Idea to alternative to replace AWACS radar

[-gg-]

You know it would be really cool would be if AI could analyze the flight characteristics of past pilots. Like the best in the game and then duplicate them and have them be a i virtual pilots of the same model pilot. But people who have passed away or just the greatest that flew the game. That would be interesting. I know it couldn't do that unless you purposely had fed it films or data from these pilots, but that's just something that popped into my head.

You could fly against the best that ever flew the game. That would be interesting.

Does that mean AI pilots will make High Tech Creations the new Stark Industries?

I upload videos of my flying all the time and it critiques it. You should give it a shot. It’s pretty humbling and also extremely helpful.

AI could be made to analyze the actual data from the films probably. Like every input that was made exact speeds and settings of everything. It could really probably duplicate any pilot if it had enough data. Well maybe not duplicate but give a damn good simulation.

Who would like ai planes to instead of eny disabling planes?

I’d prefer that you answer simple questions and give clarity rather than change the subject.

The only thing I pay you for is to play with/and against human players. If I want to play against a machine, I’ll go buy and old Atari 2600. I don’t need you or AH for that. While AI might be cool for some additions for offshoot scenarios and random events, it doesn’t address the elephant in the room. Which is you don’t appear to do anything to recruit or retain players. Given the current numbers, your primary objective should be just that. One of the reasons the radar (or comms or spaghetti or whatever made up word you want to call it today) makes me so upset is that you actually ran players off with it. You could spend some time actually fixing it so it’s not so confusing but we get a timer instead. Presumably so you can play with Claude. If you fixed it properly, it’s entirely possible that a large group of players might return AND you wouldn’t upset the clipboard addicts so much.

instead we get crew chief?!?  AI ENY?!?  More features no one asked for and doesn’t fix the actual problem (lack of players). All I see is another way for players to game the game. While I understand the game involves many aspects, you seem intent on making the game harder for defense air combat with every new feature. “Crew chief. Do an Immelmann while I man the guns.” Or  “Crew chief. Dive to 413mph and do a 90 degree turn to the right while I waste this guy on my six.” Or “Crew chief. Do all the work in my name while I eat ice cream and watch.” Or “Everyone sit in the over for 20 minutes so we have a AI armada when we launch.” Someone needs to smack you up side the head and remind you that this game is a direct descendant of Air Warrior. Guess that has to be me. We need players!

Still…several pages since I asked specific questions and…nothing.

Will there be radar (or whatever made up word you want to call it today) parity between GVs and planes? Yes or No?

A lot of that post is disingenuous and a bunch of whining.

Go touch some grass.

Lilmak I love  you brother but, your taking to far to fast. Take some baby steps, take 1 issue at a time. Your acting like the co-worker that was right about 1 little issue and now is trying to tell everybody what to do. 

[Animl-AW]

Not everything is topping the list of things that should really be done right now, yesterday.

No matter the thread, it always evolves into making earth spin backwards. 1 lil give and here comes the Christmas list.

Let thing evolve as they should.

I’d like to see ducks put in a row so we can MAYBE move on to graphics, we need to appease noobs too. Not get bogged down on dead end forever debates. Let the guy do his thing.

Take a breath. We went for no updates to pretty much weekly updates.

An old saying in my biz, should apply to all biz
“Do you want it fast or right, your choice”.


It’s not a bad idea to go outside and cleanse the brain.

What an ungrateful response.

[hazmatt]

What an ungrateful response.

LOL. What happened to the customer is always right?

Lilmak I love  you brother but, your taking to far to fast. Take some baby steps, take 1 issue at a time. Your acting like the co-worker that was right about 1 little issue and now is trying to tell everybody what to do. 

I enjoy you too brother. But, I’ve spent several years asking for radar (or whatever I’m supposed to call it now) to be addressed. Including testing settings where you and I went to a private arena because Dale was in pseudo-retirement and couldn’t be bothered. Now we’re 14 pages into a AWACS thread (that I didn’t even start) where I’ve asked specific questions that would take maybe 60 seconds for any normal human to answer honestly and I get deflection and gaslighting. I’m not a co-worker. I’m a customer. One who actually loves the product and is upset that the latest version of the product seems to be drifting from what I’m paying for.

I have one issue. At this point I’m a joke because of it. I’ve asked basically two very specific questions directly of HT in this thread. He’s ignored or deflected both of them. Aside from that. I’ve told him we can have a conversation in person. Crickets. I’ve told him he can PM or email me in confidence. Nada. I’ve literally told him what would get me to shut up about the whole issue within this very thread. Nothing. He’s basically ignored me the whole time. But the second Gina brings up ENY, he’s throwing out AI as a solution like its full sized candy bars on Halloween.

Basically I feel like I ate in my favorite restaurant. This time the food marginal and the service has simply been atrocious. Meanwhile, the customers next to me are telling me I ordered the wrong dish and their service was just fine. Cool for you bro. The dish I ordered used to be exquisite and the service used to be fantastic.

Exactly what am I taking too far when all I want is direct answers to simple questions? How am I going too fast when I’ve been asking similar questions for years and being ignored?
