correct as is Battle for Saipan: Hitchhiker Instant Action, Apache starts in the air instead of on the Arleigh Burke

Editing the mission file in the mission editor shows that the helicopter should be on the destroyer, but for some reason it is showing up in the air (and it is impossible to complete the mission since you need to refuel/rearm)

works fine for me. perhaps you have a corrupted install?

did you try a DCS repair? do you have any mods running?

[AchilleGRC]

I am using the Steam openbeta version, did an integrity check through Steam, renamed my Saved Games\DCS folder, but the same thing happens. The only mod I had installed was DCS-SRS, but I guess it is gone with the folder removal.

Any other suggestions?

I have no idea how the Steam variant works. However, it appears that your installation might not be loading the Arleigh Burke. If you create a new mission in the Mission Editor, can you place an Arleigh Burke on the map?

Hi, 

I have tested stand alone and steam and I can not reproduce, both start on the rear helipad of the Arleigh Burke for me.

OK, this is really weird...

I just tried on another computer, (installed via Steam) does exactly the same thing.

If I change the Arleigh Burke to another ship, it works as expected.

If I change the helicopter to be controlled by the CPU, it starts on the helipad.

But if I try as a player on the Arleigh Burke, it always shows up in the air. On both computers. On any map. Like it is not snapping to the landing pad.

Even weirder, I just realized that the other computer is not on openbeta...

Maybe it is some weird timing issue? Both computers have rather slow graphics cards (GeForce GTX970, Intel Iris).

Is there a way to log exactly what happens during spawning to see what may go wrong?

Question: Is the Supercarrier module maybe required in order to have a player on top of the helipad of the Arleigh Burke? Because I don't own this module.

[BIGNEWY]

Yes, I should have remembered this, Arleigh Burke is part of the supercarrier DLC

thanks
