Side:
Select the object’s side.
Name:
Select the specific building object name.
Heading:
Set the orientation of the building object. Enter a number 0 to 360 to designate the
direction that the building faces.
Include in Sim:
Specifies whether the selected airport is added to the mission as a simulation
object.
Land-based simulation objects can be detected and marked by Ownship’s periscope if Ownship is
within 3 miles of the contact. If the land object emits radar it can also be detected and marked by
ESM. Detected land simulation objects can be targeted with land attack missiles during gameplay.
Buildings that are not simulation objects appear in the periscope (and in 3D if Show Truth is on) but
can not be marked or destroyed in the mission.
Auto Detect:
Specifies whether or not the building is always visible during a mission.When this
option is selected the building appears on the Nav map automatically with an
L
designation and is
not hidden when Link Data is off. (See Main Menu/Options/Game/Show Link Data on p. 29.)
Sub Command Tip: If you select Auto Detect for an object you must also select
Include in Sim if you want to be able to destroy the object in the game.
