Timm Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 Hi Guys, When starting a new mission and in the mission editor and you want to take off from a certain parking area can you put you aircraft in the area of your choice ? or is this governed by the game and places you any where ? One other small point : In the range mission I was taking off beside the two Hinds at the top end of the airfield, now when I start I am placed inside a compound at the other end, why is that ?

crazyeddie Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 Timm I'm pretty sure the takeoff and parking slots are all hard coded in the game, fixed wing transports start on the aprons and the smaller fighters/bombers in the hard shelters usually, if the airfield has them. I assume the same sort of rules apply to the helo's. The only way it would move you to another starting point is if there is something else in your original starting spot, have you placed a static, helo or a vehicle in or near the slot, that might do it.
Timm Posted January 28, 2009 Author Posted January 28, 2009 Hi Bud, Thats what I thought so when I took off there's nothing there, but what I have found is that the weather setting can change this. I normally fly (sorry) with no wind, but I have noticed that in the mission setting I have got a slight breeze, so I changed the weather setting to the default set, (no wind) and believe it or not I am back with the two KA-50 (Changed the aircraft). The two shots show what happens. The first one is I have saved the mission to start as "INSTANT ACTION" and the second shot is via the "MISSION" selection with has wind added as you can see and I have been put down in the compound. Spooky or what. Timm “Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. It comes to us at midnight very clean. It's perfect when it arrives and it puts itself in our hands.
