E) I think I found out part of the problem with my player plane keeping up with the squad. From the minute of take off my squadron did nothing but climb. We made it to 32,000 feet if I'm reading my altimeter right.
Can you check your mission file for y position. Y is altitude in meters (I thought). It should not exceed 6 or 7 K meters.
Not sure where the mission files are located, but the one information I did find listed altitude and not Y. The number behind the altitude was 4175 or some similar number, if that's meters then my flight is at 14,000 plus feet.
