Add combat npc aircrafts to maps

[Exefune]

hello, sorry if this was already asked (i dont found any post like this) but i wanted to know how i can add a working NPC combat aircraft into the map, i ask this because i want to make combats in a private server with a friend and we would love to have NPC enemy aircraft goin around or trying to shoot down us, i manage with scenario editor add NPCs but they would fly in straight lane until crashing. pls if there a way to have enemy aircraft in multiplayer game without using the endurace would love it. thanks for read and sorry if i have bad english

You have to do it with a .yfs. You can set up a dogfight (Simulation > Create Air Combat), then click OK. This closes the setup window but keeps the settings. Then do File > Save Flight.
This is a mission file (or replay file, missions are just replays without replay data). You can link it to a map by editing the .lst file for the map you're using. For example, if flying on stock Tohoku, open scenery.lst in Notepad and add the filepath of the .yfs to the end of the TOHOKU line. Some of the stock maps link .yfs files for you to reference.

You can edit the specifics of the aircraft by opening the .yfs in Notepad. For each aircraft, the file defines the following:
What aircraft it is
Where it starts
Its IFF
Its unique aircraft ID

It's then updated by AIRPCMND to load specific weapons or fuel and change its position.

INTENTIO sets the aircraft's intentions. You can tweak them to your liking, but the default dogfight values should be fine. If you want to know what any of them are, feel free to ask about them

Here are all the variables if you need them:
