skipping to waypoint during combat

I've had this game for about 6 years now, and one of the things that has always bugged me is not being able to bring up waypoints during combat.

For example, my planes damaged and I'm out of ammo.

Slewing is possible in Free Flight & Quick Combat only. In campaign missions you have to fly back or bail out. If damaged, try to leave the battle arena at low level. Once clear of the enemy you can climb, if possible, and skip back. If your plane is significantly damaged you may still crash. In that case your best option is to fly to friendly airspace and ditch or bail out.

I just answered your question in the CFS3 forum.

Adding this entry to combatfs.cfg will allow you to warp at will in QC & Missions. I'm not sure if it works online.

Thanks for your responses (both of yours, Hagar).  For the record, my question did get answered first in the CFS3 forum ;)

I don't know why microsoft didn't just include a map you can view in flight.

Happy flying.

It was me that answered it & only because I happened to be online when you posted it. I rarely, if ever, visit the CFS3 forum. :P

I think that was addressed in CFS2.

I asked for CFS for Christmas, so I'll find out soon enough!
