This is a mission to quickly practice dogfights against AI WWII units.
At any time enemy planes can be spawned, up to 24 of various types (FW-190A, FW-190D, BF-109K) and skills. By default they will spawn 3 miles ahead of the player at the same altitude and same speed. They will fly towards the player to engage. The type and skill of the enemy to be spawned can be selected via the F10 menu. The F10 menu also contains settings to change the distance from the player, the direction from the player, the height difference between the spawned AI and the player, and the speed difference between the spawned AI and the player when the AI is spawned.
When the mission starts it will automatically setup the P-51 with wingspan set to 33, mirrors down, and the sight set to fixed + gyro. On mission start the F10 menu will also be open so you can quickly sel ect an ai to spawn. This combined with LShift + R makes it quick to practice against different opponents.
If you would like to change the location of where you start just move the Player aircraft in the mission editor and everything should work. The script itself should work if you change the player aircraft to something else, but the setup stuff at mission start probably wont since it is P-51 specific.
Big thanks to AKA_Relent for his "OpForAc - Opposing Force AI Aircraft script" I used as a template to get this all to work. Check it out here: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3332275/
Also thanks to those working on MIST as I used several functions fr om that to get this all working as well. https://github.com/mrSkortch/MissionScriptingTools
