Hi all. Great MP mission. My buddy and I have been enjoying it. I've only played it with just him and I. One question. When my buddy traps and crashes, he only seems able to rejoin as observer. He can get in a jet, but I can't see him anymore. Is this just the way it is, or have I missed something in setup or what? Maybe the deal is....don't crash eh? Lol! Thanks pilots!
Nope, you haven't missed anything, it's just the way multiplayer missions work. They were originally designed for racing, and with that in mind, it's logical because you wouldn't want players to get behind if they join late. All I've done is just used the mission as a loophole to get proper AI into a multiplayer session.
And yes, it would help if you don't crash
. Or at least turn crash detection off in the session
.
EDIT: Oh, by the way, is anyone interested in an adaption of this mission for that Nimitz carrier that was released a while back? I was considering contacting the author regarding that, but don't know if anyone would be interested in using it in multiplayer.
