Fixed Wing FARP

[H60MTI]

If this has been answered, my apologies. Is there a way to add FARPs in the game? Looking for both fixed wing and rotary wing. Ideally I would like to have a FARP off of a hard ball to have an A-10 roll into and one out in the middle of nowhere, like a FOB or PB, for rotary wings to land at. Fuel and armament would be awesome but mostly fuel.

There are only FARP for helis available. You can find them under static objects - heliports. 

If you want a FARP for fixed wings, you need to find either an abandoned airfield or a straight piece of road and then place an invisible FARP there. You can find it at the same place as above.

Invisible FARP? That's a new one Lol

The normal FARP has an edge that you can either not drive over with fixed wing or it will break their gear, so an invisible FARP has been implemented so that these aircraft can also be treated on a FARP.

Interesting...I'll have to check that out.

The normal FARP is also ugly, and seemingly harkens back (by the looks) of Win65 gaming. The invisible FARP looks much better because... uh. yeah.

Use the singular (non-raised) helipads and an invisible farp for much, much better visuals and much, much better flexibility when setting up your mission. 5 Minutes well spent. Roadside FARPS are still tricky for fixed wings (except perhaps Hornet and Harrier) on many maps because many planes get stuck in the ground should they roll over grass or similar, so you'll need some testing.

I know what you're talking about with the getting stuck part. I've had to use full burner before to get rolling if I happened to run off the edge of the runway or skidded off due to damage and had to get repaired in the sod.
