Roadrunner Posted May 8, 2015 Posted May 8, 2015 hi gents, i was wondering if someone might have an idea to get my thought working. the "problem" is, that if you land on your airfield, you might not park where you spawned, and therefore new spawning aircraft could spawn in you, making you both explode. my idea was to have a small sign or paiting on the ground with the according slot number. in all my missions the aircrafts have there slot number painted on them (Bort # , as far as the model allows it), so finding/remembering the parkingspot is no issue. creating a mod for that seems not to be the problem, one could simply create 92 (think thats max slots at anapa) models, but having the ability to type the number into the unit like the Bort # for an aircraft would be better. so, anyone having the knowledge if that can be done? thanks & regards, RR [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] "There's nothing to be gained by second guessing yourself.

WildBillKelsoe Posted May 8, 2015 Posted May 8, 2015 I think you need a ground chart. AWAITING ED NEW DAMAGE MODEL IMPLEMENTATION FOR WW2 BIRDS Fat T is above, thin T is below. Long T is faster, Short T is slower. Open triangle is AWACS, closed triangle is your own sensors. Double dash is friendly, Single dash is enemy. Circle is friendly. Strobe is jammer. Strobe to dash is under 35 km. HDD is 7 times range key. Radar to 160 km, IRST to 10 km. Stay low, but never slow.
Home Fries Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 Not a bad concept. IRL, you may not have a painted parking spot, but you will have a lineman guiding you to your assigned spot. Perhaps some progressive taxi instructions (optional and that don't spam the ground freq which is shared with tower in-game) with a lineman pointing you to a parking spot. Something that in depth would be a ways down the road, but having your assigned parking spot highlighted would be a nice option in the meantime. Either that, or just have better collision detection and/or dynamic spawning to prevent ground collisions. -Home Fries My DCS Files and Skins My DCS TARGET Profile for Cougar or Warthog and MFDs F-14B LANTIRN Guide
Roadrunner Posted May 11, 2015 Author Posted May 11, 2015 aye, irl you are navigated by groundcrew or something, we dont have that, and irl there are no spawning aircrafts, hehe ;) you give me an interesting idea home fries, as i'm using only one airbase and placed aircrafts as template for each mission, so essentialy i could just create some triggerzones, and when a specific aircraft taxis trhough it it can get a radio message alà "turn left/right to your parking position". thanks & regards, RR [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] "There's nothing to be gained by second guessing yourself.

USSInchon Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 Maybe once TowSim gets the ATC part of Aries up and running we can have a ground controller direct aircraft to their spots.
