Axis...care to share how you guys don't lose your AI during flight? Seems we have issues on the allied side with uncommanded descents for the AI....
Dobs, It appears that the AI like to follow a dying pilot to the ground, which sucks because you can't exit the plane or your done and its hard to transfer fast enough. If I end up crashing (land or air), they follow me down and land (well, 75% of the time anyway).
If you have 2 AI left, it's not too hard to get up. When you switch to a landed AI, go to the command screen and grab and "drag" a different AI off to someplace (equal to or lower then they are parked at). When it starts to move, jump to that AI and then give the form up command and the rest will magically join you.
That works sometimes with planes that run into mountains. just drag them to someplace lower then there current stuck place. Once they start to move tell them to form up. This works about 50%.
If you explode, the transfer works fine and you are usually good. If you get PK'd, your done.
Also remember, no matter what the throttle is set at, when you transfer the new plane will be at 0%. You MUST cycle throttle.
This stuff works for me at least and its not 100%. This has worked for me 5 times but not as well for Houndog.
