High realism and own navigation to unbriefed rendezous point.

[finchOU]

Couple of Questions.....

Playing on full realism with no map help anything....

Where is the rendezous point? I just started Z German mini Campaign but can see to figure out where to actually rendezous to escort the Recce Bomber on the first mission. Moved onto the second mission out of frustration...and low an behold...no briefed rendezous point from what I've read. Only thing I can think of is to fly to their airbase and hope they are there. I remember in IL-2 they would fly over your field and you would just join up autopilot and truck along..... but I cant seem to get AP to work (assuming 'no AI control' means no AP).

What am I missing?

also....my Plane Otions menu stops at visual weathering. This after the manual went on to talk about physical weathering and options to 'paint kills' on the side of the crate. Whats with that?
