EMCON settings for F22 (possibly not entirely correct)
[edit]EMCON Settings for F22 from Total Air War manual, by Digital Image Design (C)1998 Infogrames United Kingdom Limited and Digital Image Design Limited. (no ISBN or other publication information). This is based on public sources, but may have been tweaked for gameplay (it does however, provide an indication)
Manual does have bibliography, but no in-manual references to say which source is which. I'll have to sort that out sometime. (Leave me a message if you'd like details)
In the game, EMCON can be set manually, or it can be set automatically. EMCON 1 is most stealthy, EMCON 5 least stealthy.
