About the network mode

[muzhizhao]

In network mode, I'm trying to get two planes to start a dogfight and I can attack the enemy plane by doing "df.activate_IA", but how do I do it to get my plane to attack? It seems to only fly in circles

Hi, the IA is very basic. When you have IA vs IA, the same algorithm flies both planes. The two planes try to go towards the enemy, and enter a loop: they turn. I haven't fixed this case yet, I need to add a support for this case.

Because the enemy aircraft has IA on and the Allies do not have IA on and are using reinforcement learning algorithms, what should I do to get the aircraft to fire in network mode, e.g. fire missiles when locked on enemy aircraft, fire, etc?

There is a "fire_missile" function in network mode:

Thanks, I will try it

What should I do if I want to shoot with a gun?

[ErkMkd]

You have the function activate / deactivate_machinegun:

Thank you, I will try it again

Hi,
I am working on a reinforcement learning project using the Harfang platform and I would like to ask how to enable multiple dogfight-sandboxes in network mode to achieve parallel training?
