To study a dogfight, locate that segment on the tape. Start the tape replay, lengthen the
contrails and play the tape. Stop the tape at the end of the engagement. You can then
examine the flight path more closely using the independent outside view. After grasping the
action as a whole, step through it at a few frames at a time to see the relative timing of the
maneuvers of the different aircraft and missiles.
Since the contrails extend from the aircraft’s wingtips, you can see how an aircraft reacted
in a situation. Twists in the contrails indicate rolls, bends signify turns. In addition,
whenever you have a radar lock on an enemy aircraft, a yellow line will extend from your
aircraft to the enemy aircraft.
If you have trouble identifying an object in the 3-D wireframe mode, switch to Replay mode
for a better view.
