Looney Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Basically not. Either you fly a plane or command / drive a tank, the game wasn't made to do both on the fly.

Tiramisu Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 (edited) So it is not possible to lase a target myself and then go back in my aircraft in order to bomb it? I hoped that your aircraft would fly straight or get AI controlled while you are in a ground vehicle. It would be very disappointing for me, if you cannot play in the flight sim, commander sim and first person shooter during a single mission.

Tiramisu Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 (edited) Just bought CA. Actually you can start as a pilot, drive a vehicle and then get back to your aircraft again. It justs takes a few seconds until your aircraft model is loaded again, when you switch back. And also small loading bugs seems to occur, but I think I will have some fun with this DLC. Edit: However, there is a very annoying issue. Even though I can set waypoints for normal AI aircraft, I cannot do it for my own aircraft after AI took control over it. I think the AI of my plane simply tries to land on the nearest airbase. Is that a known bug? Do we have a workaround for this? Edit2: Ok, now the workaround is simply that you use the player slot for a fake aircraft in the mission editor, which is not supposed to be used, so you can actually deactivate it with a trigger a few seconds after mission start. When the mission starts you simply use the "jump into other aircraft"-button (RALT+J) to fly another selected AI aircraft, if you own it in DCS. That aircraft will be always controllable with waypoints, because it started the mission as a normal AI unit. Still I hope ED is going to fix this bug, so I do not have to use such an awkward workaround. :( Edited April 18, 2019 by Tiramisu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kang Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Awkward is Combined Arms' middle name. Either way I don't think you can lase your own bombs, as the laser switches off if you just look at the map for example. Either way having AI JTAC is probably much much easier.
