Let AI fly a recorded track

[Quanun]

Hi everyone!

I would love to have a feature in the mission editor where i can assign a previously recorded track(file) to an AI unit (Plane) so it would "refly" it.

I often lack the time and skill to engage in Multiplayer-Events but i want to practice things like Formationflying and other Multi-Plane "adventures".
Unfortunatlly i also lack the skill to "program" AI Units via the Mission Editor to act "natural" (or at least how i would expect it).

Beeing able to fly a formation-lead track, save it, assign it to an AI = Let "it" refly the track while flying the wingman part would be awesome and offers alot of other interesting opportunities i think.

 

Sorry if there already is a way to do this!

 

Thanks and keep up the great work!

Oh, reading my mind yesterday were you? 

I was thinking the same thing after messing about with recording tracks. Imagine mission builders being able to fly the whole squadron individually, or maybe just a section. Would be a ridiculous amount of work but would knock the crap out of the AI efforts at being wingmen.

Like yourself, I dunno if it’s possible?

Oh, and welcome .

Yes ago, the old DCS used to be able to do this..

That should be easy enough. Make a two ship, fly the leader. Save track. Run track and jump in the wingman. Except I assume the leader won't follow the recorded track.  

Excellent idea! Too bad I can't give the thread
