I was looking around the training mission when i found this...

"If a heat seeker loses track of its target, chances are it will not reacquire lock. Aspect seekers, on the other hand, will track their targets until they detonate."

WTF? thats NEVER happend! (except for bombs) and the Heat seeker relocks on the next hostile target if their target has been destroyed.

The TSM series is not intended as a substitute for actual field training.

TSM stands for These Stupid Missions.

That makes perfect sense? Aspect seekers will only go after that target you have locked down. They will keep following it till they detonate. Heat seekers just follow the heat from a ship.

Aspect seekers will follow decoys if/when they are deployed... they will also run out of fuel & detonate when they do. (As specified by their maximum range in the weapons.tbl.)

I like the fs training missions. V did a good job on them.

Training missions are pretty damn hard to make, the problem is they're not fun.

Not supposed to be. They are supposed to train you how to use your controls, before you find the entire game not fun because your are utterly defenseless against your enemies... you'd have as much chance as a fighter on the runway with enemy fighters in range and locked on.

Tell me about it. Have you any idea how many times I had to sit through Gauntlet telling me what to do to make the BtRL training mission?

To this day I think "Your instructor is not a valid target pilot!" is one of my most heard FS2 phrases cause every time I accidentally test a mission and click on the campaign room instead of the techroom I hear it.

Game_Master64 · **Reply #16 on:** July 14, 2007, 01:51:23 pm

more then once i've made my instructor a valid target, wether command likes it or not

Meh, I've tried that too but I got force-warped out.

Polpolion · **Reply #18 on:** July 14, 2007, 02:53:13 pm

In the second training mission you can order him to warp out, IIRC.
