auto pilot waypoints
« on: April 12, 2018, 10:45:25 PM »
Would it be possible to have auto pilot way points? Kind of like we have for the task forces.

That would lessen the game experience for me a lot.

If we get autopilot waypoints, can we also get autopilot combat? I'd like to take off, set my autopilot, go watch a show, and come back to see my name in lights.

Should be viable for bombers.  Choose your targets, salvo and delays.  This sounds excellent.

I think the drone missions were a separate wish already. 

When will we get Cat IIIc Autoland?

Why not just create way points in New Mission under pickup missions and not invite anyone?

You know what the best part is though?  Whatever noise gets made after the initial wish is posted is essentially meaningless.  If HT likes the idea, he'll implement it.  If he doesn't, he won't.  What other people say pretty much doesn't mean a thing either way.

Im thinking just way points for bombers. This way we can either gun, get a beer, or recycle the beer as our big birds fly by the co pilot.... if we dont take over at the end waypoint he bird just goes along out of control.
