How do you turn off the drones in offline training.
« on: April 28, 2011, 01:45:25 AM »
Drones are fun, but I don't want them around all of the time offline and I was looking for a way to turn them off.  I used to just go start a private multiplayer LAN match, but that feature was removed many versions ago.  LAN support is gone, so now you just have offline training.

So, after futile attempts to figure this out, can it even be done?

After ending an offline mission the drones are usually gone. So you don't actually gave to do the mission, just start it and bail out.

Actually, I just found something I never knew we had.  I went into Options-Arena Setup and found a new menu called Offline Drones.  You can set what each of the 6 drones will be.

I turned the aircraft into Guns/Field option, and they went away.  I suppose I could also have set them to tanks, but after I tried that I found one of them was sitting on a runway.

Either way I am happy they're gone, but more happy we have that menu option now.  I don't remember that ever being added.

But I am used to an old version from 2 years ago when there was a LAN option to play as well (I quit a version or two later after that feature was removed).

I would like to point out that "we have had that option for a while now" didn't actually help me that much, but I guess you thought it would?

2 years? Think it was more like 5.
