Wrecking Crew Posted September 1, 2013 Posted September 1, 2013 (edited) Combined Arms in multiplayer has Ground Commander slots for controlling vehicles. Make a new Air Commander capability that can be used to control the AI aircraft from any Client in multiplayer who joins these slots. This could allow for the development of AI a/c control code to progress w/o affecting the current GC functionality. Perhaps the concept could be extended to a Naval Commander capability, as well. Wrecking Crew Folks, I *know* the host can do this now from a Ground Commander slot in multiplayer - that is not sufficient.

chromium Posted September 1, 2013 Posted September 1, 2013 You can control them, also in multiplayer, but only if you are the host. So, as for the old radio command problem (solved in 1.2.4), I think that should be read as a bug instead of a wanted feature. And I'm really confident that ED knows it and maybe it will be addressed at the right time :) Author of DSMC, mod to enable scenario persistency and save updated miz file Stable version & site: https://dsmcfordcs.wordpress.com/ Openbeta: https://github.com/Chromium18/DSMC The thing is, helicopters are different from planes. An airplane by it's nature wants to fly, and if not interfered with too strongly by unusual events or by a deliberately incompetent pilot, it will fly. A helicopter does not want to fly. It is maintained in the air by a variety of forces in opposition to each other, and if there is any disturbance in this delicate balance the helicopter stops flying; immediately and disastrously.

verana_ss Posted September 2, 2013 Posted September 2, 2013 So, as for the old radio command problem (solved in 1.2.4), If you are referring to a problem that the only host can(could) interact with radio command online, that's actually a great news.
Wrecking Crew Posted September 2, 2013 Author Posted September 2, 2013 Many servers including my own have basic video cards and use the Render3D = Off - so no Host capability to control AI a/c. This post is about getting the AI a/c control functionality to *all* Ground Commanders. radio command problem??

chromium Posted September 2, 2013 Posted September 2, 2013 Yes Verana_cc AFAIK the client radio command problem was solved in 1.2.4 as you can read by official Wags updates: "• The Radio Menu F10 option now works in network games." http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=104922 And as I said before in my personal opinion it's an issue more than a feature that client ground commander can't act on aircrafts. In the first moment it have been confirmed as an issue, like you can read at the end of this thread: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=1708296#post1708296 But since testers are not from ED it could be possible that I've misunderstood it, and since Wags itself put the radio commands working in MP as a feature, maybe you're right to ask it here in the whislist... and obviously +1 for me! :D Author of DSMC, mod to enable scenario persistency and save updated miz file Stable version & site: https://dsmcfordcs.wordpress.com/ Openbeta: https://github.com/Chromium18/DSMC The thing is, helicopters are different from planes.
