When flying missions since the start, I notice that we are nearly never sent to land at the field we took off from. The last waypoint sends us to another field, which is not my home field. The details after a mission show, though, that I landed at the homefield. Not a big deal, just curious as to why.

Also, I see the F11 is for Show Player damage. By using this does it toggle on/off the visual damage to my airplane, or is it supposed to offer me information on where (or what) my plane is damaged? Again, just curious.

Thank you.

In my campaigns so far, the flight leader always returns to our home field.

My assumption is that it depends if you get the 'Withdraw' message or not. If you're getting a spanking then you land at the nearest airfield and it is classed as 'home' because your flight leader tells you to...

But if you are the ones dishing out the spanking then you should head to your actual home as per waypoints? Just my guess on what I've experienced so far.



Edit: Or it coudl be related to the bug I've had where I can't give orders because they are 'already landing'
