Been drifting my lazy eye over to the ED forums on occasion to take a look at the condition of the mission editor as well as some of the ground AI. I'm not really seeing anything specific about it getting better- but what has the experience been so far?
I'm starting to itch to make simple but realistic missions for small groups of aircraft- probably type specific and mostly cooperative. As most of you know, my "specialty" or at least the mission style I understood the best was for the A-10C since that was what most of my reading involved.
But I have no more patience now for static targets and deplorable pathfinding on AI ground units than when I left... I just don't want to waste one more second wrestling with the mission editor trying to configure a route for a ground unit that is going to randomly hit a bridge and turn into a leaning tower of M1s. I'm even less interested than that to fly for an hour with others in a mission that took days of mission editor time to build and fine tune just to show up over the target area to find out that the convoy I'm looking for is turned inside out and still inchworming its way along a road warming up their tires in formula 1 tailgating.
In perusing the thread I see that people are still active and enjoying the missions that crew created... seeing some familiar faces. I even saw lucky812 come in after what I think has been over a year hiatus!
So... weather report? How are things going on there on a technical / AI level? Time to get back into it?
