Uncontrolled Client Aircraft

[Dannyvandelft]

I'm sure it's been asked before, but it bears repeating. ED could you make it so uncontrolled client aircraft show up on the tarmac and deck? So when you spawn into a fresh server, or a low populated one, airfields and carriers look alive with planes parked everywhere.

I think it would be great if ED did provide this ability. For aircraft on airfields and FARPS (but not ships), there are scripts available that can do this: @Hardcard's original SWAPR and my re-imagination of The Original.

While it would of course be much preferable to have a solution provided from ED, be advised that there are many people who try this, and often are taken aback by the performance hit that their mission can take on a client. Not on the server itself; a typical server mission is often designed to support a multitude of different client planes, and loading these many different models and their (usually hefty) textures can take a noticeable toll on performance whenever they are within the view cone, especially if they are close, as on an airfield.

So be careful what you wish for; perhaps play around with these scripts to see if they can be used as a stop gap (oooooh, a cheap pun!) until ED provides such an option.
