Aircraft crashing into nogova hillsides.

[bn880]

Hey,

I have noticed that A10 aircraft flying around Nogova usually crash in the northern sectors into the hills.
That's was the TS part.

I have tried various speed modes and formations and the pilots are at the highest skill.

Can anyone at least tell me how to make the AI fly higher? I doubt commandMove [x,x,200] will work. I know flyInHeight is for choppers.
That's the ME part.

Thanks

Don't rely on Resistance AI to do something right

You can plot your waypoints around the mountainous part of northern Nogova?

Well they are not entirely dumb, I try to make em go around, but it is not always possible. At some point I may need air support at or near the mountains (like Afghanistan), and they seem to pick the worst possible angles to climb them. this would not happen if they were at 300m.

Their terrain following is very poor, you should see Spectrum Holobytes Tornado... 200ft 600 knots no problem.

Damn, anyone else have suggestions?

If you need air support in mountains, choppers are better suited than planes.

Well but I use the aircraft cuz of Laser Targetting and LGB bombs.

Best thing in the air is something that flyes so high no defense works agains it....

I really should find a way to get these morons fly higher.

EDIT: oh and only at some point do I need them in the Mountains, usually not but still....

You can use the laser target with all weapons that lock on, not just LGB's.

And, do they crash the very first time they pass the hillside? Or is it after multiple times that they will crash?

[bn880]

They crash randomly into the hills (not always as they approach), seriously though, I want to get the A10's flying properly, not any other aircraft/chopper.

That's why I created the thread u c. I could have used choppers but it's not what I'm doing... there HAS to be a way to get aircraft to fly higher... they are suicidal in OFP, nobody in the right mind flies so low constantly.

Thanks for your suggestions. I'm looking for BIS to implement flyinheight for winged aircraft. That seems like the only reasonable and normal solution.

The AI pilots just aren't the brightest when it comes to avoiding hazards.

I played the "Return to Eden" mission the other night, and just as the two choppers were about done hammering the armor and remaining infantry after I took out the Shilka, those two clowns collided in mid-air.

I dont reley on AI at all except for chopper gunner "moving the 30mm Cannon around" and for tank gunning, "sometimes it taks them a full 60 seconds to load a sabot into an m1a1"

Other then that, AI you cannot depend on.

Even in campaign missions, I find myself killing the AI because there so stupid, just to get there weapons so i can place them in the right place or shoot at the right target. because they wont...

I tried using the laser desig and the LGB's i got the AI's to do it right and blow everything to hell "1nce"... out of 27 tries
