AI

[Hohenadler]

I have played ROF and notice that 90 percent of the time the AI ends up flying in circles about 400m and Lower it is a bit annoying and predictable. Are the AI in FC vol 1 "smarter?"

Hi Hohenadler.  The most recent AI in Flying Circus is definitely better and more varied than what you get in RoF.  I say that as someone who has been an open critic of the very unsatisfactory AI over the last 9 years, so you know I am not biased. 

 

I'd go so far as to say the new AI is what makes FC a must buy if you are into WW1 and singleplayer.

I wonder if the new DM will have an impact on the AI behaviour?

Is FC going to get scripted missions and a career mode?

Will FC get scripted missions and a career mode?

The only thing I know it has is quick missions.

A Career mode doesn't seem likely in the short or medium term. I do hope to see it eventually but I wouldn't hold my breath.

 

There is a Scripted Campaign out now that is being made official soon but you can download it already.

Also, Pat Wilson's Campaign Generator can create it's own campaign system that plays a bit like career mode.

 

 

There could be more but this helps get things rolling in single player.
