Spawn AI Underwater Glitch

648 Tengam  6.9 years ago

I’m not one to complain. I’m actually pretty considerate. But when you try to spawn a Nieuport 17 thirteen times and every time it spawns underwater, I will get annoyed.

The glitch causes the AI to spawn below sea level, and is more likely to happen when your aircraft is lower to the ground, like when starting a level on a runway or aircraft carrier. I believe it is caused by code not registering that the water is... well... water. It clogs engines and pulls planes down to the Kraken.

It’s a simple fix: make it so AI cannot spawn if altitude is less than 0, or taking into consideration the altitude needed to gain speed and more altitiude, probably 200.

I figured if the AI terrain-avoidance system was so advanced, why wouldn’t a spawned plane not appear 300 feet below?

Thank you,
-Tengam

    @RailfanEthan This has been around since I started the game. It’s been annoying, but once i realized that it was a glitch, I got an account and posted it here. I thought it was just a minor one, but it started to affect gameplay... don’t know if it’s just me, being on mobile, or everyone. Thanks for acknowledging the problem.

    Sounds like we have a bug that needs to be squashed
