"The AI Has Crashed Your Plane Into The Ground"
« on: October 17, 2026, 08:47:34 PM »
WTF is this?  I don't disco often, but this has happened several times in a row. 
This time, I was in a zoom climb in a Ki-43 and hit x before losing connection.  Come right back in and get this message.  The kill was awarded to a M-4 that was smoking from a near miss with my first bomb and had zero chance to get me.

That's even worse.  I thought the AI was supposed to put your plane in level flight for 5 minutes, but the AI apparently works for Skynet.

It will, unless something happened to it (crash, shot down) before you returned.    You might have hit "x" too late (command was ignored as you were ctd-ing.)

I'm always right, it just takes some poepl longer to come to that realization than others.

Even if it did ignore me hitting auto level, should not the AI still put the plane in auto level?

I was back in under a minute and the tank was the only enemy around.  The only thing I can think of is that I still had one bomb left, but the Ki-43 is very stable with just one.

gravity works fairly quick; maybe it stalled out and lawndarted in.
