Author	Topic: landing AI aircraft
Dean Pilot	posted 10-25- 08:05 PM What is the method when editing a mission, to get an AI aircraft to land? I have tried all sorts of methods, without any better than a sorry crash-landing. I was astounded when a Polikarpov ( AI ) made a perfect landing all by its self in a mission I'd just created , even lowering the under carriage and coming down on a runway! I had been chasing it for 15 minutes and noticed it slowing down and begin to make an approach to a runway ! I never planned it in the mission :-) I love the endless surprises in SDOE !! ------------------ IP: Logged
Bulldog2 Pilot	posted 10-26- 08:18 AM Set your last waypoint to 145mph and have the aircraft at around 1300-1500ft. Then place that waypoint over the airfield. This always works for me but I do believe it may not work with some aircraft in SDOE. IP: Logged
wil Pilot	posted 10-26- 08:47 AM Is the speed set in the waypoint perhaps related to the parameter found in OPS for aircraft landing speed? IP: Logged
Dean Pilot	posted 10-26- 06:17 PM Thanks Bulldog, I'll give that a try :-) ------------------ IP: Logged
BULLET Pilot	posted 10-27- 05:36 AM Bulldog's pretty much got it. Low and slow is the key. Remember to check the alt of the field. 1600 ft will put you in the side of a mountain if you're trying to land at Taunus. If AI takes off from a field then who ever's left will eventually return. If you start enroute put the last leg of your flight within approx. 1000/1500 ft of the field and 90% of the time AI will land eventually. I've got missions where the AI lands where ever it likes. You'll get the hang of it. IP: Logged
