IL2Coop: A co-op lobby for IL-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover

[41Sqn_Banks]

I tested today and found some strange behavior after the players were moved into the mission aircraft, e.g.:
- Host: Prop pitch and Radiator didn't work until I activated the autopilot for a second
- Client: Autopilot was enabled initialy, if deactivated the engine couldn't be started (oil and water temp. was at 0°C, not ambient temp)

Can anyone confirm this? Or even better has someone an idea to solve this?

@Tigertooo: Not much public online flying in the last weeks. The launcher crash is really annoying ... hopefully after the next patch I'll be at ATAG or III/JG27 more frequently.

I compared my code with that of Navyr and I assume the reason for the mentioned problems is that I call the Player.Place() method in the OnActorCreated method, which could be to early.

I will delay it by some seconds to see if it helps.

I remember there was a bug in naryv's script. Either a player could not take control if joined in progress, or AI did not take control is player ALT-F2 from the aircraft or a player could not take control after re-enter the aircraft again after ALT-F2. The bug depended on whether autopilot or plane switching was enabled in difficulty settings. Sorry, do not remember more precisely. I think naryv said that autopilot must be disabled on the server to fix it.

Thank you, that sound reasonable. I had autopilot enabled, not sure about plane switch. I will test with autopilot disabled and report back.

IIRC

You needed Auto enable with that script.

Awesome work!
I´m going to test this scrip and also the mission loader script in our server for coop missions.
Keep it coming!
