Ideas for future implementation in FSCAI

[xpel]

1. For "campaign" flying, could we have a count of planes types that we & enemy loose at each sortie, until one Team runs out of planes ?...

For example, we could declare in Team's file, the initial number of each plane type available at start of a campaign and each time an AI is destroyed, this number 
is reduced until 0 ("this plane unavailable"...). Player/rs would give extra attention to their AIs... This feature ("a campaign mechanism") combined with 
FSX@War campaign mechanism (preservation of theater status in subsequent sorties) would result in two campaign mechanisms for FS mil. flying.

2. When a AI plane is disabled during dogfight, could we have a pilot with parachute "jumping" off the plane ?... (not really needed, just for the eye candy...)

I have plans for the parachuting crew member(s). We already can drop parachutists in air drop type missions, shouldn't be too hard to get pilots to bail out/eject.

The "Campaign" part of FSCAI missions records each loss by either side and won't re-spawn that object the next time the mission is run. That's all the campaign we have right now, and I'm not sure that's working right as I haven't tested it. Ideas welcome!

Could it be possible to have AI back-seaters and gunners attached to non-AI vehicles?
For instance, if I was flying a UH-1D, could the AI door gunner engage targets? Or, if I was flying an OV-10 could the AI back-seater call out AAA firing at the airplane....or call out the location of an incoming surface to air missile?

[Dutch Owen]

You can define special weapons that simulate the gunners - I do that with bombers that have turrets or rear-facing guns. Can't call out a missile though.

hi,


is it possible to add more aircrafts profile in config files? French airplanes for example (mirage 2000, rafale etc with their weapons profiles?).

Sure, you can do that yourself with the UI in FSCAI. Click on "Show Vehicles Database", then double-click on an entry similar to the new entry you want to make, type your changes into the dialog box, then click on "Add New Vehicle". Add as many as your want. If you send me your modified "Vehicles.cfg" from the Config_USER folder I'll make your new airplanes a part of the standard distribution.
