    MOOSE - Mission Object Oriented Scripting Framework

    in Scripting Tips, Tricks & Issues

    Posted · Edited by X_Man

    The project is the best! I am watching the videos 1 by 1 to understand concepts before I dive in and start creating missions (...it's how I learn).

     

    What I intend to do is to create a series of missions that I will run for about 8 hrs on a local server and then join the server as a client through out the day as my real life schedule permits. The idea is I will get the dynamic AI world going about it's business of war as I go about my day. I am so excited!!!

     

    I have a question for FC! Is it possible to script for example RED coalition AI to land after a task at another RED airbase at random if the original airbase has changed allegiance (i.e. captured)?

     

    - Nevermind - Just watched the AIBalancer Functional overview.

    No love for p- 39 Aerocobra?

    As NeilWills pointed out, it was a flawed aircraft for what the USAAF wanted.

     

    Oleg and his team's rendition of the aircraft was not correct. The IL-2 FM over exaggeration the impact of wing load to aircraft performance and not enough on all of the other forces that govern flight.

     

    The P-39 had a single-stage, single-speed supercharger. MiloMorai is also correct - it was removed because the intake crated an incredible amount of drag and it was also expensive.

     

    My guess is the cannon firing through the propeller hub, in addition to the location of the engine (behind the pilot) made the aircraft great for ground strafing which would be important over the eastern front.

    That's why the US knew all about USSR air defense technology

    The one thing that ticks me off is when people cannot tell the difference from real news and fake news.

     

    The truth is American military aviation has always been reactionary. When USSR came out with the MiG-25, it scared the USSAF and thus the F-15 was born. Just to find out The MiG-25 was capable to reach Mach 3.2 but if it was stripped and it's missile were designed to take out fast but not maneuverable bombers like B-52s and B-58s. The F-14 was designed to take combat both USSR bombers and possible fighter escort as the 1st line of defense.

     

    Anyone who thinks the US needed a Soviet traitor to help masterminds like Kelly Johnson, Pierre Sprey, John Boyd and Thomas P. Christie pave the way of US military aviation and fighter aircraft theory is gravely mistaken.

     

    The fact is both the US and USSR were using captured Luftwaffe wonder weapon drawings (...see the resemblance b/w the early Soviet (more so) and US fighters to the Ta-183. Look at the B-48 and Ho-229 and tell me the resemblance is coincidence.

     

    More recent, the US moved on to stealth were the Soviets went with maneuverability and that is were we are today (that we know of anyway).

     

    With relation to ED, I am sure they are trying to make these aircraft as close to the information they has access to. It's not a conspiracy theory for ED to keep Russian aircraft from their full potential.

    Chromium - Thank you very much for this mod! I love it! It makes an otherwise not so simple task of creating quasi-random and believable weather on the fly.

     

    I use CheckWX: Aviation Weather as a way to randomize the airports I use.

     

    Thank you again!

     

    Maybe dynamic weather could be simulated by using download CheckWX data randomly - or something :)

    Sticking with Win 7 - 64 bit because of FSX and IL-2. I have issues with letting go Haha! Don't judge me :) I just threw away my European Air War, Falcon 2.0, FC 2 CDs earlier this year - spring cleaning my wife called it. It was a very sad day for me.
