Blackhawk(s) Down

[grgcombs 0]

I'm recreating the book/movie Blackhawk Down and I've got some issues.

It calls for a large volume of blackhawks and "little-birds" to fly around pounding lead into bad guys. This is easy.

The problems come in when several helis are flying around and decide to fly through each other. Fireballs in the sky look cool, but they don't fit.

Is there a patch or a formation that forces these helis to give each other the right of way, and be more cautious of other flying objects?

Also, I'm assuming there's no way to get a waypoint to specify that AI teams should go up the stairs and down the stairs in a building ... They seem to linger on the bottom floor...

I'd love to see a patch for creating the "little-birds" with benches on the sides for spec-ops teams to ride on ... I think they call them MH-6's ...

This happens to me all the time. Unfortunatly there is no mod to prevent it. The best thing to do is adjust the waypoints so that they are fairly spaced from each other.

Another Blackhawk down Mission? You guys should wait until there are middle eastern building and skin types.

I haven't tried yet, and i can't to it right now, cause

i'm at work, but what kind of behaviour you are

using for the flying choppers (maybe careless) -

try aware or combat (maybe they avoid of crashing

together)

K6 -> There's already someone doing this? Do you know who/where? I'd love to see it. Only reason why I'm doing it is because it souds like #### to play. If it's already been done, screw it, I'll play theres

DV Chris -> I'm using Combat. The only difference is that they fly lower and slower into the scene. Doesn't seem to make a difference on midair collisions.

It's so stupid, why can't highly skilled pilots fly in formation (or not) without bumping into each other?

Just as a thought, Could you not set their flyinheight to different altitudes?

That is what I have had to do in order to get four helos to fly in formation fairly close together. Also I set each helo its own set of way points rather than them all bunching up together and also set their speed to limited. When the try to decrease speed at limited mode they dont tend to increase altitude in order to slow down.

Just some ideas

I saw some BHD Missions on Opflashpoint.de or something..a german site. Tried one and it was bulls**t. The Helicopter AI is so buggy in this game that you really made yourself a huge quest. I made one mission where you were flown in a BH and two cobra gunships to a LZ. I had to try for days which formation was the best and still then they somtimes crashed.

I would love to play a BHD mission but I love it the real way and not in european enviroment.
