Frogfoot1606687865 Posted March 6, 2010 Posted March 6, 2010 (edited) 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?

chromium Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 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 :) Author of DSMC, mod to enable scenario persistency and save updated miz file Stable version & site: https://dsmcfordcs.wordpress.com/ Openbeta: https://github.com/Chromium18/DSMC The thing is, helicopters are different from planes. An airplane by it's nature wants to fly, and if not interfered with too strongly by unusual events or by a deliberately incompetent pilot, it will fly. A helicopter does not want to fly. It is maintained in the air by a variety of forces in opposition to each other, and if there is any disturbance in this delicate balance the helicopter stops flying; immediately and disastrously.
