Cant get ground crew to co-operate at airfield.

[Frogfoot1606687865]

Hi, I am generating my first mission and have hit a problem. My flight takes off from Batumi airfield which is under attack. The airfield is eventually over run and I have to divert to a fallback FARP to re-arm and refuel.

The problem I am having it that I can rearm/refuel/repair at the FARP no problem. (all required units present and correct) However I cannot do any of the above at the startup airfield. (Even before the attack has started.)

 

The manual says that as long as the control tower is OK, there should be no problem. Well even before a single shot has been fired there is no response from the tower or maintenance crew.

What have I done wrong? Any pointers would be gratefully recieved.

 

EDIT: I seem to have found the problem. I have several hostile MANPAD teams dotted around the airfield which are only activated when a blackhawk does a slow pass over the airfield (dropping special forces). However thede 'inactive' forces seem to stop me from rearming/refueling. If I delete them then there is no problem. It seems that the airfield is considered in enemy hands even though the units havent been activated yet.

Any comments or ways around this?

 

 

Cheers

Tom

the only quote I can say is "Thanks!", cause I got a similar problem in an old mission I made. Maybe now I could find another way to make it run :)
