other aircraft on the mission

[jack333]

Hi, I'm missing other aircraft in the career mode missions that are doing different missions than mine. I only see the aircraft I've programmed and sometimes some enemy ones. I think it would make the career more immersive if there were other aircraft on the map doing different missions. It's just a suggestion. Thanks and regards

I read somewhere (do not remember where) that other mission aircraft have not been added in yet but will be in a future release sometime before year end.

Be careful what you wish for.  More AI on the map means more stress on your computer.

CPU bottle necks and lower frames per second are not fun.

In IL-2 Forgotten Battles, more planes appear

I believe they are flights that are just randomly assigned, potentially from nearby bases? I noticed the same thing yesterday when I went for a flight.

I took off from my base in our F-80Cs and noticed that a flight of F-84s appeared over us on our way to the target area. It would be cool if that was a mission you could pick to support other flights, though it's possible it already is and I just haven't seen it in my career.

That'll be your fighter escort I think.

Or enemy supply convoys moving south. the world outside the flight route and target zone is mostly dead atm. A dynamic campaign would completely change that, but some kind of activity bubble around the player would work in the career. I dont doubt we will see some work in this area.

Its possible they could put this in the setup as an option on a slider from zero to high..
