Starting a Helicopter from a Cargo Ship

[schurem]

Hi gang,

 

I wanted to build a mission where the player starts a Mi-24 from the deck of a cargo ship such as the Handy Wind. However, when I click it to start on ramp, it snaps to an airfield. If I click start on ground, a dialog pops up how the ship is not suitable ground. Help? Or am I desiring to do the impossible?

 

Cheers,

Did you find any solution or work-around to this? I just ran into the same problem, very frustrasting, especially since the cargo ships and some destroyers obviously have a dedicated helicopter landing position, so there really shouldn't be an issue to using the "take-off from parking hot" or similar option.

But it doesn't seem to work.

It works pretty well as you can see in this example.

Download the .miz and give it a try.
