Player pilots

[Campus]

I played a little bit with a player pilots that i create. I found out options to play with whatever created pilot i want to. 

But what i wonder if i can (lets say i have created 2 pilots in the same squadron) play with both pilots on the same day so for example i create a mission for pilot 1 and after its completed i can create mission for pilot 2 on the same day. 

Also can i change injuries for them separately? If i put on no injuries when crashed or wounded in advanced options will that apply for both playable pilots even if they are controlled by ai? I want to create high scoring aces in the same squad which is kind of impossible with random squad mates as they either dont kill or get shot down and killed.

Even with historical aces they get shot down too easily and they are seriously wounded and never return while scoring kills. Is there any option for this ?

tough topic but i appreciate any answers

No missions for 2 pilots on the same day.  If both pilots are in the same campaign they exist in the same world.  Doing an AAR advances time in that world by a day.  When you go to do the second AAR the day will be wrong.  This concept is so deeply embedded in PWCG it is unlikely to change.

 

You can resurrect a pilot using the pilot admin page, outside of waiting the time that PWCG allotted.  I don't think that the existence of another pilot in the campaign affects that in any way.

 

Aces that keep scoring after they have been killed is a bug.

i also have another question. It is more a problem i dont know how to solve. 

So i created 2 pilots and put them into a mission together. Before i created the mission i picked pilot 1 as reference pilot and i made pilot 1 as flight lead. But when i start the mission it always puts me as pilot 2, no matter if i make pilot1 leader or choose him as reference pilot and i have tried to check those little circles when assigning pilots in a mission

If anything PWCG should not have let you put the two pilots into the same mission.  Short version is that you're trying to use PWCG in a way that it wasn't coded to handle.  Nothing wrong with wanting the code to work that way, but it just doesn't.

i see, so the idea to use multiple player pilots was to fly with n1 on this day and with n2 the next day but not together.

anyway i get no error or issues when placing both in the same mission just that problem that i am not the leader but the last player pilot in formation

Yes.  The reason you get no error is that I never put in a check to prevent it.  Without that check the results are what you see.
