I am unaware if this has been suggested in the past or is already on the dev list, but to be quite frank im to lazy so you can blame me for that.

1. Overview
How this would work is there could be a bomber, or surveilence plane at a reasnable cruise altitude of around 30k ft. You would have to fly up to it in any type of fighter or intercepter and *fly paralell with it in a designated distance for a certain amount of time. *You could have a transparent red or green sphere around the flying veichle to show the exact distance you must maintain or how close you must be towards that aircraft. If you dont reach the aircrafts interception zone within a certain amount of time it would despawn and the mission would fail.

2. Dev feasability
I beleive this would be fairley easy for the devs to implement it. All they have to do is use one of their bomber or surveilence aircraft and flying it at a preset altitude. The aircraft would be a NPC of course and would just fly in one strait line across the map where it would despawn if it goes to far. There are already jobs that spawn in models in game such as SAR and upcoming fire fighting. The NPC aircraft only has to be visable to the one on the mission to reduce lag

3. benefits
I beleive it would add greatly needed contrast and be a good addition to jobs where you have to be activley at your computer and have quick reaction time to stay within the designated zone of the aircraft.

1. I beleive this is feasable from a dev perspective

2. It add more than 5 minutes of entertainment

3. Its fits the genre

4. I can explain its to devs

SpringfieldPensive been suggested and I'd agree but that's what the devs have said for previous jobs

*For devs who see this and think this is to close to PVE: *Its is maintaining a certain distance for a certain amount of time to a NPC aircraft flying in a strait line. No weapons firing, no special animations, just flying near a NPC aircraft.

actually was speeching almost exactly same concept, didn't noticed any refusal, iirc even Hyper was okayish about it

#

so there's hope for this concept if/when AI planes ever come around

#

i will put "needs more evaluation" for now

uh unrelated to suggestion but when you post your really cool liveries can you include the name of the aircraft in the text so I can search e175 and it’ll come up

rich estuary
#

that's an example

#

only issues i have is that you'd have to adjust your thrust to match the speed of the goober youre intercepting though ig that's some extra things to do while ur afk next to it for 3 minutes

im gonna piggyback off this and say it here before making a separate suggestion
aerial refueling jobs!!!!!!!!!!

green yacht
#

the problem with air to air refueling with other people is it’s incredibly laggy and you never know where you are in comparison to each other

#

so client side refueling would be a lot more fun

green yacht
#

exactly

civic gorge
#

so no lag and guessing where the refuel hitbox is

#

though 2 player jobs could be fun

#

cooperate and both of you get better moneys

green yacht
#

yea

#

but o tried one yesterday with a friend, an osprey and an f/a 18 and in the span of an hour we connected once fore about 2 seconds

#

actually that reminds me to submit a bug report
