Beny sur Mer taxi bug

I noticed a bug since yesterday's update. At Beny sur mer, AI planes taxi as if they were stuck in superglue. Painfully slowly. Happens to the Spit and the P-51 too.

EDIT: It's happening at other airfields too!! :(

Hey Reflected, seeing a kinda similar issue in multiplayer with real folks: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=207139

Err...not sure how it's related. That one's more about crashing and freezing. My problem is that AI WW2 planes taxi like a pregnant snail on the Normandy map.

OK, I took the taxi slowness as a freeze. Apologies.

An AI FW-190 flight trying to take off from Evreux. They got stuck in this position FOREVER. This bug has seriously messed up many missions, I'm surprised nobody else reported this :(

I think I found why it's happening. It seems that the collision avoidance of the AI when taxiing has been set to very sensitive. As soon as anything is near his path he stops. But in an exaggerated way. See in the video, the AI Spit could have taxied onto the runway, but 50 yards ahead there were parked Spits, so he stopped, and started creeping forward inch by inch.

Hi Reflected

 

we do have some taxi issues reported and some resolved internally, when I test this it seems to run ok internally so hopefully it wont be long before you see the changes.

 

thanks

Thanks, much appreciated!

Unfortunately the problem is still there after today's update. AI still won't taxi normally, valid for all planes, all airfields, as long as there is an object anywhere near their path :(

Here it is:

1) Planes will not taxi on to the runway because the second flight is in their way at the other side of the runway. It doesn't matter that they don't want to taxi all the way there. Once the second flight taxies, they move on.

2) A Spit gets stuck because of an oil barrel in front of the hangars in the grass. He never wants to taxi off the taxiway, but stops nonetheless.

3) Same mission the barrel moved back, that Spit taxies freely, but another one from another flight gets stuck halfway on the runway, heaven knows why, perhaps the windsock is in his path?

What about the first one though? There are no barrels, and the obstacle is a flight of Spit that are not even in the way?

Thanks!
