Away from Airfield Engine start - Gypsy9 - 20.12.2009

Hi Guys,
I have found that some aircraft will not start away from an airfield, but some will why is this? I would like the early Russian aircraft 1-16 1-15 bis to start away from airfields for a Spanish civil war campaign is it possible? I Love taking off and landing on roads as some ground just tips the aircraft over on ts nose.

Build your missions on the Kurland map. Roads are the bases.

Neg on that the 1-15 wont start on a Kurland road

Tell how this works. I just went in FMB--HSFX-V4.1 with History mod active.
Built a small mission with only I-15 as planes at the HOME base.Save said mission as a NET\dogfight
I took off in the I-15 with wheels.NO PROBLEM.
Hey the SKI's worked also.

Put the test runway on the road. There is an invisible runway.

I did not need to put ANYTHING test or other wise on the
map. Some of the roadways are marked and use those as a home base.
It works.

I'm SAS fresh install 409 The home base only works at an airfield. I guess the test runway is worth a try I have looked for it but have been unable to locate it any idea where it is or where i can download it please.

Ahh I can see now Skyomish and it does work trouble this is for a Spanish civil war campaign. I think that the real 1-15 and 1-16 were cranked over with a truck hence that bit sticking out of the prop Impossible to swing the prop if you came down a limitation for a war plane. Thanks for your help guys

Test Runways have been in vanilla il2 since PF IIRC, and are listed at the end of Ships menu in FMB. Treat as aircraft carrier for take off and landing , ie. set runway as "target " for 1st waypoint. I don't think the 1-16 or I-153 will work there though.
Recall problem on the Italy online map where you were/are unable to start on one of the airfields.
