Spawning on Stennis' PRKs

[Infiltrator]

I've been trying to spawn on any parking bay but PRK1 as it's too close to the CAT. Even though I can still steer onto the CATs from PRK1 I'd still like to spawn elsewhere, but it seems regardless what PRK I choose I continuously spawn at 1. If I use static aircraft to block bays 1 and/or 2 my aircraft will not spawn.

 

Is this a bug because I cannot find a workaround.

Are you sure you're using NWS HI, instead of regular NWS?

 

I never had trouble reaching the cat from parking 1 (it is indeed a bit close I admit)

Yes I'm using NWS HI, I just want to spawn from another parking spot given you're given the option of 1-4 in the editor.

Have 3 planes spawn immediately and spawn your plane 2-3 seconds later...

This option works right now only for "spawn in runway/cat" #1-4. The parking spots aren't able to change yet. Maybe with a carrier Modul?

 

Workaround with spawning other planes might work.

 

Because the F18 is WIP I think that will change sometime in the future.

Thank for the replies guys. I'm happy that it's not me not doing anything wrong. We're in OpenBeta so these things are to be expected.

It's what I do to make the startup in my training missions look more alive.

Just spawn an AWACS on the CAT 3, start from parking an escort of 2 F-14 and a CAP of 2 F-18C.

Then simply set the Start time for your Player Group 3-5 sec late.

So the mission on start will fill up the slots on the six-pack first and you'll get to spawn on one of the elevators. Careful in MP. You might still accidentally spawn with another player in the same spot...

I am pretty sure Wags said they want to revamp the ATC to accommodate carrier ops. My guess is, this will go in line with fixing spawning, taxiing etc.
