Iceman AI pilot BUG

[Lau]

Latest open beta

Issue:

While running through the RIO startup procedure in single player, I noticed that Iceman was throttling up the plane, making it necessary for me to jump in to the pilot seat to rev down the plane.

When?

Plane is on the deck ot the supercarrier with parking brake, elec and air con connected.

Iceman be like, common man, startup faster, I wanna get going!

Srsly though, thank you for the report. Iceman should not touch any controls when on the ground ofc. Tracked.

He does it in flight, too.

What precisely? We fixed the ground start issue with the previous patch.

I'll set the throttle about half for cruise, turn on the autopilot so I can hop in the backseat to practice radar and LANTIRN and I'll hear the afterburner start puffing (in the A).

He may punch the cans, if he feels he needs to hold a certain speed. At what speed do you switch? At what AOA etc?

I think something most people need to understand is that when you witch to the back seat Iceman doesn't try to do "Attitude hold and leave the throttles where they are" he more tries to "keep speed, altitude, and heading at time of switch"

The thing is that the behavior changed.  For going on two years I've run SP missions with long way points so I could hit 2 and practice RIO stuff either radar looking for C130 or F-15 or F-16, etc doing race tracks or LANTIRN looking at cars and casinos on the strip. It's been a month or two so not sure which update did it. Maybe the autopilot rework.

If I have time tonight I'll make note of speed and altitude... I would guess about 21 to 24k ft at Nellis on Nevada map heading south about 300 to 350 kts or so.
