F/A-18 Loadouts

In my online server we have done 2x4 ships with 6 min take off intervals. They don’t spawn in deck until about T-4 mins or just before you jump in the pit, so 1st flight can get off the flight line and queue up behind the cat, allowing the next flight to spawn. If you’re REALLY good as a squadron you might be able to get 10-12 planes using this method but be careful and back up your logbook when experimenting as you may find yourself randomly exploding

THAT ROCKS!!! Thanks guys!!!

OK….1 more question. Is there a way I can set the boats heading?

For my own edification and partly prompted by the OP, I joined as the last AC in the last flight to observe the spawn, taxi and TO behaviour in the above mentioned TE. AI is VERY well behaved in such close quarters (nice job devs!!). Flights were scheduled with about 2:30 between TO times. First two flights spawned just a few minutes before scheduled TO.

I wonder what goes flying off the left side of the ship at 1:22??

Haha. That’s my little ‘parachute mouse cursor guy’ …. I had Alt-Tabbed out to start FRAPs and got ‘parachute man’.

Have you tried altering the taxi time.
set g_nTaxiLaunchTime 4 // Time before TOT to launch to TAXI (in min) set g_nReagTimer 2 // AB A/C despawn-> delay before disappearing (in min) set g_nDeagTimer 2 // AB A/C spawn-> lead time before taxiing (in min)

No we hadn’t, is this a server-side setting or does everyone need to alter this?
-
I’m no MP expert but I think all settings are transferred from the server.

Looks great. Especially when AI were trying to avoid collision.
