hey, i have some questions about the SDK, i know that microbrewst knows stuff about the SDK, if anyone else does and want to help, it also would be cool
great thing you can add ai trafic, position 'em, etc, but i noticed a few things
1. i added 4 planes in a formation, same altitude, same heading, and i noticed that after some time they'll get kinda loose, slightly changing the heading and breaking the formation. wich sucks, because i wanted to make an AI squad flying in formation, but i couldnt... is it possible to make em fly straight in formation?
2. i positioned some f-18s by my side on the ground, to do what micro said, to make em all open the canopy, sending key events, and it works, but after that, i tried to make em fold the wings, and this key event doesnt work, neither the tailhook event, in fact the only animations that worked are the control surfaces and the canopy. is there a way to make the traffic animate other stuff?
3. i was trying to simulate inflight refuel, so i added a kc-130 as ai traffic, aligned with it, extended my refueling probe, and started to look for it's key event to expand his refueling drogues, but theres no such thing, so after some time i find out that some animations (most of the custom animations like the refuel drogues) are scripted, and not key events, is it possible to make AI traffic perform scripts?
4. last one: after being unsuccessful on everything i wanted to do because of (what i think to be) game limitations (again), i tried to make the opposite, control the kc-130 and add an f-18, but either i couldnt find the key event to extend the refueling probe of the hornet, and also, the hornet passed me by as soon as i positioned him. is it possible to control added AI traffic 's speed?
thanks people
