western_JPN Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Already discussed issue in 3rd Party - Ugra Media section. or Civilian planes topic in one upper level from here. And not only Syria map, but also Marianas map has the same trouble about Saipan airport. Those airports / airbases have limited size parking areas 56 meters long X 51 meters wide (or more less size). Longer X Wider aircrafts like A330 / B747 cannot be placed as Takeoff from ramp / parking hot or taxi to spots after landed. That decision is made by length and wing_span values written in each mods' lua files. So, we can edit their lua files to change those values decreased to trick Mission Editor or DCS AI engine as talked in those topics. For a fundamental solution, ED and UM will change those maps' airports / airbases parking area limit settings to allow A330 / B747 parking. 2 Modules: A-10C/II, F-5E, F-14A/B, F-15E, F-16C, F/A-18C, AV-8B, FC3, Ka-50-2/3, UH-1H, Mi-8MTV2, SA342, Mi-24P, AH-64D, P-51D Maps: Nevada, PG, Syria, SA, Sinai, Channel, Normandy2.0 Assets etc.: CA, Sc, WW2AP Mods and Skins in User Files: files/filter/user-is-western0221/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dahlbeck Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 What happens if you try to park a B-52 or any of the big AWACS/tankers on those airfields? Skickat från min H8324 via Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAF Akrotiri (Cypros, Syria map) denies B-52 starting from Ramp as same as A330. E-3A / KC-135 are based on Boeing 707 (or its prototype) and not so large ( 46.6 m X 44.5 m ) and OK. C-17 ( 53 m X 51.8 m ) can spawn there ..... even the number of available spots is very limited. I haven't checked Saipan with the biggest taxi-able ED stock aircrafts. But perhaps 1 or 2 spots maybe available by C-17 / B-52. Tinian is limited. C-17 or IL-76MD cannot taxi there, I saw. Well its parking space looks small guessing impossible to treat them. 1 1 Modules: A-10C/II, F-5E, F-14A/B, F-15E, F-16C, F/A-18C, AV-8B, FC3, Ka-50-2/3, UH-1H, Mi-8MTV2, SA342, Mi-24P, AH-64D, P-51D Maps: Nevada, PG, Syria, SA, Sinai, Channel, Normandy2.0 Assets etc.: CA, Sc, WW2AP Mods and Skins in User Files: files/filter/user-is-western0221/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
