Question: How is WCS:BG handling nav points?

[Jeremy Reimer]

Hi there,

I have a question about the Wing Commander Saga: Battlegroup Serpent mod. Are you guys putting in Nav points at all in your missions? How do you handle the fact that Freespace 2 has no "Autopilot" command? Or are your missions just like regular FS2 missions, without any nav points or autopilot?

Just like regular FS2 missions, without nav-points. But that may change in the future due to source code modifications.

oh, warm welcome to our newest member. who is already creating incredible textures for our models... Tommorow I 'll have some examples of his work.

as for waypoints: there are several patrol missions... not just simple kill 'emm all, shoot if IFF is red, stand by if it is green

Just wait about 4 months and you'll see it.

So in your patrol missions, how does the flight system work exactly? How do you know which way to patrol?

in one mission we have so far you have to follow your wing leader through the nebula. Additionaly waypoints can be marked (I guess that, I am not a freder)
