What about dispersal spawning? Using the technique where you place the "Runaway" arrow and the plane spawns exactly 1000m behind it? Should we provide such points on some fields?
Henderson springs to mind, perhaps Ondonga, Buka, Kahili, Vella Lavella.
Of course some of those are outside the airfield circle anyway (dispersals) so a regular normfly-->takeoff change then drop them might work without heroic measures.
I just tested the "runaway" arrow thing, and it works well. As long as it is a documented feature (for mission/campaign builders) I think it would be a great addition.
We should provide a screen shot of each field anyway, with all the taxi endpoints marked anyway, we can always put a circle around each "dispersal spawning" runaway object with an arrow tot he place the plane spawns. For larger installations like Hendereson/fighter one, prehaps 4-8 such points?
For smaller fields, 1-4?
This would certainly add flexibility.
