bart Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 Hi all, I've downloaded a few missions but one in particular I like to use as a practice mission to sharpen the skills.....I'm fairly new to this great sim. Thing is this mission has a runway start and I'd like to have a ramp (cold) start in it but I'm not sure if the missions are locked when you download them. I've tried to change it in the mission breifing screen but it seems to be locked. Is there anyway around this? Cheers for any advice......

Jona33 Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 Open it in the mission editor. Click on your plane's first waypoint. There should be a drop down that says take off from runway. Change that to ramp, hit save and then go fly! Always remember. I don't have a clue what I'm doing
shagrat Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 You need to load the mission into the Mission Editor, click on the Plane icon, and in the right pane, look for Waypoint Block. There go to WP 0 then look for a pulldown menu where you can choose "Ramp Start" - now there should be a parking position available, also. For reference read the GUI Manual, after the Menu part comes detailed explanation of the ME interface...
