sobek Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 (edited) OK it will fly perfect, but it's programmer is somewhat a dull person :) Please find more constructive ways to deal with your dissatisfaction with certain parts of the simulator than calling the responsible developer "dull". I should program the AI... my pilots will nab you all the time :) I'd very much like to see that. Edited May 24, 2013 by sobek Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two. Come let's eat grandpa!

GGTharos Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 Because air to air combat is very procedural, but complex. If you knew anything about AI you'd have known that imagination doesn't factor the least bit into it. It's just a huge number of choices with a huge number of paths to take. You could spend quite a bit of time trying to program it all in, even if you started with a ready-made AI engine :) I should program the AI... my pilots will nab you all the time :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda
ED Team Yo-Yo Posted May 24, 2013 ED Team Posted May 24, 2013 I've been flying against the highest level AI settings with some success. 7 out of 10 sorties, I bag the AI, but only after about 20 or more minutes of intense maneuvering to fool the AI's energy fighting strategy. The other 30% is from loosing my engine by trying to match energy states - which I have NEVER been able to attain. I've even tried not to engage to see if I could match energy status with the AI. My engine gives out doing so almost every time. The AI is fun and challenging, but at the same time damned frustrating and completely unrealistic. Being a computer I'm flying against, it knows my exact energy state, alpha, where my gun sight is pointing in space at all times, no matter what his aspect to me is. I've seen it make just the most minute bank, or pitch maneuver to completely ruin a gun solution... when a live pilot would have no idea where my piper is to make such decisions. Noway. AI knows only your position and velocity - as well as you know AI's. Then it's only a math he can compute. :) AS well as your brain can do it but in the different way. Ніщо так сильно не ранить мозок, як уламки скла від розбитих рожевих окулярів There is nothing so hurtful for the brain as splinters of broken rose-coloured spectacles. Ничто так сильно не ранит мозг, как осколки стекла от разбитых розовых очков (С) Me
mdnd Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 Really good AI would be great in games..but if someone figures out how to do that..it will go beyond games. No thanks.
sobek Posted May 25, 2013 Posted May 25, 2013 Let's not get into namecalling, shall we, we all know where that ends. Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two. Come let's eat grandpa! Use punctuation, save lives!
msalama Posted May 25, 2013 Posted May 25, 2013 Indeed Sobek, my apologies. The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of.
