- It is possible to fly to these airfields by selecting the required departure airfield on the SITUATION display, followed by ‘Practice’, and ‘Single’ or ‘Pairs Take-off’ on the MISSION display.
- Target airfields have no navigation or airfield aids so a visual landing is required.
- Approach lighting is displayed in daylight plus runway and taxiway lighting at night.
- It is possible to refuel at these airfields at any time, including during combat sorties, but ones aircraft must be on a suitable dispersal or a warning message will be displayed stating that no services are available.
- For speed and fuel economy reasons, high level transits are recommended with cruise descents from about 65 nm from estimated position of the destination airfield.
- One must fly very accurately when looking for these airfields as some have no scenery associated with them. This is especially important when planning to fly to any of the inland airfields and correct use of the Autopilot is essential.
- The player must decide on the fuel configuration required for the trip. (Even with over-wing tanks fitted, a fast trip to TALLINN will probably require refuelling at GDANSK. Does it ?!!)
- To help with visual detection of the airfield (about 8 nm max), the fighter should descend to about 5000 to 10000 feet.
- GDANSK and TALLINN are very close to the coast so using the aircrafts AI radar in the ground mapping mode can be a useful asset for navigation, especially at night or in cloudy conditions when the surface is not visible.
- A trip from GUTERSLOH to TALLINN, stopping to refuel at POZNAN on the way, is an excellent test of ones ability to navigate !!
