I don't think so. Who ever made the custom arena is the CM and should be able to do it.
Ah, I hope you're right!

The SEA and custom arena's will be capable...I'm hoping HTC extends this into the AvA as it's closely tied to the SEA.

  I have a sneaking suspision this will happen,you have CM prives and it takes a CM to make it happen. The only place I dont see it is the mains,unless Hitech and company deciede to treat us to something special,like at Xmas etc.

  I hope the trainers will be able to use this feature,would be nice to setup some AI drones to help new players.

So it would be possible to have a missions where most bombers are flown by AI in a scenario.

Since AI is now available we also have added a reconnect ability.
If you disco, an AI will fly your plane for a period of time until you return or the time runs out.
:cheers: Best news I have read in a while. :) This is really going to open things up for Special Events!   :aok

Now that we have been delightfuly surprised and warned of the new GPU demanding eyecandy. How many of you will sign up with the "Cut HiTech and Pyro some Slack Club" when those reflections eat our FPS during regular game play?

Climber,

We are circling a reflective plastic canopy that has never existed in Aces High before now. Go offline and pull up a fighter on the runway. Turn on all the graphics bells and whistles if you have them shut off to improve your FPS online. F3 and look at the canopy from different directions. No shiney glossy sheens and mirror like object reflections.

Wonder what it will be like to up into a 40 plane hoard base take with everything turned on after the next release?

Stutter, stutter, HuH, stutter, HuH, dern where'd that come from, stutter, freeze, stutter, freeze, tower...HuH what??

Yes, Bustr is right.  Anyone who bought a computer in the last year or upgraded will think they can run everything maxed out, and then complain about how terrible the coad is.  What they don't know that I have discovered, is that I can keep my graphics and eye candy limited while in game, film my flight and turn the eye candy on later before I enter filmviewer.

I get the best of both worlds.  :aok

And even though I was pointed to this thread to read about the possibility of AI entering the Custom Arenas, the reflection of the #2 engine was the first thing that caught my eye.  The new glass reflections are even more exciting.  I am expecting this to also include reflective surfaces on the planes which already have mirrors in place?????

Nice work folks!! See even FiFi was curious to take a peek.

hitech: quetion for you - if you join the SEA/AvA and a mission is up, can you join in and take over the spot of an AI pilot?

Correct.

Great! :aok

The current custom arenas are limited to 16 players, with the AI will it still be 16 max (human or AI) or 16 players plus AI?

Logic would be 16 players, limitless AI.  If you're in the SEA or AvA, sky's the limit.

So does this mean AI fighters to practice against?    Did you map top pilot's fighting styles to create real challenges?  Did my earlier wish come true? :x

It means a lot of things. But we also need to temper the gameplay of scripted AI flights so that people can actually engage them.  Nothing causes slide shows better than a swarm of buffs on older PC's.

Of course, it could give you an excuse to show the supreme being (wifie) that your PC is outdated and needs  we hardware. :D
