Rhinozherous Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 Hello! Is there still no way for choosing another parking then the default in the middle of the ship? When heavy the runway is too short. Would be nice to start at least from the elevator, would be easyier to taxi to the rear of the carrier from there.

AG-51_Razor Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 When you place the a/c on the Tarawa in the Mission Editor, there is a parking position choice of 1 through 5 I believe. I have built a mission with 2 client a/c starting on the deck and they are positioned on spots 1 & 2. If I select the second slot, I spawn on the position further aft than if I choose the first slot.

Jarlerus Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 +1 But isn't it not working on all carriers? Might be how (all) the carriers are designed at the moment :( Jarl at YouTube DCS Service Span and Wishlist Spreadsheet Forum post for discussion of above spreadsheet Retro Electro Playlist on Spotify
Rhinozherous Posted January 3, 2019 Author Posted January 3, 2019 Will trie again, last time I was able to select spot but was always on the middle spot. I am sure it is not working on the Hornets carrier right now, but I was hoping that it works on the Tarawa. i7-14700KF 5.6GHz Water Cooled /// ZOTAC RTX 4070 TI Super 16GB /// 32GB RAM DDR5 /// Win11 /// SSDs only DCS - XP12 - MSFS2020
fargo007 Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 I can say that in SP, spawning an MI-8 in parking 4 puts me in the back, clear of the house. Run the same mission in MP, and I spawn right next to the house, and shorten the rotors. Have fun. Don't suck. Kill bad guys. https://discord.gg/blacksharkden/

The LHAs were primarily designed for helicopter operations so you would think that the outboard spots (port side) would be designated for helicopters only. Doesn't seem like that would be a terribly difficult thing for RAZBAM or ED to figure out. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

It would be nice have to have heli's parked on the side and the main deck open for harrier's to come and go. But to get back to the OP's original issue, what I do in the mission editor is set my 2 ship harrier flight in parking spots 3 & 4. Seems to give enough room for those heavy takeoff's.
Nealius Posted January 4, 2019 Posted January 4, 2019 I typically just start up the engines, rotate nozzles full forward, and back up until I'm at the stern of the ship.
