One of the limitations to coop seems to be you can't spawn into another play once mission starts.  Kinda of sad.  With that said I would like to allow others to camera follow those in their unit if and when they die to watch the action.  Has anyone pulled this off?  Is it possible?

Thats not a limitation, thats the way coops work.  If you want to re-spawn there are dogfight servers for that.

 

If you want to spectate after biting the dust then the host has to have 'allow spectators' checked in his custom options.  Be aware that if he does this then everyone - flying or not - has external views on.

Thanks, good to know.  Humm, wish I could have external views for spectators but not for flying folks.  Oh well.  

 

What I mean is it would be nice to allow someone to hop into the available slot of another AI.  That is different than the dogfight servers.  Example you are your friends take off with a flight of il2's being escorted by AI yaks.  If one of your friends botches his take off and crashes he is out the whole mission.  Would be nice to allow him to jump into one of the AI escort planes. But I get that isn't possible now, maybe in the future :)

In coops, it's always a take off thing. :)   Here's how we deal with it as a squad;  the host calls all the shots. 

If someone crashes when taxiing or on take off the host - if he wishes - calls "twenty seconds!"  Thats the signal for everyone to shoot up whoever or whatever they like - for twenty seconds.  Then the host restarts the mission and by the time everyone has stopped laughing we're ready to go again.

 

Of course, there's a limit to everyone's patience and it's accepted that by the second or third restart the host is quite within his rights to curse everyone for a stupid s.o.b and continue with the mission regardless.

 

Give it ago.  Like I say, by the time the laughter and banter has died down the host has got the mission reloaded:cool:
