Autopilot question?

[Troll2k]

I have no firm data or proof.This is just my impression from building a few AI dogfight maps.

It seems to me that the AI have a built in takeoff routine.They complete a takeoff circuit before going to your first waypoint.

Maybe if you engage the autopilot before your first waypoint is reached they stay in that builtin predefined routine.After the first waypoint(and out of their builtin routine) the autopilot will engage.

If you create just a takeoff and one waypoint and watch them they will just do their thing before going to the first waypoint.

Anyway just a thought on my part.
