saburo_cz Posted October 20, 2021 Posted October 20, 2021 (edited) Three spawn points are at new airfield on Pagan island in mission editor. They seem to be inactive or whole airfield. It is not possible to use them. If i put plane or helicopter and set it to Takeoff from ramp / Takeoff from parking hot, the plane is moved to nearest active airport spawn point at Saipan Int. Takeoff from RWY is not possible too. Takeoffs from ground/ground hot are the only options for spawn plane at Pagan airfield.

Recoil16 Posted October 20, 2021 Posted October 20, 2021 That is correct. This is as a result of the airfield being categorized as closed/inactive. You will notice that the same behavior applies to Northwest Field and Orote Field on Guam. I suppose this categorization is warranted, given that Pagan Airstrip (the field we're talking about here) is listed as "closed indefinitely" in the A/FD. I guess you could ask for this behavior to be changed in terms of the DCS Core, but it isn't really a Marianas issue as it stands. Everybody said: "That's impossible!" Then someone came along who didn't know that and just did it. Flying the A-10C for the 107th Joint Aviation Squadron Developing and creating missions for Through The Inferno Join the TTI Discord
Nealius Posted October 21, 2021 Posted October 21, 2021 If they are closed or inactive, why are there parking spots labeled? This typically isn't the case even for active bush strips in other maps. 2
J-1775 Posted October 22, 2021 Posted October 22, 2021 (edited) Why can't ME allow for a change of that status? Could be the most comfortable solution. Edited October 22, 2021 by J-1775
Diesel_Thunder Posted October 22, 2021 Posted October 22, 2021 That airstrip is also only 1,500 feet long. For DCS purposes, you'd only want to use a chopper on that island.

Nealius Posted October 23, 2021 Posted October 23, 2021 Yak-52 could most likely operate on 1,500ft. I did get a Spitfire with 100% fuel and a 500kg bomb off too, but landing was another matter. I could probably stop her with a nicely timed 3-pointer if I can come in shallow enough. Need to chop down that tree on the coast side.
scampaboy Posted October 24, 2021 Posted October 24, 2021 It would be good for practicing harrier farping. I’ve set up a little helicopter base but it’s just a long flight to the main islands, really good for sea rescue missions.
