If it ends up on the roof then you can't. Report with a sample mission attached.

I'am trying create a mission using ground crew for realism, if you still can't place ground crew under a roof 2023, i think that's pritty weak on DCS (Egale Dynamics) behalf, "Come-on Guys" pull finger out, there's still a heap of basic stuff in the program which need attention or fixing, sorry about whinge guys, but that's the way it is !!!

Do you realize that this "basic stuff" is free? ... sure, it has limitations, but it's free ... think about it before whining.

 

As an alternative you could try some user Mods, that are also free (tough you can tip the creators if you like their stuff):

Here I used just a couple of Mods (VPC Airfield objects, and massun's 92 objects) ... and they work at night too:

Last time I checked Nevada was fifty bucks 🙂

And the correct shelters are already at their correct locations at Nellis: why must I rely on some mods to recreate them elsewhere?

As suggested, attach a sample mission and file a formal bug report. Or you can use mine.

You are right, I failed to notice that the complaint was about specific NTTR shelters, and not about the ground crew objects that the basic DCS offers. Sorry for the misunderstanding. 😞

Hi there, Rudel_chw

Wondering what's this Miz file for (NTTR_Roof_spawn.Miz), and how do i create one for the mission i'am trying to put together on the Nevada map.

Also it might help if you explain how to get and install these 3party add-in ground crew that other's use in DCS  Thank You.

The Massun’s Pack is the easiest to get, the first post of  this thread has a download link and detailed instructions:

 

 

Here is a catalog that I did, where you can see the dozens of objects that this pack adds to DCS

The other assets pack, VPC airfield objects, is much harder to get and install, so maybe its better if you start with the one from Massun first, to get a feel for this type of Mod.

It's just a saved DCS mission file. The one you should have provided in the bug report.

Just wanted to highlight this short video, showing off the animated ground crew that the pack added on its last updates:

Hi there again,

Wondering how is this DCS Ground Crew -Massun92's Asset Pack installed, and also where do i send this miz file with the problem in it ?  

By the way just remembered i'am still on version 2.5.6.6 and Win 7, hanging out for Intel's Arrow Lake before i make the change to Win 11 or what comes next, would  this Massun92's Asset Pack even work with this version (2.5.6.6)?

Honestly, that’s a 2.5 years old version, I have no way to know if this Mod would work on it or not, you would have to try and test. Also, any bug report that you make will probably not be useful, as I doubt that ED is still giving support for older versions.

At least now we know that this issue has been sitting there unaddressed for years 😄 

And even if ED fixes it, they will do so only for the current DCS version, so the OP wouldn't be able to benefit from it anyway.

So, it´s easy with a little trick, think about the altitude of this placed object. Place your object near the shelter or whatever and push it in (drag it) so it has the same altitude as the surrounding ground. Placing an object on top of the shelter ends up on top of the shelter. Try it out.

Just tried it, on the Nevada map, it doesnt work, the object ends up over the roof  😞  ... maybe it is a Map bug?

It looks like there's not much use of uploading this miz file now, especially because of my version of (DCS 2.5.6.6), I will let guys sort the problem with DCS Tech People

i'am surprised the problem is still there after all this time, nobody has bothered to raise the problem with DCS !!

It looks like my complaint with DCS was premature and i retract my previous statement ( I Think That's Pritty Weak On DCS Egale Dynamics Behalf, "Come-On Guys" Pull Finger Out)

and I'am very sorry DCS for that comment in my post, need to get my facts right in the future before making such statements
