Planes set to low fuel (EG 2% or so) should show the "land under any circumstances" behaviour. So Pursuivants demands could be archieved and simultanuously they dont loiter around until crash when you wait near the runway to start your Mission. I tried this on several occasions at the start of a mission, but you need a large airfield to force land AI planes. Otherwise they crash when at least ran out fuel.

Hmmm

Im sure Im amongst many mission builders that over the years have had missions ruined by changes made to ai behaviour.

would it not be possible to make the changes selectable rather than global to keep the mission builders intentions?

thanks

I am not sure if it was mentioned, but when I create a quick mission (for example: two planes vs two) and when my group defeat the enemy group, my AI friend has got a strange behaviour. Instead of getting back home with me, the 'AI friend' seems to consider me as his enemy (AI is getting away from me doing some strange aerobatic maneuvers). But I have never noticed the friend AI shooting me, just getting away. Greetings

I'll take a guess as to what is happening to you. If YOU are the lead in a 2-plane flight and YOU try and follow your wingman, it will look like he wants to get away from you. In fact, he DOES want to get away from you so he can get behind you (as he was programmed).

I'm sure that is what you are experiencing. Otherwise, I have never seen what you have described.

Thank you for the answer. You might be right and thank's for the explanation!

What happens if you order him "TAB-1-8-2" to get back in formation and to follow you leading back home or "TAB-2-9-3" back to home base and follow him back to home base?
