AI suddenly stops fighting

[SG1_Lud]

I know that via scripts is possible to interrogate an airgroup about its position current waypoint and task. Also you can assign new waypoints and tasks.

It is not difficult either to obtain the position of your plane via script-

So you could - via script - interrogate periodically about the wp and task, and in case they are RTB, make them como back to you.

Ask Kodiak in the scripts sub forums, he is the man for this job. For example, he has published an script that makes an AI patrol. The patrol will cycle in a rectangle of 5 x 10 Km during 30 cycles, in case the run out of fuel, the scripts locates the nearest airfield and makes it the next waypoint with the task "Land".

The rest is to set the AI sliders correctly as you was told above, try discipline low so they will not be so correct and attack you disregarding other considerations. And advanced flying not too high so they do not make strange manouvers.

Hope it helps!
