I'm not sure on this myself and was wondering, but somewhere in the options there was the option to view next ai aircraft/unit , and an option I think I saw to take control of unit. That may be the key to taking control. Again just a guess.

Artillery/AAA is not enabled in the current patch (by the time TF noticed, it was too late and would had delayed the release).
Tanks you can drive and even spawn provided they are enabled in the spawn point.

You can hop into an existing tank just like you do to another plane.

We do not yet really have a server setup which makes use of the tanks and artillery.

Our main server mission builder is on a 4000 mile cross country move to a new job, so has been unable to create something which would show the tanks to advantage.

Hope to have one up soon. :thumbsup:

I can get into a vehicle, and I can control the weapons, but I can't control the vehicle itself. AI seems to be having too much fun with the patch and won't let me drive. I'm really interested in convoy development as an intelligent target. I don't expect anything like that any time soon, but I did want to drive around a bit and gauge the interest/immersion factor before making any noise.

Please. How can I take control of a vehicle? Is this script-enabled only and above my pay grade? Has anyone managed it besides TF?

Oh, and congrats of this fine achievment. It's looking more and more like a real place, worth defending.

You are having difficulty with the vehicles because you are getting into an AI vehicle which has a waypoint. So when you leave the driver's seat, it will start moving to its next waypoint. This is the same with AI aircraft when you jump into them.

We have not yet put up a server with spawn points for human controlled vehicles, the same way as you have spawn points for human controlled aircraft. We hope to do this soon.

I'm old, so you're probably as confused with my interest as I am with the need for a server. So I can't do this for myself, on my PC, in an MP mission I create and host (listen server) for other barnacles like myself?

Bummer. I was hoping to relive my competitive spirit without competitors. My 67 year-old bother routinely kicks my a**, so you'll understand why I want to use my deck of cards.

Now I do have to get back to work. I was hoping for a compelling excuse.

Thanks for all you have done and continue to do. I think I always saw the potential beauty in this sim--even when the rafters were rattling.

PM me and I'll send you a mission you can use.

Ditto,,,I have all the keys programmed but I can't seem to wrest control from AI...I can get inside ( just like aircraft) but AI just keeps running it no matter what commands I try.I must be missing something...:doh:

Salute Blitzen

I know you fly offline, and am sorry to say its almost impossible to use the vehicles offline in single player.

As mentioned, the only vehicles you can jump into are those which are plotted to move as AI, and therefore if you attempt to go to the gunner position, you will end up with a problem of the AI taking over and the vehicle moving back to its last waypoint, or forwards to the next one. Which makes it hard to shoot.

If you are interested, and if you send me your email, I can send you a sample single player mission which will allow you to try the vehicles out in single player. But you will find them frustrating.

To use them without the issues, you need to be online and to start a vehicle from a spawn. Which we are hoping to put up on a server in the next while.

Hi Team Fusion ;)


I'm sorry, but is there a person who could explain the procedure from the beginning to create a mission with controllable tanks?

Should there be only tanks and dynamic?
Static tanks?
"artillery" tanks?

Should we add rows conf.ini?

Should check or uncheck options realism before starting the mission.

Should we start a dedicated server or a normal server.

Please help us;)

For SP you will have to go into the Full Mission Builder and create your own mission.
On this mission you can add tanks and once the mission is started, you can jump into them exactly like you can jump into another plane.
Of course, you will need to spawn in a plane that is near the tanks since after certain distance (just like with planes) you will not be able to jump in them.

Thanks Colander,

But i can't jump into tank, there are no icon active and no line driver tanks. :

In the plane, right click, select "view vehicle" and then SHIFT-F1 to jump in.

Tanks and Vehicles are best used online in Multiplayer.

See an example here in Lolsav's video:

http://theairtacticalassaultgroup.com/forum/showthread.php?t=6540

I will post a single player Vehicle mission in the next few days.

Can 2 human players man a single vehicle so that driving and "gunning" can be coordinated?

Yes, online you can.

First guy gets in tank through normal spawn.

2nd guy joins in the same way that a crew member joins an aircraft as a gunner.

Thanks. I guess I was doing the "1st guy" wrong by trying to join via aircraft.

I made an online map with a vehicle following an AI path and could change positions in the tank and fire the main gun. It did only follow the route of the AI, I could not set up a fleet of vehicles to try out. I guess its too soon or can you do more online. If yes then please show how
Thanks
