Captor Mine Training - Though the Mk. 60 CAPTOR and MK.65 QUICKSTRIKE Sea Mines are available ordnance in Janes F/A-18, they really do not DO anything. Ships and submarines will be unaffected by them. They are just a mechanism for creating minelaying missions where proper placement of mines by the PLAYER or PLAYER Escorted aircraft can be scored by means of a WEAPON AREA GOAL. This mission won't really teach you much, but may be used as an insight into the Mission Builder WEAPON AREA GOAL. |

RWS (Range While Search) Air To Air Radar Training - This mission will familiarize you with the RWS submode of the F/A-18 Air to Air Radar. The mission illustrates some simple but important concepts in the use of the Air to Air radar to locate and lock aerial targets. This mission arose out of a discussion on the Combatsim.com F/A-18 forum on difficulties in finding targets called out by AWACS or wingmen. This training mission won't answer all those questions, but I hope it will give a basic introduction to the factors involved in using the radar to find targets. |

Formation Flying Training - UPDATE - This mission will primarily focus on "parade" formation as it's variations are some of the most widely used. Once you can fly this formation well, judging the distance between you and the others in your flight it will give you confidence to master such other daunting tasks as refueling (after all refueling is just nice tight formation flying) and side by side landings. |
