bn880 5 Posted July 29, 2002 Hey, I have noticed that A10 aircraft flying around Nogova usually crash in the northern sectors into the hills. That's was the TS part. I have tried various speed modes and formations and the pilots are at the highest skill. Can anyone at least tell me how to make the AI fly higher? I doubt commandMove [x,x,200] will work. I know flyInHeight is for choppers. That's the ME part. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Harnu 0 Posted July 29, 2002 Don't rely on Resistance AI to do something right You can plot your waypoints around the mountainous part of northern Nogova? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bn880 5 Posted July 29, 2002 Well they are not entirely dumb, I try to make em go around, but it is not always possible. At some point I may need air support at or near the mountains (like Afghanistan), and they seem to pick the worst possible angles to climb them. this would not happen if they were at 300m. Their terrain following is very poor, you should see Spectrum Holobytes Tornado... 200ft 600 knots no problem. Damn, anyone else have suggestions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Harnu 0 Posted July 30, 2002 If you need air support in mountains, choppers are better suited than planes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bn880 5 Posted July 30, 2002 Well but I use the aircraft cuz of Laser Targetting and LGB bombs. Best thing in the air is something that flyes so high no defense works agains it.... I really should find a way to get these morons fly higher. EDIT: oh and only at some point do I need them in the Mountains, usually not but still.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Harnu 0 Posted July 30, 2002 You can use the laser target with all weapons that lock on, not just LGB's. And, do they crash the very first time they pass the hillside? Or is it after multiple times that they will crash? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bn880 5 Posted July 30, 2002 They crash randomly into the hills (not always as they approach), seriously though, I want to get the A10's flying properly, not any other aircraft/chopper. That's why I created the thread u c. I could have used choppers but it's not what I'm doing... there HAS to be a way to get aircraft to fly higher... they are suicidal in OFP, nobody in the right mind flies so low constantly. Thanks for your suggestions. I'm looking for BIS to implement flyinheight for winged aircraft. That seems like the only reasonable and normal solution.

Mister Frag 0 Posted July 30, 2002 The AI pilots just aren't the brightest when it comes to avoiding hazards. I played the "Return to Eden" mission the other night, and just as the two choppers were about done hammering the armor and remaining infantry after I took out the Shilka, those two clowns collided in mid-air.

Deus Ex 0 Posted July 30, 2002 I dont reley on AI at all except for chopper gunner "moving the 30mm Cannon around" and for tank gunning, "sometimes it taks them a full 60 seconds to load a sabot into an m1a1" Other then that, AI you cannot depend on. Even in campaign missions, I find myself killing the AI because there so stupid, just to get there weapons so i can place them in the right place or shoot at the right target. because they wont... I tried using the laser desig and the LGB's i got the AI's to do it right and blow everything to hell "1nce"... out of 27 tries Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
