When i create a mission and i set the aircraft e.g fA18C, i dont get the option to start from cold. Only from hot. Any ideas?

Have you tried removing all mods and running a repair?

just managed to get on quickly before i leave for work, these are my only options

 

Did a quick check and on my DCS it works fine .. most likely you have a user Mod that is conflicting with DCS:

Like I said. Remove all of them and run a repair. Then check if it's okay and after that install one mod after another to see which one it is.

But then again you have the option to start from cold (takeoff from ramp) in your screenshot.

Ok will have to try and give this ago. Does take off from ramp mean cold start from end of the runway?

No, it will (or at least should) cause cold start on one of parking spots on ramp / apron.

There is no option for cold start at the end of the runway in DCS (although I wonder it one could make it work with "takeoff from ground" option, never tried it myself)

Yes that would work.

Ok this sounds promising. Ill have a play when im back. I presume if i have AI wingman he will spaw near me also. 

 

Ill also again. Lol.. remove the mods and add one by one to see what causes the issue. I had an issue with the VPN f35 last time. It kept crashing my maps in certain areas. May be that same  aircraft.. or not 🫣😃

Note: AI aircraft cannot use the takeoff from ground function. If xou have an AI wingman, you won't be able to use the takeoff from ground option.

Ah, a detail that slipped by.

Yes, then everything is as designed. No need to do a repair or remove mods.

Remove your wingman and the "takeoff from ground (hot)" option should appear.

 

Realize that AI has programmed pathing from ramps to the runway. You can't place AI anywhere on the ground, because they won't know where to go (they don't work like ground units which you can command to follow roads).

That's why with AI aircraft that don't need a runway (like the harrier and all helo's), you can set them to "takeoff from ground". As they will just take-off from that spot.
