How do you make 2 AI aircraft take off at the same time?

Simple question about Mission ED..

 

How do you make two (or more) AI aircraft take off from the runway at the same time (when spawning via takeoff from runway)

 

thanks :thumbup:

You have the option to set the number of aircraft in each flight when you set one on the map. Cant give exact details here at work though. Its actually simple, you will probably kick yourself.

yeah,

 

I've set 1 flight of 3 aircraft to take off from runway, but... they appear one at the time and take off only after the last one is in the air, spreading them out too much. (it's even worse if spawning in parking area)

 

Maybe I can only make them takeoff together is I set the flight to 2 AI aircraft only?

 

anyway, thanks :D

Is this in v1.02 or in FC?

Some of the bigger planes will only take off one at a time.

Some of the bigger planes will only take off one at a time.

But am I right in saying that those bigger aircraft only let you have flights of 1 pilot, and to get 3 of them you would have to have 3 flights of 1 pilot, rather than 1 flight of 3 pilots.

Can't say I recall seeing NEODARK's problem in v1.02

small fighter jets.

 

I've seen a mission where they take off, both on same flight (tornados) beside each other from runway, and in the mission ed, it looks as its simply made to be both taking off from runway in the same flight. (nothing special)

 

So I dont get why mine take off one at the time with the rest spawning behind.

 

I'll try separate flights with same start time from runway and report back, thanks.. :D

 

PS: 1.12a (latest)

You'll get some "dimensional inconsistencies", like in that x-files episode where people got stuck in the ground because of a dimensional shift, caused by an X-plane. ;)

 

never been able to do that myself (wanted to t/o with ai wingman)

All you should have to do is place them on the map with a runway takeoff indicated for WP-0. If you set the flight to 4 a/c (Tornadoes, for instance) they will be placed in takeoff position at the end of the runway with 2 in front and 2 behind. I just placed a flight of 4 at Saki before typing this as a quick check.

 

The only reason I can think for this not to happen is that the runway is too narrow (or a/c too big). Haven't placed flights on all runways to check. Which airbase are you having problems with?

That possibly were the best "two" episodes of X-files :thumbup:

Remember that old indian-shaman grandma saluting and yelling "Sir, yes, sir" :D Far out

Havent checked yet (was really late lastnight when I posted) as for airbase Rich, well each and every one of them I've tried. (most I'm using are east of Anapa for enemy AI)

 

I'll follow up on this after work today, thanks again :)
