AI F-18s causes crashes on carrier deck

[Tango777]

PG Map, no weather (severe clear), daytime, offline, single player.

 

When an AI F-18 lands it taxis into a parked F-18 causing mass damage, and even in this case causes the player (me) to die.

 

Attached is the trk file, dxdiag, and a screenshot of the actual problem. This problem always happen on the deck, except in this case it killed me, the player.

 

This leads to a question: Why do I contact the carrier for landing clearance and the carrier clears me to land, but the AI Hornets do not contact the carrier for clearance and problems happen?

 

When operating out of an air base on land the tower tells AI airplanes to go around because of an occupied runway. So can the carrier be programmed the same way?

 

Another example: On other occasions what happens is that right after I land, and before my hook is even fully retracted, another AI Hornet lands behinds me and crashes into me.

Yeah... I would put this down to a WIP, pre-release issue.

 

Recently after practicing take-off's and landings on the ship, I put out the command for the flight to RTB. I landed er, arrived, raised the hook, folded my wings, and quickly moved to park beside another Hornet on the carrier deck.

 

While I was sitting there trying to figure out how to shut down my engines, I see wingie #2 call sign "Nordo"catch a wire and stop in front of me. Nicely done ...except for the fact that #3, call sign "Obie", (short for Oblivious) was at that very instant slamming into the deck and catching one of the 3 unused cables... Obie plows into the back of Nordo's jet while yelling over the radio "I'm hit!"...

 

Nordo ejects, the deck is aflame. The ship’s loudspeakers blare (in my head) “Fire on the flight deck, fire on the flight deck!” The deck is covered in flame and smoke. My aircraft, apparently hit by debris, then bursts into flames.

 

After action report:

 

1) I almost fell off my chair lol'n so hard.

 

2) Seems we may have left port without our fire crews... (investigation underway)

 

3) UFN I'll be sending my AI flight to land at the nearest divert field... ;)

 

4) Obie peeled potato's for the rest of the cruise.
