Human controlled vehicle spawns?

[92 Sqn. Philstyle (QJ-P)]

Hi all,

Does anyone here know how to make a spawn point that will allow me to spawn in a vehicle?

This code does not work;

Sound like "armour" should be replaced with "tank"....
:doh:

Now that's a clever little trick there Phil :thumbsup: Does it work?

[Vencejo]

A little bump...

You need to initially place a birthplace for aircraft spawn in Full Mission Builder, and use any single aircraft, I usually use the Tiger Moth for a British tank spawn or a Su-26 for a German. Place the spawn off a field... and remember what number spawn it is.

Then you need exit the game, and open the mission file. Then replace the Tiger Moth or Su-26 with whatever vehicle you want. (remembering that not all vehicles can be used, see TF 4.0 Read Me)

Use 'Tank' prefix before the name.

You should place lots of vehicle spawns not just one, since players who abandon their tanks after spawn can easily block the spawn, same thing if one player spawns in just after another. Usually I place one spawn per tank type.

Remember if you re-open the mission in FMB after adding the tanks, to change anything, the game will change the text and will delete the tanks, so the manual text edit is the last thing you do before launching it as a dogfight mission.

Back up your edited mission file.

thanks for the reply
I followed the instructions but I not have vehicles available.
The dogfight mission is launched online, in both modes, out off any airfield (in the middle of London) but I have only aircraft available, when I add it in the mission file.
This is my test mission:

I'm sure there is something stupid, but I can not know what is.
Any ideas, please?
