Hi GGTharos, thanks for the password. I'll try my luck later. As the missions are scripted, I hope it will not confuse the whole mission timing because I will need some time for taxi before starting.. As far as I remember, this problem was solved very elegant in Falcon 4.0: when your mission started at, lets say for example 15:00, you could either select 'start on runway' and would be placed there engines running and ready for T/O at exactly 15:00, OR you could choose 'start at parking' and would start the mission a few minutes earlier (!), e.g. 14:55 which left you enogh time to bring the jet to life, do your preflight checks and setups and taxi to runway. You got the T/O clearance from tower no earlier than 15:00, your designated startup time. Anyway, great sim! Panther

Hello Guys, I've recently purchased LOMAC and FC(1.1) and think it's a quite great sim. As I've gathered experience with Falcon 4.0 some years ago, it was not too difficult to get into the sim. Just one thing is absolutely annoying for me: To make the sim realistic, it is in my eyes absolutely essential to start every mission from the parking area with a cold and dark cockpit. In a real simulation, a mission should in my opinion NEVER EVER start flying in the air, and starting on the runway with running engines is also quite annoying, as the startup procedure with the engine start procedure and the initial setup belongs to the simulation. How can I start every mission / campaign mission at the parking area with engines turned off? I saw that the starting point can be modified in the mission editor, but the missions are classified and cannot be edited... or is there another way to modify the missions? Thanks for answers Panther
