fixed AI ignores runway being taken, levitates after collision

edit: for some reason, the forum removed all the text i wrote. ??????? so again...

 

i ignored ATC and drove straight to runway, positioned myself there waiting for my take off time.

wingman then reached the end of his taxiway leading to the runway and stopped. after some time, he decided to roll out and drove into me on the runway (bug i assume).

 

after the collision, the wingman started levitating above the ground (another bug)

after some more testing i found out that the AI simply ignores player on the runway

 

me afar with afterburner, wingman near the camera. just drove in right after me and started accelerating.

 

 

forgot to add, this is on todays OB

okay, this happens even if you correctly ask ATC for permission to take off and receive it.

 

wingman completely disregards you and drives into you. after taking off, ATC still kept talking to me, completely nonsensically telling me that i can taxi, that i can take off, that i cannot take off and so on.

 

this part of ai is completely busted in current dcs version. for now, you have to take off at the edge of the runway, or your wingman will crush you.

 

ps: i have a trackfile nicely demonstrating this right away but i cant attach it because of the stupid 5MB limit. its 2021, why is the limit so absurdly low? it doesnt even fit campaign missions, let alone the track data. how are we supposed to report bugs?

This also happens with AI on AI as well. It does not need to be a human player for one AI to taxing onto a runway while another AI is turning around at the end to line up. I see it happen a lot with AI AH-64s waiting then taxing into the plane taking off.

Reproduced.

It seems it's only an AI Viggen issue. Here's the same track with F-5E instead of AJS37: no issue.

i had it happen with spitfire in the initial 2.7 version once.

 

not sure if its the same exact bug tho, could be airport issue etc.
