Improved AI Terrain Following

Description
Replaces the stock AI terrain avoidance logic with my fancy terrain following logic

Stock
Improved
Minimum Altitude is like several hundred meters not sure exactly
Most aircraft are now capable of flying as low as 30m
Erratic terrain avoidance, uses 100% pitch and steers in a random-ish direction
Gently flies over obstacles
Will erratically avoid terrain when low formation flying, resulting in following aircraft getting lost/lagging far behind the leader
Efficient low altitude formation flight
Has a chance to crash at low altitude
Still has a chance to crash but I think its better

If you have issues with specific AI aircraft crashing, please message me on the discord.

There seems to be another similar problem:
On the F/A-26B mission “Desert Cobra”,
two of my fellow aircraft exploded as they started to raise their nose on takeoff.
This is only with this mod enabled.

I am using a translation tool, but it is probably an accurate translation.

okay, @Otsumi I understand, thank you

@thegreatoverlordofallcheese Sorry, I wasn't clear enough.
I was talking about the behavior of other AI aircraft when I was piloting an F-16 or AH-6. Sorry for
the DeepL translation
thegreatoverlordofallcheese  [author] 12 Jul @ 1:25pm 
also @Otsumi AH-6 and F-16 have no ai version? are u sure?
thegreatoverlordofallcheese  [author] 12 Jul @ 1:22pm 
im aware of the issue, thanks for reporting.
just so we're clear, the reason they explode is because they fall through the ground, i just have to work out why thats happening...
0tsumi 12 Jul @ 2:56am 
Whenever an AI aircraft attempts to take off from an airfield, it rolls the moment it is airborne, its wings ground and it always explodes. This also happened to bombers.
It has also occurred on F-16s, AH-6s, EF-24s, and T-55s, so it probably happens on any aircraft.

Fixed aircraft crashing in the carrier scene

It happened to me against the ASF-30, workshop mission with T-55 vs 2 ASF-30's and an AWACS, don't remember the name of the mission sorry. Map was mountainous with many valleys and ridges, the ai would just fly almost level into the terrain below me while manuevering. One of them however inverted too close to the ground with no apparent reason to do so but that could've been a hiccup

@Grizzle I wasn't able to test much with combat yet, so there's still room to tune that. Pls tell me what aircraft fighting/map/mission/bvr or bfm. thank you

Tends to hand me a terrain kill fairly quick without any effort shortly after a fight gets to the deck. Happened 3 times in a row to me.
