Making a plane land

Recommended Posts

I wish to know how to learn how to make an AI plane land on a landing strip. I have tried all sorts of stuff but I can't seem to get it to work. Anybody know how to do this? If you do, just let me know...

sure get the plane to slowly goto limited speed and make a get out wp at the end of the air field so that they land and get out.

This doesn't seem to work. The plane slows down but it just keeps flying straight and doesn't land. Anybody else know how to do this?

Somebody on the OFP Ed Center said this:

heres what you do:

*put a move wp near the airstrip. (ahead of it, so the plane will be aligned for the approach)

*in that wp, put this on the ON ACTIVATION box:

planename land "land"

*that shall make the plane land... then you can give him more waypoints by doing this:

**put a trigger like this:

TYPE: switch

CONDITION: planename ready

**after the MOVE wp you created, put a GETOUT waypoint.

it'll be reactivated by the trigger (after some types of commands, the unit stops following wp's...untill you do this)

**then simply keep giving wp's 2 your guyz...

hope this has helped

I tried this and it still didn't work. This seems so simple but I can't seem to get it to work for some odd reason. What I have tried over and over again is this:

I have the plane lined up with the runway (Malden) about 1 or 2 km away. There is a waypoint in between the Get Out waypoint and where I start that sets the speed to limited. I have the plane moving North which means it is coming from the South side of the runway to land. The Get Out waypoint is at the very end of the runway. The plane just keeps on flying straight or will turn to the right. What am I doing wrong? Please somebody let me know... I feel stupid sad.gif

Ok. It turns out it did work. I just didn't have enouch patience to wait for it to turn around and then circle back and then land. As long as he lands I am ok with it smile.gif
