Random Aircraft Patrol spawn for a persistent online mission

[Tank50us]

I'm building a persistent online mission for my group and I'm wanting to have instances where, at random times while the server is running, various aircraft will spawn from different airfields, patrol their respective zones, and RTB when they hit Bingo fuel or run out of weapons, and it be constant, with no spaces being taken up at the airfields or carriers.

 

Is there any way to do this? If so, let me know, I could use the help to make the map feel a bit more 'alive' on the next iteration.

There are lots of ways to do this, a lot easier to code it than make it all work in ME. It's not a simple thing to do as there would be a number of variables to consider but it's not a difficult programming task. I could probably help you put something together, drop me a PM on Discord. PravusJSB#9484

Moos has a few plugins that may suite you:
1. Cap plus gci:

2. Cap in zone:
https://flightcontrol-master.github.io/MOOSE_DOCS/Documentation/AI.AI_Cap.html

3. Just patrolling:
https://flightcontrol-master.github.io/MOOSE_DOCS/Documentation/AI.AI_Patrol.html

I think the latter two rely on an event to start operations, but I hope you can use your own triggers for that.

I have used other moose scripts before and I can recommend them. It was long time ago, so I may not be the one to answer your technical questions.

I usually use RAT (Random Air Traffic) scripts with M.O.O.S.E.

You can limit them to only red or blue AF's as in the example below.

 

local RAT=RAT:New("RAT1")  -- must match unit name in mission editor
RAT:SetCoalition("sameonly")  
RAT:SetCoalitionAircraft("blue")  -- or "red"
RAT:SetTakeoffHot()  -- or Cold or Air

RAT:Spawn(8)  -- or any number you want
