Add a delayed start option to AI Aircraft so you don't have to faff with uncontrolled/start etc..

[TEMPEST.114]

It's so hard and a time-sink to make airfields feel alive and populated...

I just want to put aircraft on the airfield, and set that 'START  time to be the time I want them to start up - but they still be visible and exist on the airfield until that time.

I know it's possible if you make them 'UNCONTROLLED' then add a START advanced waypoint action and then CREATE A TRIGGER AT DESIRED START TIME TO SET START... but what a time wasting and overly-complicated amount of faffing for something so trivial?

Just allow them to 'exist' and be visible but not start until their manually changed 'start' time.

Agree with you here, or at least, automatically create "START" task when "Uncontrolled" is checked.
