Thank you sir!!

but how does this impact gameplay

It doesn't, was just curious. Since the game is all about realism. Thanks.

On the beta patch, I was playing the first tutorial. When my planes return to base, I noticed that they are still flying at around 28,000 feet or so with less than 2 miles in distance from base.

Can anyone else confirm if their planes do this?

Thanks!

<t> I'm a noob with this game-- and really the genre. So far I like it, but need additional control over the missions.<br/>

I'd like to create a separate mission for the F14's, then create a mission for the SEAD planes and finally a mission for the bombers-- and have them available and ready ...
