Destroyer37 Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 Wish list item: Take off from ground option for all aircraft in the simulator. This will allow mission makers such as myself the ability to populate smaller airports with more aircraft if all the parking spots are taken. Specs:Fractal Design Define R5 Black, ASUS ROG Strix Z370-E, Intel Core i5-8600K Coffee Lake @ 5.1 GHz, MSI GeForce GTX 1080ti 11GB 352-Bit GDDR5X, Corsair H110i, G.Skill TridentZ 32GB (2x16GB), Samsung 960 Evo M.2 500GB SSD
nztyke Posted July 25, 2021 Posted July 25, 2021 Is this feature not being considered at least? modifying the me-route.lua file will allow the option in the mission editor but not all aircraft appear to have AI model able (at least from what i can tell), to start engines in some of the aircraft. although, if you point them in the right direction, they will silently go sailing off into the yonder (UFO technology). does anyone know a hack to get "engines on" and if this bug "feature" will be looked at in the future?
Northstar98 Posted July 25, 2021 Posted July 25, 2021 For player controlled aircraft this is already in. For AI aircraft though, if it can't takeoff/land vertically it isn't. Though +1 it would be great, we just need AI that's smarter in its pathfinding capabilities.

nztyke Posted July 26, 2021 Posted July 26, 2021 i think the main issue is that the AI pilot does not start the engines when set to "take off from ground". not sure why this would be a problem, since its essentially the same logic as starting from ramp (or starting parking hot). its probably just one more state in a case statement that needs to be added to the code. i don't mind the fact the AI cannot "taxi" to anywhere meaningful. just point it in the right direction and let it rip (it does that anyway already... just without engines on).
