Cruise Altitude = increments of 250 feet (above the target)
Found it out by accident, when I was testing some SS-Ns flying at 10,000 feet and realized cruise alt was set to 40.
So I moved it up to 66 and sure enough they went up to 16,500 feet.
Still not sure how distance correlates.
I have the following:
> Primary Dist = 50
> Primary Alt = 66
> Secondary Dist = 25
> Secondary Alt = 1
Basically they do a near vertical drop onto the target.
It's supposed to be this (at least per the help file)
Primary = If distance is greater than this, do this
Secondary = If distance is greater than this but less than primary do this
Been testing a little on the AIM-54C.
Put it up to 80 (20,000 feet) and just nothing hit
Down to 40 (10,000 feet) and some better success
The distances are odd because no matter what I change the secondary to, it doesn't start its descent until it's almost on top of the target.
Yes I figured that out as well... Allows you to build a cruise missile that will fly high enough to skirt the mountain tops inland and then when closer to a ship off shore drop down and sea-skim at 250 ft... Unfortunately my testing of aircraft as cruise missiles only works if you edit the mission file and give it just enough fuel to get it to the target where it runs out of gas and crashes.. Hopefully into the target if it isn't shot down first by AAA, SAMs, and aircraft... You have to guess at fuel levels to use the fuel command at the start of the mission file to get it to work well enough... The trick is to get it to drop invisible cluster bombs so it looks like the missile warhead went off...
