Carrier Aircraft Issue

[tedcrowley18]

I have been starting recently doing mission editing and in the forums I have found various answers but none of which really align, so I figured I would go right to the source.

 

When I place aircraft on the carrier I wish to fly (client), if I place the aircraft on the ship with take off from ramp hot, or ramp (cold start), the aircraft spawn do two things:

 

1.) They don't spawn on the elevators as they should, but instead one spawns behind CAT 1 and then maybe one or two on the elevator.

 

2.) Players joining the game get the "your flight is delayed and will start shortly" error message.

 

This seems like a very easy fix on your guys end as to be able to setup the aircraft in the mission editor that are flyable by the players. Is there any chance we could get a fix for this in the next update? I am sure more mission editors and creators will appreciate that fix especially with the carrier based F-14B coming out soon.

 

Unless I am doing something wrong or have read something incorrect, I look forward to hearing from you guys.

 

Thanks!

There are many rabbit hole threads about this issue. It is an old and known issue about the spawn spots on the current Stennis. This year, ED is planning on releasing a functioning Nimitz class carrier with all the bells and whistles, but no one knows much about it. We all wish they would at least implement some type of fix to allow more spawn spots or at least let you choose where you want to spawn. Here's some details from the DCS Roadmap thread and other links:
