Summary0001552: Troubles with hard coded autopilot
DescriptionKazan was kind enough to program hard coded autopilot with automatic cutscenes, which is pretty cool and works suprisingly well to a certain extent. I have, however, a few small nitpicks:

- right now it is possible to disable the cutscene. I'd prefer not to. It disrupts the flow of the mission and interferes with scripting.

- physics should be disabled. Otherwise ships "slide" when they enter formation (please take a look at this: http://wcsaga.hard-light.net/team/KeldorKatarn/new_set_object_speed_SEXP_diff.txt).

- Also, when ships enter autopilot they "wiggle" a bit as they take their proper positions behind the wing leader. This is the main reason why we are still using scripted autopilot: we can disable such behavior there simply by using

* BUMP *

Is all of this stuff still an issue? Between Kazan's various fixes, and my own, at least some of this should be addressed in newer builds.

most of the issues should be fixed by now. I can't be sure since latest builds do not all that well with our dataset (messages.tbl related).

Does this build have the problem(s):
http://icculus.org/~taylor/fso/testing/20080403_trunk-win32.rar

That one has an autopilot fix or two, plus the message limit bump from the previous build too.

Not going to work on this.

I recommend closing this issue, since hard coded autopilot is no longer used

Agreed. Saga no longer uses this, so at least from our point of view this can be closed.
