When an aircraft flies within 1 km of a player, a warning message is triggered — giving players a brief window to take cover. If the aircraft gets closer and has line of sight, the player is "spotted," and a squad of AI paratroopers is deployed. These AI will parachute to the ground, track to the player’s last known position, and begin a search. NEW FEATURES Added radio operator paratroopers who can call in support aircraft Added two radios that can allow any ai to call in aircraft (spawned by any means) Override to keep admirals parachute working in 1.30 Chance for aircraft to spiral to the left or right when crashing Increased time that lockon will hold after it is broken. 500ms to 1500ms. Makes it a little easier to lock and fire removed 1.29 ifdef protecting SetRequiredSimulation from 1.28 Separated faction logic from the spawning logic. Now you can override one simple function to add custom factions COMPLETE FEATURE LIST Airborne AI is highly configurable and has to many features to list them here in the description (see feature list discussion below) https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/discussion/3472298147/681860392750709353/ Additional important features: Compatible with any map Aircraft can be heard from a long distance AI may make mistakes — not always a perfect drop!
