working as intended Not a bug: F/A-18 AC Ramp placement issue

[BlackRook]

As I am now educated on the Street and such, I realize that this is Working as Designed.  Thanks to all.

 

v 2.7.9.17830

Setup steps:   Mission Editor: new Syria/PG/Cauc mission

1. Place CVN-74 Stennis (though Lincoln and Vinson exhibited same issue)

2. Place a F/A-18C on the carrier and setting WP0 to be 'Takeoff from Ramp'.

 

Results:

1. In ME, the graphic shows the plane at the CAT1 position, cannot unsnap it from that position to any parking area.

2. Plane spawns in center of deck. 

 

Deleting both Carrier and Aircraft and recreating does not resolve.
Able to reproduce on Syria, Persian Gulf and Caucasus.
Able to reproduce with CVN-74, -71 and -70 (stopped testing there).

Not a bug.

When you select to Takoff from CAT 1 to 4 it will show the correct position but when you select a Ramp start it positions the icon from CAT 1 even if you start from a elevator. As far i remember it was always like this. i rather have/wish a ramp positioning shown as in the AFB´s of course. And the center you mentioned it´s called The Six Pack it´s a ramp start, it´s correct. The pic show the spawn positions.

Interesting, thank you for that education!  I will study this.  I was confused because Wags' video on the ME for the Carrier doesn't mention this.  However, this time I rewatched the video, and at the end, the F/A-18s do spawn in The Street.
