Can't place aircraft inside the existing concrete shelters.

Can't place aircraft inside the existing concrete shelters. It places them on the roof.

Use 'start from ramp' and assign a parking spot using the dropdown menu. Some of parking spaces are on the ramp, some are in the shelters. Select a few until you get it where you want it.

 

If you need the make the aircraft stay parked for a while before taxiing out for takeoff, there is a way to do that -- but I think it may have changed in DCS World since A-10C 1.1.1.1 so I would need to research a bit more before I could answer.

 

EDIT: After checking I see that this info is still valid:

Still works like it did back in 1.1.0.9

 

It is a three step process.

 

1. Set your flight in a parked space, use the current mission start time (no delay).

 

Be sure to check the UNCONTROLLED check box, which is right next to the HIDDEN ON MAP checkbox, right under the callsign dropdown menus.

 

2. Go the Triggered Actions menu (next in line after the weapons/payload menu) and select Add. You want to select PERFORM COMMAND, and then select START.

 

3. Create one-time trigger to activate the flight. The Action you want is the AI TASK. Then you just select your START action for whatever flight you want to trigger.

 

Until you trigger it that way, you'll see the aircraft sitting there on the ramp, parked, with no pilot in it. Then when you trigger it, you'll the pilot appear in the cockpit and the taxi lights will come on. Magik!

 

If you do not want the aircraft to take off ever, just sit on the ramp (or in a shelter), then skip steps 2 and 3 and just let it sit there with an the 'uncontrolled' box check.
