(See reproduction mission attached)
AI manned A-143 Buzzard is given 4 waypoints some 1km apart.
Observed behavior:
AI pilot starts turning in circles of 6km diameter trying to hit the first waypoint. Once the 1st waypoint is hit, the same process repeats.
See ai_buzzard_hits_waypoint_1.jpg, ai_buzzard_hits_waypoint_2.jpg.
Expected behavior:
AI pilot steers immediately towards the 1st waypoint (or steers away, followed by a sharp turn towards the 1st waypoint. See 'human_flown_buzzard_hits_all_4_waypoints.jpg' screen shot.
AI pilot uses (almost) maximum turn rate to hit waypoints.
AI behavior resembles that of a trained fighter pilot.
AI pilot looks ahead to next waypoint and attempts to fly a (Hermite) spline through waypoints. {F22509} {F22510} {F22511} {F22512}
