Mission walkthrough
-
Take off cleanly
Enter the loaded plane and use the runway to build speed. Retract the landing gear after takeoff and settle into a controlled low flight.
-
Choose a clear low route
Follow the destination while using open water and broad valleys where practical. Watch the radar-warning meter: remaining too high fills it, but scraping terrain to stay low is equally dangerous.
-
Complete the drop
Approach the delivery ring in a straight line and fly through it. Confirm the objective changes before turning back; passing near the marker does not necessarily trigger the delivery.
-
Return under the radar
Use a similarly clear route to the airstrip. Make gentle turns and climb only enough to clear unavoidable terrain, then descend again before the warning meter becomes critical.
-
Land and stop
Lower the gear, align with Verdant Meadows and bring the plane to a complete stop on the runway.
Key point
The radar meter gives some room for brief altitude corrections. Use that margin to clear a dangerous ridge rather than flying directly into it to stay at the lowest possible height.
