nice to see you on the forum as well!
man i would love to be your crash test dummy!
my main aim is, to make that work for a coop mission, but it would be fine for offline use as well first!

regarding the submissions.....
i would like to introduce some random life on ground in my mission, which generates flights out of a pool of submissions as well...
my problem is mainly, that if i just put ground vehicles into my submissions, the longer the mission runs, the more vehicles will be on the ground, that in the end they are that many, that its not playable anymore because of performance decrease...
have a look, this is my script.....right now, there are no moving ground object placed in the submissions, only in the main mission template, there are static objects, and a few ships(its the ACG map template)....

ps: to be honest, that is not my script,actually every single line was written by Kodiak(thx again)

Well, LiveMap deals with resource housekeeping and makes sure the same sub mission doesn't get loaded when already running. As you (or any pilot in the online context) flies into a "region" LiveMap looks for a sub mission linied to that same region, using simple naming rules. As the sub mission loads and runs all actors are tracked and as they time out (configurable, default is ten minutes if I remember it correctly) they'll get destroyed, yes, even if they haven't reached their final destination.

There's certainly room for improvement, especially in making the "life" appear more random, but my tests show they work quite fine.

I don't think it's all that much code that needs to be modified to make it work on a server in the online context but I need to clean away the "dust" and get back into the code. I'll give it a look this week and send you my private e-mail so we can link up.
