I was making a test flight at a whopping 35000 feet & at that high of an altitude, almost no planes can fly there (at least in SP) but outta nowhere, a whole damn A380 appeared near me but still kinda far away, it flew around me for a while southeast from me, it was pretty far so I could’ve only saw it’s lights, it later disappeared & a bit later I descended to 32500 feet & outta nowhere, the same A380 I saw appeared right below & behind me, climbed higher than me, flew above me for around 15 secs & nosedived into me, the force of the impact completely destroyed both the A380 & my aircraft & detached my flight computer from my aircraft & sent it flying at a near supersonic speed of around 730 mph, I’ve experienced things similar to this one too many times before & ik I’m not the only one, but bringing this topic up, I wonder, is this a bug? If so, is it gonna get fixed or is this how AI in the game is programmed? To fly near you? Does anyone know?
Edit: now I just witnessed a tanker nosedive at a near-vertical angle into the water… wtf 😭
no, the artificial idiocy (ai) has been like that in sp1 for as long as i remember
@StockPlanesRemastered nah, try spawning a plane with more than 96 parts urself, it rly works.
@AviationLover12345 Again, an A380 isn't gonna auto spawn. the criteria for a build to auto spawn is as follows.
-No more than 96 parts.
-no more than 7 wing surfaces.
-The Ai has to be able to fly it. it has a system in place to do so.
That's why I always take a sidewinder to school.
@YarisHatchback which it was.
@StockPlanesRemastered actually… a couple days ago I had a craft saved that was made up of 471 parts, I spawned at Wright Airport wanting to do some target practice by spawning AI planes & seeing the saved craft, I wanted to see what would happen if you spawn an AI plane that has more than 96 parts & it worked; the limit is way over 96; maybe there ain’t even a limit, who knows?
@StockPlanesRemastered pretty sure it's MAPA's airbus
@jamesPLANESii sounds about right
There's no way an A380 auto spawned as aggressive. Only one plane can do that and it's the tutorial plane with 5-blade props. Also any A380 is gonna be way over the part count budget for auto spawning.
My favourite was blowing a wing off the og p51 and the AI for the first time ever decided to perfectly land at Yeager, most beautiful thing ive ever seen
SP literally has a kamakazi AI mode in the coding
@Boeing727200F gets lonely without other traffic
You guys have AI aircraft spawning around you? I turned that off ages ago.
@DeeganWithABazooka oh damn, i didn't know that
AI planes secretly hate you. If they have weapons they will defend themselves if attacked (obviously), but if given no weapons they will try to ram into on sight (most of the time)
@YarisHatchback The Cockpit Parts Update introduced many new AI bugs
