Should pilots exist in the game

<< < (3/10) > >>

stevenjackson:
Often pilots are only certified to fly certain types of aircraft dependng on their training.

Maybe there could be some way to incorporate this without being too anoying for the player.

BTAxis:
I think that's impossible. It certainly is if the player is me.

stevenjackson:

To start with i think we would need to add the mechanics of hiring a pilot and getting them on and off aircraft before adding any modifiers.

This may require new screens and such.

Also we probably want to require an aircraft have a pilot before it takes off.

Btaxis found the pilots models, i just need to get it into a md2 format to be used.

stevenjackson:

We also need someone to create a new rank image for pilots.
At the moment i'm still using the medics image.

stevenjackson:

Another issue is how to assign the pilot to the aircraft.
The easiest way seems to be to reuse the "assign soldier" functionality, but this seems overly cumbersome since we will be only assigning one pilot per aircraft.

So what do people think, whats the best way to assign the pilots?
I'm not very good at the UI stuff in c.  So if someone is able to design such functionality i can make it work in the code.
