how the scoring system in CLOD?

Wouldn't it be lovely if you got awarded less points for not landing after every sortie..
Like in original il2, pilots would be more incline to realistically land to rearm and gain maxim points rather than just bailing out for a fresh aircraft

I wish there was a way around the de-spawn script so that no points are awarded for a plane and pilot that return to friendly soil.

Yes, in real life nobody would have got credit for an aircraft that returned home and was given a few patches and sent up again.
Similarly you would have got credit for a plane that the pilot had bailed out of even if it kept flying.

I understand why we need to despawn but, being ignorant of what scripts can do, it does not sound difficult to award points for an aircraft that the pilot has abandoned mid-air. As a programmer I understand though that sometimes what looks easy to the layman can sometimes be almost impossible...and vice versa

That's exactly how we have the ATAG server setup. The difference is a plane that despawns on the ground (that has been shot up) still acts as points. Old IL2 did this as well. But many of the pieces for this type of scoring system don't work in the MP environment. We have to make due with what we have.
