Hamster0 Posted September 6, 2021 Posted September 6, 2021 Hi all, Not sure if this has been asked already or able to implement with current unit selection interface. It is of course very annoying if you get disconnected and then have to re-join and do a cold start from the ground - and being 25 mins behind your flight lead. This goes to a core issue of lost connection on multiplayer servers. However i think there is a relatively easy solution to a sub-set of servers. How about giving option in mission editor "AI takes control" of any disconnected aircraft. This could be for a set time e.g. max 5 mins whereby the AI adopts a holding pattern around current position or next WP. Then you can re-join server and when you select the plane you got disconnected from its flying around where you left it. By making it an option in mission editor then it wouldn't affect PVP servers...and if your worried about a random stealing your plan then be quick or add a password to your server. If no person jumps in after 5 mins the plane can de-spawn. Or if you want to reset, someone just joins the plane then returns to spectators.
