Bandy: look into the opposing flight odds and max opposing flights. Opposing flights are flights designed to intersect with your flight. Flights that are not opposing flights are more random. Opposing flights are there to increase (greatly) the odds of an encounter.

In my ideal world I do not have to worry about opposing flights or number of flights. I just schedule every squadron and let them fly. Such an environment would produce almost "you are there" results. No two flights would ever be the same. Unfortunately RoF cannot handle such a thing.

Thirteen years ago RB3D did handle just that. It did it by making other flights work on simplified processing (they were just moved along their way points) and they only spawned when close. In this manner many flights could be in the air but each used only nanoseconds of CPU time until they actually interacted with the player. I sincerely hope that RoF takes a similar approach in the future.

Apologies for the abundant posts.
