BBall asked me about spawnign away from the runway. I remember doing this for some mission myself. You place the planes on the ground out in an open field. There are some missions where planes take off parallel doing so.

How close can airfield icons be to each other?

I will test, but I have an idea. The only downside is that in map view, the airfield icons show up, and I would be adding some.

What if we put an airfield icon on the map such that it was in a dispersal area? Possibly in a blast pen, even. We'd set them up such that in the readme it would be clear to mission builders that any "airfields" that show up in dispersal areas are for player aircraft only. Then, you can make missions where player planes start away from the runway...

that is what I have done in my Hawaii_ffb and Midway_ffb maps....the Runaway icon is actually some distance from where you will spawn though..... exactly one kilometre
