Wingman mid-air collisions while landing


Recommended Posts

Posted

A number of times while landing in v1.2 of Warthog, my wingman has crashed into me.

 

I think he is trying to slow down and is snaking left to right behind me, before he finally just smashes into me...

 

Why does the AI try to land in formation with you when it clearly doesn't work.. taking off in formation is dangerous enough..

 

Is there any way to prevent this or is a patch in the works?

You need to approach and stay well left of centre and all will be OK.

Really? Usually I use ILS because I like my nice yellow cross on the ADI :) If I have to be off-centre then doesn't that make ILS pointless?

 

If I'm at the right speed (green circle on AOA indicator) then should the wingman actually be able to handle it?

The AI collision detection is something that has been worked on and improved. It will hopefully make the next patch.

You are just slightly more than an aircraft's width off-centre so it should not affect your ILS landing too much. And yeah, flying the doughnut should be OK, although I think the A.I. usually aborts if you don't come in fast - would have to check that though so don't take my word for it.

ILS is not built to land in formation. It is designed to give you the ability to land even if you don't see anything. If you land with a wingman at your side you need to think about your wingman! His Warthog is just as big as yours and needs the same amount of space on the runway. You will have to share the available space so everybody can land somewhere. Usually you do this by choosing one side and let the AI use the other side of the runway. ILS will show you that you are off-center because you actually are off center. The center is between you and your wingman.
