Take off from ground

[shaggy]

Will this be implemented on the YAK and other prop aircraft so we can create missions and take off with the YAK from homemade airfields.

Yeah, +1 for making the Yak52 spawning anywhere on ground please :thumbup:

 

 

For now I did grass airfield, but I can't spawn there, I need to come here by flight :(

 

 

It would be awesome if we can make cold start here :)

 

 

[Bourrinopathe]

Yes, please! This has to become available for the Yak.

The STOL capability and good shock absorption make it possible to operate the Yak on small unprepared airfields.

We need this ;)

[ This might be already planned but not included, so maybe that's why it should be in the bug section? Otherwise, I guess a wishlist would be more appropriate. ]

+1 Yes please!

 

 

@astazou ... that is such a cool airfield you've made there. I do so hope we can cold-start all our prop-aircraft on one of those sometime soon.

[Tippis]

Yup. Looks very neat — good job.

Can you get them to provide services too, because that has always been a bit iffy?

[astazou]

And here we go, the mission with the grass airfield :

propland_v1.3.miz

[ElementLT]

hot damn that is awesome! good work!

This is how you spawn client planes on the ground where you place your plane in the editor:

Go to your main game directory\MissionEditor\modules\me_route.lua.

Edit the me_route.lua by adding this

actions.takeoffGround,

actions.takeoffGroundHot,

to plane_one_point and the plane_first_point sections.

It should look like this:

 

plane_one_point = {

actions.turningPoint,

actions.flyOverPoint,

actions.takeoffRunway,

actions.takeoffParking,

actions.takeoffParkingHot,

actions.landing,

actions.takeoffGround,

actions.takeoffGroundHot,

},

plane_first_point = {

actions.turningPoint,

actions.flyOverPoint,

actions.takeoffRunway,

actions.takeoffParking,

actions.takeoffParkingHot,

actions.takeoffGround,

actions.takeoffGroundHot,

 

I believe it is only the mission creator that need this edit.

In the mission editor you will now have the option to select takeoff from ground and takeoff from ground hot in the waypoint type list.

Nice! Thank you, I will try that.

 

It's not a problem for the integrity check on multiplayer?

It probably will be a problem for IC.

[Agent_wolf]

It probably will be a problem for IC.

How does the IC Check work?

I can join servers that has the integrity check activated, that require pure clients.

 

If it is a IC problem then just use the "fix" while making the mission and remove it when playing it I guess.

Exactly what I did, and it seems to work.

Thx :thumbup:

 

Here is the last version of the mission, Yak can coldstart from ground :)

propland_v1.5.miz

[Agent_wolf]

Cool. Thanks for the mission :thumbup:

 

Edit: This text is still in the briefing of your mission "Planes are spawing at Kutaisi or in flight close to points of interest (can't spawn on grass yet...)"

I'll correct that. thx ^^

 

 

And thank you SUNTSAG, screens look great! but I don't want to use mod, I prefer play vanilla to pass the integrety check online. Also I don't want to make other pilots to install mods I chose ;)

Not sure if this is the same as what I have but there is a JSGME Version I have which does the same thing and there are 0 IC issues. IIRC you can even design missions with it and people who join the server don’t need the mod for it to work for them. We did this with the Fighting Legends Server at some point and the only real issue was people who found it more difficult to takeoff in the grass than on the runway.

Sounds like the same one, I have mine JSGME/OvGME ready with the edited lua in it. I did download another one with the me_route.lua and a me_authorization.lua in it but that one crashed the game, had to remove the me_authorization.lua to make it work.

The propland mission is quite fun. I think my only gripe about it, which is more a gripe about DCS visibility, is that the tires marking the airstrips are invisible until you're right on top of them.

Can you please post a download link for this mod?

[Agent_wolf]

This is the one I use

Ground Takeoff.zip

[msalama]

This is the one I use

 

Thank you so much Sir, downloading now :thumbup:

I changed the date, I put winter, and now it's easier to watch tires ;)

[Nealius]

Ah, so that's why it was winter! I changed it spring, and noticed the Yak is basically a lawn mower with the tall grass.

We could definitely use better markings for any unprepared airstrip. I wish it'd be easier to add and share (MP-compatible) custom static objects. Then we could use white/yellow stripes and other markings.

Something that could be added to the very long DCS wishlist, but that would also end up very low in their priority list.
