Immersive Aircrafts Compat is a compatibility addon that connects Recruits with Immersive Aircraft, allowing recruit NPCs to mount aircraft and fly/fight using server-side pilot AI. It adds command-based control for selecting pilots, marking strike zones, and launching coordinated attack runs.

Features

Recruit Pilot AI

Recruits can pilot compatible aircraft with autonomous flight behavior.
AI handles following, holding, moving, approach/fire/break-off combat runs, and idle landing behavior.
Obstacle avoidance and altitude management are built in for safer flight paths.

Coordinated Air Attack Missions

• Select a single aircraft or an entire recruit group.
• Mark a target area with world coordinates and radius.
• Launch a timed mission where selected pilots engage valid enemies inside the marked zone.

Weapon-Aware Combat Logic

• Supports aircraft weapons through Immersive Aircraft weapon systems.
• Different engagement behavior for bomb bays and rotary weapons.
• Includes line-of-sight checks, firing angle checks, cooldown handling, and safety constraints for bomb drops.

Server Integration

• On server start, supported Immersive Aircraft entities are added to Recruits’ mount whitelist automatically. • Compatible entities include: airship, biplane, cargo_airship, gyrodyne, quadrocopter, warship, bamboo_hopper.

Configurable Behavior

• Extensive common config options for altitude, fire range, cooldown, obstacle detection, combat floor/ceiling, bombing safety, and idle landing timing. • Optional autoPilotMountedRecruits mode (default true) to let any mounted recruit pilot automatically.

How To Use

Quick Start Workflow

Mount recruit(s) in compatible aircraft.
Select pilots with /iac select ac (single) or /iac select group (group tied to looked-at pilot).
Mark a strike area with /iac mark .
Launch attack with /iac commence attack.
You can also tell the aircrafts to move by the move command and set them to aggressive to fight. NOTE: You need to put fuel and ammo along with weapon for them to fly and shoot.

Command Reference

• /iac takeoff: Shows whether recruit airplane takeoff is enabled.
• /iac takeoff on: Enables recruit airplane takeoff.
• /iac takeoff off: Disables recruit airplane takeoff.
• /iac select ac: Selects the recruit pilot you are looking at.
• /iac select group: Selects matching recruit pilots in the same owner/group context.
•/iac mark : Marks the target zone for selected aircraft.
•/iac commence attack: Sends selected loaded pilots to attack enemies in the marked area.

Behavior Notes

• Attack missions are temporary and automatically expire after a set duration.
• Only loaded/mounted selected pilots are dispatched when an attack begins.
• Best results come from clear sky lanes and enough fuel/ammo in aircraft systems.

Troubleshooting

If pilots do not attack

• Confirm a valid selection was made with /iac select.
• Confirm strike area was marked with /iac mark.
• Ensure selected recruits are mounted and currently loaded.
• Verify targets are inside the marked radius and are valid hostile targets for recruits.

If pilots do not take off

• Check /iac takeoff status.
• Confirm aircraft type is supported and whitelisted.
• Verify config values are not overly restrictive for altitude/engagement behavior.
