I was very negatively surprised by the SC comms. Yesterday we were three planes in multiplayer. Two on the same flight, and a second flight where only I was. Despite the fact that my flight was made up of only my plane, when communicating with Marshall at 50Nm he reported me as "holding hands" ...
On the other hand, the other flight, of two planes, did not recognize them as belonging to the same flight, and Marshal also confused them by calling them both in the same way, and giving them the same orders separately ... Even the Alerax script knows how to correctly manage a flight of two planes in holding hands simply if those two planes, when communicating with Marshall, are together ...
It is true that SC is still in beta, but I did not fly the beta, but the release, and therefore I expected many things that were not yet complete, but never that those that were in the release, contained so many bugs.
Sincerely, I was expecting a more serious and professional module: The LSO is very, very permissive, letting you get away from the Groove at much greater distances than allowed (15-18 seconds) without being notified of a wave off; The same radio channel for all phases; bad reconnaissance of flights with several planes; Notification of Signal Charlie to flights that are in the stack at a higher level than others! ... And the worst thing is that everything indicated before was already solved by the simple Alerax script. So I can't explain how ED, with the preceding and good work done with that script, launches a product that does not at least the good of Alerax's sceipt.
Disappointed for the moment with the module, and also by the virtual pilot community. YouTube is full of single player flights with the SC or "movie" format. How many videos are there of virtual squads, managing for example stack collapsing appropriately? None. Are there really not, or are they as disappointed as our Squad, that we even value going back to the Stennis and the old Alerax script? Of course, the SC distributes the AI flights beautifully so that you can see them sitting comfortably in your LSO position ... Is SC really going to be a simple module to enjoy watching the AI cycles?
With the above I have tried to express my feelings in relation to this module, with the utmost respect for the large amount of work done and which I believe still remains to be done, because I sincerely hope that all of the above are "simple bugs" pending resolution. Thank you very much for your patience.
