AI planes too slow
« on: December 20, 2010, 09:14:42 AM »
How do I get the AI planes to go the correct speed?    :headscratch:
No matter how many times I try to adjust aircraft speeds, the AI planes go slower than the mission calls for.

I'll take the lack of a reply to mean it's impossible or nobody knows.

The rate of climb in your mission segments might be too much for the a/c to realistically achieve at the speed that was input.  Just guessing.

It doesn't matter how slow I made it or how gradual of a climb, they still can't keep up.
I've set it so slow I thought the AI planes would fall out of the sky, they still can't keep up.

The mission I created is for B-17s climbing at normal power.  The player controlled plane worked perfectly on auto climb and auto level.
That's when I started to slow them down, but no luck.
I guess I just don't now how to use the ME.

I've updated to 2.22 so I'll have to wait for the new ME to do more experimenting.

This has been getting worse with recent versions. Old missions (written for version 2.12.4) that work perfectly in this regard suffer as you've described. I think it's a bug, either in the Mission Editor, or in the run-time client logic.
