Bearfoot Posted June 9, 2020 Posted June 9, 2020 AI F-14 (skill on Excellent, if that makes a difference), starting 1000 ft ASL 350 knots GS several miles behind carrier on BRC. Create a landing waypoint ahead of it. Aircraft approaches carrier and gets into pattern correctly (breaks, dirties up with hook down, downwind, groove, etc.). And gets waved off. Again, And again. And again. I lost count after more than half a dozen times. Restarted same mission. Same result. Tried 2-3 times, and, again, no trappings just wave-offs. Changed aircraft to F-18 (everything else the same). Trapped on first pass. Repeat the mission multiple times, and consistently trapped on first pass. Back to F-14. Fiddled about with starting and waypoint settings (speed, altitude, etc.) in various ways. Same result for a while, and then in one of the iterations got a trap on the first try. Aha! But :( when I reran the mission, again, wave off, wave off, wave off. Back to F-18 ... and yep, trapped on first pass.
IronMike Posted June 9, 2020 Posted June 9, 2020 Thank you. Could you provide me with the mission and a short track please? The track is most important so ED can look into it. They are already aware that the AI is not perfect in the groove.

Bearfoot Posted June 10, 2020 Author Posted June 10, 2020 (edited) Ok, here are the mission file and some track files. In the first one, the Tomcat makes a dozen or more passes before finally trapping. Which is still better than he was doing last night (didn't trap at all). The second track has him trapping on the second or maybe third attempt. Which is great. Same mission in both cases, so there's a lot of variation.f14-sc-trap-test.mizf14-sc-test1-01.trkf14-sc-test1-02.trk Edited June 10, 2020 by Bearfoot

LanceCriminal86 Posted June 10, 2020 Posted June 10, 2020 I have seen similar issues as well, where a stack of 4 Tomcats in the pattern will have issues with jamming up in the landing pattern so both keep getting waved off. It's an endless cycle, and basically one is nose to tail with each other trying to land. I'll re-try the mission I had the problem in and see if it is persisting but it really seems like the Supercarrier had a LOT more work that needed to be done. Like aircraft spawning inside each other. Heatblur Rivet Counting Squad™ VF-11 and VF-31 1988 [WIP] VF-201 & VF-202 [WIP]
