Hello,

I am trying to build a mission that reqiures the player to taxi their aircraft from inside a hangar (object 378) to the take-off point at the runway. However, no matter what I do, or where I place the aircraft's take-off waypoint, upon starting the mission, the player aircraft gets placed on the take-off point on the runway, not inside the hangar, where I want the mission to start.
Similar missions by other authors that I downloaded seem to have the same problem; the plane either spawns at the take-off point on the runway, or crashes upon opening of the mission, due to altitude being 0 in the first waypoint. However, this only seems to happen on European theatre maps, while on Pacific maps I can taxi out of hangars at the start of missions as much as I like.
Is this a map-related problem? I am using the Kiev map for the mission I am building.
I would much appreciate it if anyone could let me know how to get the player's plane to spawn not on the take-off point at the start of the mission.

Thanks,

RB

I'm going to assume you're trying either Single or Co-op missions. Here's the topic you're looking for to create take off locations at the places you want:

Read the thread carefully, there are some serious consequences if you use this mod and someone you hook up with doesn't. I use this and find it's great when I'm offline but my buddy won't use the mod so I have to disable mine to fly with him

Good luck.

Great days all.

you can sometimes but fidgetty.
instead of 4 planes etc make single plane sets.
inside your habgar place the same sort of plane in it but make it a "stationary" plane. Take note of what order you had placed them.
when mission is made, go into mission file and look for "born place" you will see the co ordinate numbers there,
Look also for your stationary planes and cut / paste their co ordinate numbers over the active planes co ords. delete then the stationary planes as you wont need them

it works in most places but sometimes it can be annoying and wont play ball.

remember to make sure you have placed your stationary plane in a good place inside the hangar as you will be using it's co ordinate numbers. Use cut paste instead of copy as you dont want to have a plane siting in your hangar already too LOL

hope this halps

IGNORE what I had just said,,I couldn't get it to work there, it will sometimes work in spawn places dog fight, but not in coop.... again sorry...

Thank you Plantoid1, sharkzz and Easy Rider for your helpful suggestions. I downloaded the mod that reduces airfield influence and it worked like a charm. Now I can take off from almost wherever I want. Even older missions generated by other users invloving taxiing and take-off from unusual locations now work fine. The mission I was building when I posted my initial question is intended to be part of a static offline mini campaign.

Thanks again for your help,
