I know you guys have a fix coming in 1.3 so I'm wondering if this will arrive sometime soon.

I've been experiencing a lot of wingmen colliding with my aircraft in regular en route flight. It's become so frequent that I'm thinking of shelving the game until the patch is out. I don't want to do that, because it's very fun, so is there any current game settings I can change to cut down on the wind that is causing such problems? Would changing the weather from Historical to Random help any?

My last 3 of 4 missions resulted in one of my buddies running into me while on Autopilot - it's getting discouraging. frown



EDIT: Also, could we possibly get a Workshop option for keeping the "Air Start" option always checked? Or is one already there and I've not seen it?

Collisions in WW1 happend all the time but - are they running into you or are you straying and running into them?

Many Beta testers have tested and this has not been reported as a persistant every mission issue..we are aware that in high winds the AI are swaying so that can increase your chances of collisions and this is addressed in 1.3 - but 1.3 wont address your flying skills.

If you feel you need to shelve the game, as we are only producing a patch say every 24hours and getting little sleep, then you have that option.

They are running into me while I'm on Autopilot. I'm pretty sure it's the wind issue with the AI pilots straying off to one side. Usually they overcorrect the other way, but sometimes one of them just keeps sliding all the way over into me.

I'm not trying to be nasty, here. I know you guys are working hard on things right now. Maybe it's just a bad stretch of luck lately but it has been happening on a majority of my recent mission in Autumn '17 lately.

I posted this thread in the hopes that a simple setting change may lessen the issue while playing v1.2. Would a change of season, year, or switching to Randomized weather help in the meantime?

Also try another formation type, (see loadouts), or in QC you can select new formation. Try different weather (you can switch from historical to AI generated for example)..

Thanks.

I just noticed the option for "No Wind" in the Workshop. Just what I needed!

First mission without Wind put a check on the erratic AI formation flying so it should help quite a bit. beercheers


Edit: I didn't realize we could adjust each mission's formation. I'll have to check that out!
