Evening all...

I've decided to try mission/campaign building...

Welcome to the addiction ...er...I mean club Man 8)

I am not quite sure but I think there is no way of controling the way AI use there landing gear.
I have been wrong before many times though lol

It is quite amazing what is available here at AAA...
I do not know myself for sure if there is a Mod or one in the works for this kind of thing.

The other setting is ground attack that was on top of your head where you couldn't see it :wink:

They only drop there gear once there in the pattern for a full stop landing.

I have experimented with touch and goes,and although I can simulate them I could never get them to drop there gear and retract.Experimentation on waypoints with landing maybe might put you in the ball park for a taxing aircraft with an invisable ship runway used to land the AI aircraft.Put the ship runway on the taxi-way so the AI aircraft lands along side of you at the other end maybe kinda a thing.Waypoints right there to land now!!! pronto though or something lol,
the ships runways are under ships in the object box,there like placing runways although there a little thick some of them and other things to be aware of.There is one invisable one that might work for you.

but in order to get the "I'm going down" you would need someone to have to be getting shot down at that precise time in the background somewhere.Then what about those guys in the back ground

It's a tough one to ponder for the FMB...
I know taxing aircraft has been brought up before as I have read on it,but I seem to think it was all related to Players Taxiing not the AI.Or maybe it was both lol

I thought I would say welcome to the FMB and offer you a link on mission building,
I don't know if you have ever been to Flying Nutcase's website or not...

It is one of the most informative mission building sites on the Net IMHO
