Title: Offline drone altitude
Post by: Dichotomy on November 10, 2011, 11:58:57 AM
it'd be nice if we could change the altitude of the offline drones for high speed high angle practice.

+1

Also I'd like to be able to draw the flight path, just like for the CV.

Those are a lot harder to make.

Why didn't I think of that? Oh ya because I opened the mission editor once, fooled around with it for about 5 minutes, fell asleep, and was late for work the next morning ;)

When the Mission Editor is repaired, we can make an offline mission with planes of your choice, flying at various altitudes.  Am I understanding correctly that
you don't want the drones to fight back?

your time is far too valuable to waste on that stuff Coogin.  If it was something easy to do It'd be 'nice' if it took more than a few clicks everything is fine the way it is :D

Kind of you to say that sir.  It would be nice though, if there were an arena setting to control the offline drones altitude.  (the ones that just circle the bases)

I think I misunderstood, its alt AGL you want not ASL?

I like this one. As someone without a paying online account, who wants offline missions but can't figure out how the HELL to make it work... Basic stuff like this would be nice :) also-- if one could alter the flight path, one could stage a mock alert-- like this:

"Looks out the window of the tower. 'OH NOES!!! ENEMY BOMERZ!!!'

*hops into uber dogfighting B-17 (:D)*

Sorta like that. :)

yep RT... It'd be nice to set a flight of buffs up to about 20k, go to a base with an airstart, and practice diving into them at high speed / high AOA without worrying about smacking into the ground. 

As I said to Coogan if it takes more than a few clicks of code to do it then it's, more than likely, a waste of valuable time that could be better spent elsewhere in the game.  But it would be 'nice' nonetheless.

The proper term is MSL (Mean Sea Level).  ;)

Why would I tell you that, dunno-- haven't checked, and why does it matter?

actually its alt AMSL. and since we dont have the moon's gravitational pull modelled in AH, and therefore no swells or tides, MSL = SL anyway. :P

I'd be very happy if I could lower the altitude of the offline drones for wirble practice.  As it is I have no real idea how much to lead or how high to shoot and consequently all I'm doing in a wirble is putting on a really lame fireworks display for the red people to chuckle at.

For now you can select WWI drones, those fly lowers and slower.
