Rudel_chw Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 (edited) Hello, I'm having trouble getting my AI wingmen (on a Group of 4 aircraft, me plus 3 AI wingmen) to Taxi behind me ... as soon as I get ATC clearance to taxi, they zoom ahead and pass before me ... I have no choice but to follow them at the back of the pack, and when two gets to the Runway threshold it just sits there. My workaround so far is to put them on parking slots on a different taxiway, and block their way to the Runway with an armor vehicle. Then, when I'm ahead of them, a flag moves the armor away so the wingmen can continue, this time behind me. Is there a more elegant solution? .. my workaround is ugly with that armor on the middle of the taxiway ... here is a video of it: IqiewyYC-94 Also, a second problem that I have is that the wingmen are waiting too long before entering the Runway, I'm 20 miles away from the airbase by the time the fourth ship takes off ... is there a way of having them take off closer to one another? Thanks a lot for any help, as I'm still fairly newbie to mission design :) Edited August 26, 2018 by Rudel_chw For work: iMac mid-2010 of 27" - Core i7 870 - 6 GB DDR3 1333 MHz - ATI HD5670 - SSD 256 GB - HDD 2 TB - macOS High Sierra For Gaming: 34" Monitor - Ryzen 3600X - 32 GB DDR4 2400 - nVidia GTX1070ti - SSD 1.25 TB - HDD 10 TB - Win10 Pro - TM HOTAS Cougar - Oculus Rift CV1 Mobile: iPad Pro 12.9" of 256 GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breaklight Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 I would'nt know the answer to your question unfortunately but a suggestion i have is how about making your work around look less ugly? If you put an airfield car (hummer?) or maybe a single soldier (being a ground marshaller) can you then get the same effect? Would at least look less ugly I think. Good luck Verstuurd vanaf mijn SM-G930F met Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feefifofum Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 The simple answer is don't request taxi until you're ready to taxi. THE GEORGIAN WAR - OFFICIAL F-15C DLC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironhand Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 The way I handle your second question is to slowly orbit the base until everyone’s wheels up, then head out.

Thanks for the suggestion, will give it a try ... I used the tank because I had read, on this Forum, that sometimes the AI wingmen try to run trough the smaller vehicles or foot soldiers ... but hadnt actually tried it myself ... will give it a go. The simple answer is don't request taxi until you're ready to taxi. I do ... but even so, my AI wingmen are quicker than me :) The way I handle your second question is to slowly orbit the base until everyone’s wheels up, then head out. Thanks a lot, will do that ... pity that there seems to be no other way :) Best regards and thank you all for the suggestions.

Ironhand Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Ummm....silly question but, if this is a mission you’re designing, why not just place yourself so that you’re at the head of the line? Just select start locations that work to your advantage.

Just select start locations that work to your advantage. Its just because I wanted to start near my flight group, like in real life .. parking them within the airfield, on far away places, didnt seem right. Anyway, I re-tested and turns out that a single soldier is able to get the planes to stop the taxi :) :D Thanks a lot for all the suggestions, I'm finally starting to feel at ease within the Editor ... its almost as much fun as sim-flying.

Ironhand Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Would you consider sharing the mission? I'm curious as to why the AI aren't waiting for you to start moving before they do. If you're all together, it seems like there shouldn't be an issue.

Hardcard Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 I instantly imagined the pilot honking like crazy and cursing when I saw that :D I'm finally starting to feel at ease within the Editor ... its almost as much fun as sim-flying.

Certainly, thanks for the interest ... here it is: https://1drv.ms/u/s!Ai6cuX3YQI26g_5_TxwK84Sb05u9LQ I've also included the aircraft liveries, you can just extract the zip into /saved games/DCSxxx/ and it will add both the mission and the skins. This mission takes place at dusk, so you will need the VirPil airfields objects, as I made use of their light towers ... the standard lights of DCS are currently too weak. This Mod can be downloaded from here: https://virpil.com/en/news/58-vpc-airfield-equipment-dlya-dcs-world It can be placed on Saved Games, so it doesnt impact the Integrity Check.

Ironhand Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Not sure why you placed yourself away from the rest of your flight in slot 31. But if you move your aircraft to slot 20, your follow the leader problem is solved. You'll be at the head of the line. The wingman logic is simply to taxi with collision avoidance. They don't really "follow" anyone. But they won't start moving until you do and that's the key.
