dragging balloons ?

[jollyjack]

I was trying to set up a ww1 Nieuport as leader plane, to drag 3 aetype balloons behind it at 3000m, air-start 100km/h, ... it crashes IL2. Any ideas?

Just stop doing that, and it won’t crash IL-2.

Too easy LoL. Tried in freeflight, but balloons won't move, not even on the wind, but slowly sink towards the ground.

A ship pulls it forward, but still the aetype hits the water and explodes, but no game crash !

I want to know if trucks can pull them on a road. That really happened. I’ll have to check into it

According Hamaha15: balloons obey vertical waypointing only, horizontal not.

I think i tested the new m type balloons once and had them moving along with a ship, but needs separate waypointing.

I just used the same waypoint linking as used for the ship ... seems to work.

It's either the game crashes with balloons tethered to a plane (which is not allowed) or you shouldn't try to make a group of plane and balloons with the target links.

Anyways, planes can't tow aerostats, use ships or winch trucks if you want to.

We should probably restrict doing both things to avoid such crashes.

Well that answers my question. Winch trucks can pull them on roads. Thanks Regingrave!

I can't reproduce the crash. Can you send me your mission? Please delete everything from it, except the plane and the balloons. Will it still crash in that case?

Well, pity, it could be more fun, especially regarding Chinese balloons.
