Please add a FARP trigger zone in ME

[Warmbrak]

This is a re-post from one that I made in the ME editing section a few months ago, but with no response from ED. A response on whether this is possible would be greatly appreciated.

 

Problem

While FARPs are great for helicopters, it is not friendly towards fixed-wing aircraft. Many have tried to place a FARP with a corner on a road so that if an aircraft touches it with a wheel, it is able to refuel/rearm. Others have made great objects to try and help with this, but there is always an issue with the placement of these objects, and in most cases these simply do not work, or destroy the aircraft in the process.

 

Request:

Can ED please consider adding a FARP trigger zone that can be created in the ME that will allow mission builders to place a little area on a road where aircraft can be rearmed and refuelled? Bonus would be to spawn an aircraft at these points on the ground.

 

Optional Request

Mod creators (such as the excellent DCS Marsden FARP have tried to overcome this issue, but it is impossible to place these objects flush with the ground. Objects like these really create interesting gameplay opportunities, but are held back by something in the terrain system that makes it impossible to place unless the ground is perfectly flattened in advance by ED.

Please consider extending a hand to these modders to help make these mods fully functional.

Well they haven't responded in over 5 years to the multitude of posts on the silly collision model and angle of their farps caused by... the crappy terrain engine. So unless you know someone at ED you can come sit on the bench with the rest of us and we can bemoan the world without fixed wing airbases.
