thanks it worked

Sorry I just get so used to using the mouse wheel or pushing buttons I forget I'm doing it

Go to the bridge and just scroll the mouse wheel, bingo binoculars.
The second icon is the TBT. It's like the periscope but for surface attracts.
On the bridge tool bar there is the rescue aviators button.

When the cross hairs X turn red the rescue button will highlight.
They can be very difficult to pick up. Use the arrow keys to move the binoculars and have your mouse on the button and just keep clicking it when it highlights.

You have to be very close and very slow speed to pick them up.
It's a Micky Mouse way to do it but that is all we got.

Pick up as many as you can but keep an eye out for the task force it's worth it. As soon as you pick it up on radar I would suggest you save as you may want to play it again, I sure did.

Magic

Edit G2B is faster and not so long winded as I am.

Now i have another question, can you only pick up one because i have someone really close with the right binocs but it wont turn yellow.

I think there is a specific distance you have to be, not sure what it is. But there is no limit to how many pilots you can pick up I am aware of :hmmm:

Also you can not pick up enemy pilots, No pink smoke with them, just let them float away.
