STEP 5 — MISSION PLANNER SCREEN

All Connection Types

Note: This section does not apply to Death Match mode (Instant Action).

As soon as the Master selects a mission type, he or she may select the

Mission

Planner

. The Mission Planner options in a multi-player game are almost identical

to those of a single-player game, but several options are specific to multi-player

play. This section discusses only the multi-player options — for details on the

other options, see p. 1.10 in the

Reference Manual

Selecting Pilot and CP/G Seats

You select a seat in a multi-player game just as you do in single-player games. If

you want to switch into another pilot’s seat, however, you must select one that cur-

rently has a computer pilot. (If the seat is occupied by a human pilot, that pilot

must first unseat himself.)

You can’t fly as a wingman in a computer-controlled helicopter flight. Likewise, you

can’t fly in the CP/G position under a computer-controlled lead pilot. Any violations

to these rules must be resolved before you can exit the

Mission Planner

screen.

To switch into a CP/G position, you must first unseat yourself from your current

position, and find a helicopter that already has a human pilot. Then, use the Chat

Window to ask that pilot to place you in his CP/G seat.
