9.JG27 DavidRed Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 with the ww2 map still far away, i think it would be awesome to give us the possibilty to create airfields on the map, where we want them...it could give us lots more possibilties to create a little more immersive "ww2" missions, a little away from the immersion breaking modern environment... i tried to make it happen with the FARPS, but unfortunately, although i get the ATC to reply, and give me inbound headings, and also start up permissions, it seems impossible to spawn there...also re-arming/re-fueling and repairing doesnt work it seems... whats working in the 109, is to get the inertial starter.... now it would be awesome, to have a mission editor object, similar to FARPS, resembling a grass runway strip, with the possibilty to set frequencies, and to spawn fixed wing aircraft, or at least warbirds there, let them re-arm and repair, and refuel...would give us mission builders lots more possibilities, and would make the waiting a little less painful... EDIT: actually it wouldnt need to be any visual model even like the FARPS, but only some "zone" which works as an airfield... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlipBall Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 This is a very good idea...it has always annoyed me that spawns are restricted to the nearest airfield to the area selected, in these sims Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[DBS]TH0R Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 +1 Excellent idea.

Teapot Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Yeppers, very good idea. "A true 'sandbox flight sim' requires hi-fidelity flyable non-combat utility/support aircraft." Wishlist Terrains - Bigger maps Wishlist Modules - A variety of utility aircraft to better reflect the support role. E.g. Flying the Hornet ... big yawn ... flying a Caribou on a beer run to Singapore? Count me in. Extracting a Recon Patrol from a hastily prepared landing strip at a random 6 figure grid reference? Now yer talking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeilWillis Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 A FARP for Fixed wing. I'm sure it wouldn't be too difficullt to implement, with just a runway and a few buildings available as structures, and when they're placed, they could be a location where other units can be added, along with all the necessary repair and replen facilities. After all, all you needed in the Pacific was a friendly island, some CEEBEEs, sheet steel runway matting and bulldozers. Very good idea if you ask me.

ED Team NineLine Posted May 15, 2015 ED Team Share Posted May 15, 2015 A long while back I started looking into what it would take to make something similar to the placable FARPs for fixed wing, but then I got distracted :) Forum Rules • My YouTube • My Discord - NineLine#0440• **How to Report a Bug** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shagrat Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Well, actually a simple TriggerZone (no Texture or material rquired!) that could act as a FARP or field runway would be FAN-TAS-TIC! Simply check for the required FARP units in a radius of 300m (GPU-Truck, Fuel-Truck, Comms) and allow Helicopters and Airplanes inside a 600m radius to perform ATC, reload, refuel and repair! Add some Trigger zone, that acts as a spawn point (yep, just one Spawn point!) and we could add Spawn points manually! We can add a Heli H or T as a separate texture or a runway strip, but in fact any field will do with the trigger zone and some smoke markers?!
