antiload Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 (edited) I tried to have the B52 AI take off from a number of large bases on the Syria map, as part of a SP mission, however, I cannot get the B52 to park. It will land at certain airfields, but one cannot start it cold, on a ramp. An error box appears stating there is no parking spaces for the aircraft.

RichCotte Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 What is the longest runway on the map? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ala13_ManOWar Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Is it a bug? I believe during the war those came in flight from Europe and US itself by air refueling, never landed or took off directly in the place. Maybe it's for a reason. 1 "I went into the British Army believing that if you want peace you must prepare for war.

We don't have Europe or the US in the Syria map though, so I think it makes sense to have options to park bombers even if that doesn't completely match reality. In fact there are quite a few "traps" that DCS map makers should be aware of. Parking issues, taxi issues, wind direction issues, runway issues. Until ED can figure those things out, I am 100% fine with fictional changes to air bases to make them more usable. 2 Awaiting: DCS F-15C Win 10 i5-9600KF 4.6 GHz 64 GB RAM RTX2080Ti 11GB -- Win 7 64 i5-6600K 3.6 GHz 32 GB RAM GTX970 4GB -- A-10C, F-5E, Su-27, F-15C, F-14B, F-16C missions in User Files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichCotte Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Pretty sure it’s a runway length issue. The BUFF needs a lot of real estate to get in the air, especially with a full load. I was stationed at Incirlik back in the 90s and I remember the C-5 pilots complaining about how they had to depart with minimum fuel if they were loaded heavy and then had to tank over the Med before departing the AO.

B-52 (and MAM's C-5 Galaxy) can be placed as "Takeoff from Runway" in Syria map; Incirlik, Akrotiri, Larnaca, Beirut, Damascus and more. And they succeed to take-off from there. Impossible is "Takeoff from Ramp" or "Takeoff from parking hot" as discussed in this topic. Changelog of ob patch 2.8.7 .42583 says: Quote DCS: Syria Map by Ugra Media Added parking places for big planes Someone knows which parking spots / which airbases are this ? I feel not so changed in this patch about the feature and B-52 cannot be placed in parking as same as older DCS versions. Is this improvement about C-17 or IL-76 size and not for bigger B-52 (and CAM's A330 / MAM's C-5) ?
