Plane altitude in config.cpp?

[miles teg 1]

Recently I've been trying my hand tinkering around with the jp233 section of the G8 Tornado addon trying in vain to get the AI to use it properly. The good news is that I have gotten the AI to use the JP233 very nicely. The bad news is that even with the damage range set very low (hit=100;indirectHit=50;indirectHitRange=5, The AI keep killing themselves because they dive in really low when they do the JP233 attacks. Is there any way to get the AI to keep from swooping so low? In other words is there any way in the CPP file of the addon to force the plane to fly at a higher altitude. I've already tried the "this flyinheight 200" script in the plane's init box on the mission editor, but that doesn't do a thing in OFP version 1.75.

I can lower the damage levels even more but if I lower them anymore or if I lower the indirecthitrange setting further, then they do hardly any damage to the targets on the ground.

So I've decided that the problem seems to be simply that the Tornado AI pilots just fly too damn low! LOL! Yes Yes I know they do that in real life, and while it looks spectacular when they fly that low, it's less then spectacular when they keep blowing themselves up.

Does anyone have any advice to get them to fly higher. I don't think that the Su-25 pilots ever attack at altitudes that low and only rarely have I ever seen the A10 pilots fly like that. Either that or is there any way to make the bomblets fall any slower without blowing up the plane as it maneuvers or dives?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

yea this is a problem, maybe bis will make a patch for this so we can change the height. and also make the bombs fall faster! im flying at 50 meters high and drop a lgb and it takes forever to hit the ground!

Not you again, snoopy

Well anyway, I would look at the A10 LGB's config... it doesnt seem to 'swoop down' as much

Yeah I'll take a look at that...the problem is that I have no idea who to change on it which is why I was hoping someone involved with the Tornado like Colorchanger would maybe speak up about how they got the plane to fly so low in the first place. I guess I can just message him if nobody else knows how to modify this. I'm also intersted in the height setting because for future addons like for bombers, ect... It's gonna look kinda lame having them flying at low altitudes when they are high alititude aircraft.

I can understand how it might be difficult to make the aircraft fly lower, but I hope that at least BIS makes a patch that allows them to fly higher. That shouldn't be that difficult for them to do.

Actually, I don't mind if some air vehicles fly low. But by that I just mean the hueys, etc. I'm not that good at config.cpp editing so I would try asking the OFPEC peoples, but they take forever to respond... so it might as well be faster just IMing him
