almonds Posted September 8, 2012 Posted September 8, 2012 Is it possible to create touch and go landings in the mission editor? Or have the plane land, taxi, and then take-off to simulate hot pit refueling? I have set up a way point 1 for landing and way point 2 as a fly over point, however the AI lands then shuts down without attempting to take off. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Exorcet Posted September 9, 2012 Posted September 9, 2012 You might be able to use triggers to shut off a flight that lands and then activate a new clone flight to continue the mission.

Good idea. So far I have been having the AI fly over the flight line at really low altitude and speed "The art of simulation design is about understanding limited fidelity... ...compromises must be made.

Zolitnitsky Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 Halt on the airfield I've been experimenting a lot with this, and even tried to find ways to have an aircraft stop at the runway during taxing. I used the clone thing mentioned above in some cases and in some more or less successful attempts I parked vehicles in front of aircraft. However, changing weathers and other variables made it start taxing from different locations thus affecting the triggers. If you wanted the plane start moving again you just disabled the vehicles with a trigger. Well, maybe there is some advanced mod or tweek for this but I'm not skilled enough. Perhaps an overkill feature but let's just say I like experimenting with less military and more adventure-like story-based missions, pushing the boundaries as it seems :weight_lift: :thumbup: !
