Title: Drones in Offline
Post by: DmdNexus on May 26, 2001, 10:08:00 AM

Any way to change the altitude and pattern of the drones in offline play?

Would love to lower the altitude so I could practice GV gunnery.

Also would like to change the pattern and speed a bit to practice various gunnery techniques.

i.e. a tighter turning drone to practice high-G rear quarter shots.

Thanks,

Nexus

I agree and somekind of ".alt", where you can set your starting alt instead of climbing.

Imagine offline flying some maneuvers yourself... barrel rolls, immelmans, split ess... while "recording".  Then Aces High plays back your moves, only it lets you fly in your film to shoot at your "drone" doing it's maneuvers.  You could set up more challenging shots than the constantly circling drone.

Test Drive? NFS was pretty much a copy of it.

I'm thinking something simple - so that it has a chance of getting done.

Like a text file that specifies the center point, radius, altitude and speed. That's it.

If HiTech want's to get fancy, then perhaps it could be a text file of 3D co-ords and with speed. This would allow any folks to program any drone flight path they like.

Not looking for something complex - was just looking to target practice in GVs (i.e. Ostie)
