Have these pilots had too much schnapps?
 

On several single missions that involve relatively large numbers of German bommbers ( mostnotable 'Large London raid and its various versions, but in some Stuka missions as well..) the AI bombers are all over the place in an improbably drunken aerial ballet of sorts instead of staying in formation.They eventually tuck it all up briefly then go a bit crazy again.Very irritating while trying to blitz a picturesque English harbor or town.Any ideas?

set discipline to very high!

I know where to find mission data folders of course but finding 'Discipline ' setting is aluding me. can you help?

open the mission in the FMB and adjust it in the KI-Parameters. I actually only know that this setting exists, but have no idea where it is... Maybe you could ask the Mission-builders in the ATAG-Forum or have a look at this forums archive...

Open a mission in the ME. Choose the plane or group of planes you want to alter the AI by selecting one of the way-points on the map.

Select VIEW on the top bar above the map and choose OBJECT BROWSER. The Browser Window will appear with multiple tabs along the tops. Choose the GROUP PROPERTIES. About 2/3rds of the way down the list on the Group Properties Tab is a drop down menu option for SKILL. Toggle the drop down arrow to change SKILL properties from Rookie, Average, Veteran, Ace, Custom. Choosing CUSTOM will cause a pop up window to appear, where you can change all the parameters such as: Basic Flying, Awareness, Gunnery, Tactics, Vision, Bravery, Discipline.

Thanks Robert I tried to edit in the FMB "missions" yesterday but didn't have a clue as to what to do, so no joy but I believe your tips here will help fix the problems...I hope!

Hopefully that does the trick for you, James.

robert - am in the process of changing the afore mentioned missions,but thanks to you I have the general idea.What has been an eye-opener to me is finding these settings & the depth of detail one can pack into building a mission,nevermind a campaign-its staggering.No wonder there hasn't been the number of "builds" one finds in the old Il-2.One really has to plan indepth to produce involving results !
