SDsc0rch Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 when you place an aircraft on the map and you designate it to start the mission on the ramp, it is assigned a parking spot on the airfield... but.. there are a lot of spots! how do you know where on the airfield you will end up by selecting a number in the dropdown list? well, here you go... south-west ramps: east and north-east: north: west ramp (fighters): west ramp (heavies): so there you go! you have no excuse now 8) ps.. i just named these ramps based on their relative location, if they're actually called something else, let me know i'll change it 4 i7-4790K | Asus Sabertooth Z97 MkI | 16Gb DDR3 | EVGA GTX 980 | TM Warthog | MFG Crosswind | Panasonic TC-58AX800U [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Johnny Dioxin Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 I just selected different starting "Park" numbers and watched the icon jump around the airfield map until it was at the place I wanted to start!

Psyrixx Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 Also - you forgot to mention - helicopters have a specific area in the northern part of the airfield that only work for helicopters, about 12 helo specific parking spots (further North of E01-E06 near and including the [ H ] helipad). :-) Robert Sogomonian | Psyrixx website| e-mail | blog | youtube | twitter

You can't place the Winged Aircraft on the Helicopter slots, and the Helicopters cannot be placed on the Winged Aircraft slots. I think this is an excellent decision. :thumbup: 1 Robert Sogomonian | Psyrixx website| e-mail | blog | youtube | twitter

I think this is an excellent decision. :thumbup: I believe that is the same way in old 1.2 and 1.5 beta. I know when having airplanes and helicopters on same field I could not put them in any old slot. There were certain ones each could not go into but the other could. Yes, it is a well thought out idea. :thumbup:
Kayos Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 (edited) Awesome ! Thank you very much. I guess eventually we will also get to see the aircraft on the tarmac instead of the icons. It would make it much easier to set the direction it is facing etc... I thought they might have added it to 2.0 but I guess not. Edited December 3, 2015 by Kayos [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Eight Ball Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 Thanks a lot for taking the time to do this ! At least between Helicopters and Planes/Jets ... yes! You can't place the Winged Aircraft on the Helicopter slots, and the Helicopters cannot be placed on the Winged Aircraft slots. I think this is an excellent decision. Same with larger aircraft. You can't place a C-130 or a KC-135 anywhere you'd like. They have limited number of spots. Find The Links To All My Mods And Liveries Here (in the gallery)
