Hi, I was attempting to do a build of Torpedo 8's attack at Midway (have to use TBF's since no TBD's in the game), but after attempting several times to put Zeroes on the Akagi flight deck, I just can't seem to do it with out the planes blowing up every time the game starts!

Is there some trick or control combo to pull this off? I've tried zooming the map all the way in until I can see the carrier flight deck and then carefully put 1 Zero right in the middle of the deck. Then for the first waypoint I've tried first the "takeoff" and then the "landing" setting, but start the game and.....BOOM!

I think it might be because the altitude setting for the first waypoint is at "0," but I've tried altering this by setting in different heights, but all with negative results.

Any ideas or tips for this?

Excellent FMB tutorial site: [/url]http://www.il2-fullmissionbuilder.com/first-mission.php[url]

To your specific question. You want a flight of planes to takeoff from a carrier deck:

1. place the flight somewhere close to (but not on) the carrier
2. set the flight's first waypoint to "takeoff"
3. press the set button on the bottom of the waypoint dialog
4. put the mouse cursor on the carrier - it should have changed to a crosshair shape
5. click on the carrier, this "attaches" that flight's takeover waypoint to the carrier
6. you're done

You can only put a limited number of flight on a carrier - about 4 flights (depending on the type). Anymore and the additional flights will airstart above the carrier.

Before you ask, you cannot place static aircraft (or any other static objects) on the carrier.

Pay attention to codes next time... You close tag first and open it in end
