chromium Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 Hi, after some test I became able to create an AI flights by script, making it to start from parking spot, making it bombing or CAPing in a useful way, and some other fancy thing. But I'm still struggling about how to prevent the AI to use of afterburner, to spare fuel. At the moment, as I need the AI to get over objective area at a given time, I retro-calculate flight activation delay to start it a an acceptable time and I build some intermediate waypoints to allow proper climb rates. Obviously, every time something go wrong and a delay happens in the startup or taxing procedures, this screw the average speed calculated for the ETA... making AI to use Afterburner to keep timing. Or, if obj area is too much near the airbase and the desidered flight level is too much high, that will determinee a climb rate impossible to reach whitout burners. In those paritcoular cases, I might be able to include a couple of checks in the script that would prevent those issues with some calculation (i.e. try to preview the climb rate, or check every 30 secs if the average speed to get to obj area for a given Group is too high... ) ... but if possibile I would really prefer to have a simple "Don't use burner!! (if not engaging something)" command. Do you know if there is something like that?

An airplane by it's nature wants to fly, and if not interfered with too strongly by unusual events or by a deliberately incompetent pilot, it will fly. A helicopter does not want to fly. It is maintained in the air by a variety of forces in opposition to each other, and if there is any disturbance in this delicate balance the helicopter stops flying; immediately and disastrously.
