Loading waypoints when entering cokpit in MP

[dcs76]

I have a multiplayer server mission template with lots of airplanes, but now flight plans/waypoints set for those airplanes.

 

As a client, whenever I connect to this server and enter a cockpit, the waypoints should be set for that aircraft. The waypoint data is outside of the miz file - say in a csv or lua file. It is ok for me to either load the waypoint data on client side or to load it on server side with the event of a client taking a slot. IF it is server side loaded, the waypoint data to be loaded could be based on the player name or the aircraft the client takes.

 

Is it possible with a client side mod or server side scripting to do this?

 

(I know of solutions which basically take a waypoint list and load it into the aircraft by automatically pressing the buttons and switches to program those waypoints. However, this requires the aircraft to be in a specific state (powered, CDU/flight computer ready to be programmed) and the client has to wait for the script to do its job. So I know how this works and this is not how I want to do it.)

The wrapper controllable of moose framework should do it, just because it sets waypoints on the fly for carriers, tankers and awacs. I'm not saying it's the best solution out there, it's the only solution I know and tinker with.

I'm pretty sure, setting steerpoints for carriers, awacs, tankers works only for AI units. Can it be used to set a whole flight plan for a player controlled aircraft? I'll have a look.

I never tried it.

 

If waypoints would work differently for ai and clients, then it would rather be poor design decision on ED's part and they're in business for a log time.
