# MP carriers

## Overview
|
|
|
|
There are two settings properties that improve the behaviour of MP carriers.
|
|
|
|
Both appear in the "Multiplayer Settings" dialogue, from menu "Multiplayer/Multiplayer Settings".
|
|
|
|
* `/sim/mp-carriers/auto-attach`
|
|
|
|
This is true by default.
|
|
|
|
When an MP carriers appear, we automatically enable the matching AI scenerio so that it will
|
|
be visible to the user.
|
|
|
|
* `/sim/mp-carriers/latch-always`
|
|
|
|
This is not enabled by default.
|
|
|
|
When enabled we force an AI carrier to exactly follow the position and orientation of the MP carrier; this is done by C++ in each frame (otherwise Flightgear uses Nasal to periodically change the AI carrier's velocity to make it approximately follow the MP carrier).
|
|
|
|
This works better as long as multiplayer motion is smooth (e.g. with simple-time).
|
|
|
|
And it also improves behaviour when replaying recordings because the carrier position is replayed exactly the same as when recorded.
