[. . . ] To do this, create a number of consecutive CAP waypoints around the area you want the flight to patrol. After the last CAP waypoint, create a LOITER waypoint. When the flight reaches the LOITER waypoint, the pilots will calculate the fuel needed to redo the circuit. If they have enough, they will continue the patrol; otherwise they will return to base. Note that the flight will only repeat a consecutive string of CAP waypoints immediately preceding the LOITER waypoint. If a waypoint of another action separates the CAP and LOITER waypoints, any CAP waypoints before this other action are not repeated. No waypoints other than CAP can be repeated with LOITER. ESCORT: The flight will protect a corridor around their assigned flight path from incursion by enemy fighters. They will stay as close as possible to their flight path and will not engage aircraft that do not pose an air-to-air threat to the escorted flight, such as strike aircraft or non-aggressive fighters. To use this action effectively, the speed and flight paths of the escorting flight should match those of the flight it is escorting. LAND: This should be set only at your home airfield. This action will automatically be set for the last waypoint of the route. TAKEOFF: The TAKEOFF action will only affect your personal F-16. The action can only be assigned to the start waypoint of your flight path and only when this waypoint is over your home base. The wingmen in your flight will already be in the air circling the airfield waiting for you to take off. 130 FALCON 3. 0 Target: Selecting this button will cycle through the target frag list and assign the displayed target to the flight. The frag list contains the most significant military targets at the site, in order of importance. The Target button will only be enabled when the Action button displays BOMB. If you move the waypoint away from the site, the target selection will be reset to the top of the list, even if the waypoint is subsequently returned to that site. Zoom to Target: Clicking this button will zoom the map display to a 3-D close-up of the assigned target to help you identify your objective when you reach the target site. The zoomed image will rotate, giving you a 360° view of your target, until you click the mouse button or press the e key. Once you are satisfied with your flight plan, select the Assign Pilots button. Assign Pilots screen The Assign Pilots screen allows you to select particular pilots to fly the F-16s in a mission. You will only be able to assign pilots to the F-16s in your flight. [. . . ] Speed of heat ­ somewhere between the speed of sound and the speed of light. Often used when egressing the target area. The folks back there are no doubt angry, and you'd like to put as much distance between them and your jet as quickly as possible.
