How to switch aircrafts in a single-player mission??

[uboats]

In the ME, I set all flyable aircrafts to be client.

 

Then after start the mission in single player mode, there will be a dialogue asking you

to choose an aircraft.

 

But how can I change the aircraft in the game without quit to the main menu and restarting mission?

Just esc and the go to briefing... then choose your aircraft.

F2 to desired aircraft view then Ralt + I

[Justo Swank]

Just esc and the go to briefing... then choose your aircraft.

 

Can you even do that in singleplayer?

Thought it was f2 then Ralt + J ? Have to check, but has worked for me. Useful in ME

[nickmow]

Yep F2 to desired Aircraft the Ralt + J jumps you in it. Works in ME fro sure

do I have to set them as client or player? if player, aircraft moves as AI. if client, only one can be seen by f2

[nickmow]

Instead of setting them as client try giving them a skill level. I wonder if you set them as client the game wont let you fly them ?

Go back to briefing (L_ALT+B), click "back" (bottom of the screen) and you can select another aircraft. AI will take over the one you were flying. But if you were one the ground in "unusual" place, AI may do do some stupid thing.

if you set them as client, you can still fly them in single mode.

I'm about 98.4% sure that setting an aircraft as client means it will only spawn if another player selects it as their own aircraft either at the start of the mission or in the briefing screen. If deselected in favor of a different aircraft, the previously chosen aircraft will disappear, I believe with explosive results.

No, the prev one will exist as well and perform as an AI.

Ah yes, I remember now you're right, thinking back to one of my wingmen trying to fly in a jet he didn't purchase and then switching back, we had some good AA practice in the 25T :lol: What was it that I'm thinking of that causes an explosion then?

in MP, if you switch airplane, the prev one exploded :).

if not purchase, what happened if he wanted to fly?
