Problem with short runways
#1

When making an airport, sometimes to get it to have the real lenght of the runway it must be like 500 meters. All ok, you place the RUNWAY things , the waypoints and so...

When you test it, your aircraft spawns like 200 meters from the runway start. Anyway to fix this? , apart of making the runway 200 meters longer.

Put your spawn point closer to the runway?

You could move the red arrow further away ...this would move the planes onto the runway for takeoff... but then the A/I planes might make landings before they reach the runway. You'll have to play and test to get the right look. That's the problem with very short runways.
In my BurmaLower map I actually had to make some of Fabianfred's Thailand runways longer because of this problem.

Another thing you could do and I just thought of this. You could have two runways, on on top of the other. One of the red arrows on the runway for A/I landings and the other red arrow further away from the runway for good takeoff positions. Might be confusing to get to work right but it's just an idea and other players would have to understand how it works too.

Hmmm, wil try that. And other question...

When i have 2 RUNWAY (the red arrow thing) too close of each other, most of the time i can select only one for landing or takeoff, any way to solve this?

just have one icon for each strip at opposite ends.......at least you will be able to use both....
the default pacific islands one could only use one of the two strips...I had to seperate them wider apart to get them to work

yes, you could have the red arrows at opposite ends of the runway. One for landing and the other for takeoff.
