Sim Skunk Works LN3 Confguration file, route LIRS (Grosetto) to LFKS (Solenzara), and RTB. This is the first of a series of flight plans for NATO operations of the cold war period, using the Sim Skunk Works G91, TF-104G and F-104G. It simulates an operation during a NATO excercise, where an Aeronautica Militare F-104G equipped with a reconnaisance pod is tasked to complete a Hi Lo Hi sortie to Solenzara AB in Sardinia. It is suitable for either the TF-104G or F-104G and uses 10 waypoints; routing LIRS-ELKAP-ELBA-CALVI-AJO-FGI-VP009 (IP)-LFKS-LINGU-VP222. After taking off from Grosetto, climb at FL 10 transiting over the island of Elba, thence letting down to as low as you dare at maximum speed over the Mediterranean Sea. After crossing the Sardinan coastline on the north of the island, the track will take you to the central highlands to the north west of Mount Cinto, then south and west, terrain following at high subsonic speeds. The IP for the photo run is VP009, to the south of Solenzara on the coast. After overflying the airfield at 500 feet then escape back to LIRS via LINGU in a Hi profile.
Sortie wil require full tip tanks and internal fuel, minimum speed during the task 400 knots. As per common NATO Starfighter operating procedures, fast and low is the order of the day !
For proper operation of waypoint selection you will need to bind a joystick or keyboard command to "annunciator switch on/and off" as per the SSW hints manual.
