4.12.2 de-bugging

The Spotter plane waypoints are in almost a straight line across the enemy tanks, the U2v triggers the friendly artillery then it circles the target with fluttering elevators waggling its wings getting lower and lower.

The waypoint contains no information to make the U2v behave this way as it should simply fly over the target to the next waypoint.

Or am I missing something here ?

What you expect from artillery spotter? In attached mission AS triggers the artillery when its next WayPoint is AS. After that it circles around AS WP for the time set in mission. When that time is run out, spotter goes to next WP.

I kinda meant the AI behavior with elevators flapping away and erratic flying.

Then...........

I looked at the wp for sp saw cycles =0 but timer =5

Whats cycles, is that the amount of times the spotter sees the target before reporting it ?

No, it's number of circles it'll do around the waypoint like in patrol WP (add 1 to it, so if you have 0, it's 1 circle, 1 is 2 and so on)

Did anybody else notice, that if you fix an enemy plane (F4 padlock on/off), you receive a message from a wingman. This happens not every time you press F4 or the assigned joystick button - but often. Especially when you are close to the enemy plane. Strange.

Well, you have a point that flying is somewhat erratic, I tried to avoid writing additional code but I can do that for next patch to make it look nicer.

Cycles are irrelevant, timer sets how long will spotter circle around.
