landing a AI plane on any place on the map

[patrick01]

I tried to figure this out now for a week.  I have a cessna that takes-off from an airfield (not the default airfield). So I want my plane to take off from any place on the map. This script already works so I have AI fly from any place on the map....however
I'm stuck with a script that tells it to land. I know the function 'vehicle land "LAND"' but this will let the plane land on the default airfield not on a place where I want the plane to land.

I think I have to play with the z axis maybe in combination with atan function but I don't know how this trigonometry function or a glideangle of a plane would look like?

Here you will find a tutorial mission with scripts to take off without runaways and land at any place.

Hi Mandoble..it worked! However I need to tweak a little bit with speed and sometimes the plane bump on the ground because the engine was shut off to early. But nevertheless this is better than my attempts.

Yes, as indicated, mandoland.sqs is still beta You need to adjust the arguments till reach the desired landing path for each plane type and terrain. Now I'm too busy with Urup campaign 2.0, but I promise to revise that script in the following weeks. Meanwhile, if you improve it, let me know
