Full Real and flying together on a Server? Impossible!

[Laszlo]

Hello,

i hope my german-english is a bit understandable.

Luthier in one your last posts, you tell us that the multiplayer has a high priority.
I found a problem that must be fixed in one of your next patches / fixes.

If you fly on a full real server, you cant fly with friends together a bomber because you dont see the plane symbol on the map. The feature to fly together in a plane is one of the best for me because one of my friend loves to control the bombsight and gunners but dont like to fly.
At the moment we cannot fly on really full real server.

Here a small idea: if you click on a base, you see the groundet bombers in a list on the top right and can jump into it.
Or make the symbols for every groundet plane (which stand on base) visible on full real.

I've read that even if planes are not visible they are still clickable on the map.

I guess if you move mouse cursor around the place where your friend spawned an AC you will see a pop-up with aircraft name you can click on.

I can get in an AI controlled AC on a FR server this way.

We tried this, but dont found anything.
Is this a nice Solution ? Search a invisible plane on the base and hope that you find him?

If you want a solution report the issue in appropriate threads.

You do not expect luthier reading all the posts on this forums don't you?

I can confirm this works, but clearly it's not ideal. Hopefully a solution can be found that can maintain the server's preferred realism settings, whilst not requiring you to blindly click around the map in the vain hope of stumbling across your friend's plane!

This method works but usually one of us is the server, we haven't tested on both being clients, the server guy gets on a plane then the other guy CREATES a plane and after that he can go back to map (Hit ESC) and click on friends plane and join him. We did that to fly He111 as bomber/gunner crew.

Also with this method you can start coop style missions also. After you start the mission the "server" jumps in the leader of the flight you have created, so none of the AIs will fly away, the client guys CREATE any plane and then back to map and choose AI plane of the grp :)

We use Volkers method too.
