Place Aircraft units on road to start cold/dark?


Tj1376

Recommended Posts

Ok- what is the secret to get a cold/dark aircraft parked on the ground (not in a parking spot) in a cold and dark configuration without having DCS classify it as an AIR start?

 

Ive played in many multiplayer servers where this exists - where you have a Mig21 or a F5 at a 'roadbase' and they start cold/dark and on the road... When I pull the MIZ file from the multiplayer track, they look like an air start (at 6000+ ft moving along at 400 kts) but when you slot in, they are cold/dark and on the ground sitting still.

 

I am trying to duplicate this setup but not having a whole lot of luck. I know in the harrier there is a start option for this, but no such option exists for the Mig21 and F5... So how does this happen? What magic spell do I need to cast to spawn a player controlled cold/dark mig21 or F5 on a road?

Image below shows you the MIZ file where the F5 starts in the air (but I want it to start cold/dark on the road.)

And this screenshot shows the F5 in the multiplayer mission (where its working correctly.) You can see that the F5 is listed as a "Takeoff from ground" but no such option exists in the ME for this. How do I get my mission (above) to allow the F5 to 'takeoff from ground?'

Any help is much appreciated!

HI I get how to make my own missions  and put Planes on the ground.

 

My big question is, once you save the missions and revert the LUA to the original file, is there any undesired effects?

 

I want to make missions for may squad but most people do not mod their Install. Is there any draw back? Doe sit induce any bugs if its only Client Aircraft that Do start from ground?

Not doubting your honesty, but do you have a link to the source?

This should be it

Wow, that's actually very cool and good news :thumbup:

 

Not just for road bases, but It'll also for some original and unique starting locations on airfields

 

(I wonder if this will also allow us to place our aircraft anywhere on a carrier deck 🤔.... Would be awesome to be able to startup on the bow of the carrier)

2.7 is out but I don't see this option. Is there a way to activate it? 

 

It's on the mission editor:

i tried with the P-47 in the Marianas map but didn't see it 🧐

 

Place first on airbase, then change the type .. it works on my DCS:
