Formation turns and aerobatics question

[markturner1960]

I am trying to make a mission to practice assisted tactical turns and aerobatics & am struggling to get the AI jet to do what I want.

Since the ME has been updated, in the loop is it possible to adjust the speed etc that the AI use? I have an issue whereby  the AI jet loops waaay to fast for me to stay with him. I have set 420 kts speed

I can see in other manouvres, such as turns, there are parameters for roll angle ( whicdh would affect the rate of turn I presume) etc, but not for the loop. The G seems to be tied to the roll angle, can it be adjusted independantly to make teh AI pull harder etc ? 

Indeed, is there anyone who knows this stuff well now who can advise or a guide anywhere? The manual does not even detail or talk about using the parameters and their effetcs etc.

I found some very old threads that dont really cover my queries and not really anything of any help on you tube.....

In the enclosed mission, I have tried to make teh AI jet transition gently from fwd flight into a slight climb, then into a loop.....however, it just climbs up to about 20,000 ft and puts airbrake on and points down......what have I done wrong? 

 

Hopefully someone can help?

I tried removing the fly straight and climb parts before the loop, thinking they might be preventing the loop in some way. Now, he does the loop, but then does an aerilon roll to the left, left turns and flies north at 180 knots ......??? Not what I have programmed

I came here looking for info because I too find there's diddly-squat in the way of documentation and I also found very little out there on the interwebz.

But I see you already made a mistake that I figured out a while back, so seeing as nobody else replied, here goes:
Remember that DCS is largely developed by folks who work in metric...

Now you'll understand why in your first example the jet whooshes up to ~20k feet; that's ~7000 meters you have requested.

In your second example, the AI works as programmed; you asked it to do a barrel roll not an aileron roll. For me, it's doing exactly what was asked of it.
