I had added this question to the end of a post I had made and just realized I probably should have made it a separate post......
Did the age old 'AI landing on an aircraft carrier' problem ever get figured out?
Years ago I could get AI to start, takeoff and land on a carrier, even moving carriers, but I could never get them to stop after landing before rolling off the deck. I know it's possible because I saw it with my own eyes. I was messing around one day with the Mission Builder and had AI taking off and landing on a static carrier. I would mess around with different aircraft settings and try again to get the AI to land and stop. I had spent several hours watching plane after plane land, slow down (never saw an AI catch a wire either) to almost a stop and then suddenly turn (usually to the right or starboard) and just roll off the deck near the bow. Then out of the blue a stock Wildcat as AI took off, landed, slowed down and stopped! what?!! I tried to get it to do it again but it never would :( Just a fluke I guess.
Anyway, after all these years 'if' it could be done, and repeated, I would think one of the guru's would have figured it by now. I always thought if I knew how to get the AI to have a working tail hook I might have been able to get them to catch a wire. Just thought I'd ask while I was here, thanks.
