Aircraft spawning in the same location on CVN-74

Friend and I were doing some carrier practice in MP in the F/A-18s, however the only spawn location for the carrier is 'auto' when creating a mission, one person would spawn in fine, then the 2nd person goes to spawn in, but in the exact same location, needless to say the explosion was spectacular!

 

I also had 2 AI F-14s spawned on the deck, but I would hope the carrier has space for more than 3 aircraft! :lol:

Same here.

 

Reproduce:

- Make mission with 2 F-18 Lot20 on the Stennis, ramp start both "client"

- Host a server

- Let second player connect

- Both of you spawn as F-18 Lot20 Stennis ramp start

 

Aircraft appear on the same spot on the front right elevator and blow up :(

Welcome to DCS World. All the aircraft carriers, including the Tarawa are unplayable in MP. Unless you are spawning one after the other and move away (for helicopters) before the next one spawns. It's been like this for a long time but I am not sure this is actually dealt with at ED.

It's not a problem for me if you have 1 spawn in first, unpause, and the have the 2nd client get in the 3d world.

Having to spawn one after the other is a real pain. You have to coordinate precisely through TS/Discord. There's always one who miss it and spawns on the previous one. And what an immersion killer too.

Understandable. I can only assume it's pretty high up on the to-fix-list.
