bies Posted May 28, 2023 Posted May 28, 2023 (edited) My suggestion is: George/Petrovich AI should become an API to be used by all ED and 3rd party helicopters like other parts of development kit. Huey, Mi-8, Gazelle, further Kiowa, Bolkov-105 and others. It already works really good for Mi-24 and AH-64. Unified co-pilot AI = need to remember only one logic to operate all helicopters (with small modifications to accomodate needs of specific type like differences between Petrovich and George). Win - win for all ED, 3rd parties and players. Contrary - every developer forced to use their own different AI logic, and make it from scratch, different for every developer and every helicopter (and player forced to remember all the different logics co-pilot AI) would be just a bad choice. Significanly increasing all helicopters development time, making players uncomfortable to operate different helicopters and DCS feeling less unified, loose cluster of modules. cheers Edited May 29, 2023 by bies 2 1
FlankerKiller Posted May 28, 2023 Posted May 28, 2023 +1. I know it's your intellectual property. But a helicopter Ai would make the third party choppers so much more attractive. And you do get a cut of third party sells. 3
