Do I have to use the spawn area aircraft list to tell the sim what aircraft I am placing on the runway or can I skip the spawn area stage.
My steps are:-
1. object browser>airfield with airfield runway option chosen
2. Ctrl click the airfield which already has a runway set up, and get a second airfield.
Q1. Not sure if I have to move the 0 spawn point anywhere or leave it at due west of my click.
3. ctrl click again amongst trees and get a runway, make its width 2000m and length 2m
Q2. not sure if I do what they do in tutorial videos such as Boyezee or Phil Style and delete all aircraft from spawn list then add Bf109E1 to allowed list. Do I need this lost to allow my creation of a Bf109E1 on the runway ? I am not spawning as such am I ?
4. go object browser select aircraft and ctrl click on the icon at centre of this very thin runway.
5. select the aircraft and make its object browser settings take off, fuel zero, choose its unit and markings.
Q3. do I make it player, that way I could open the canopy for a better effect.
Q4. If so, when I have added a few more, can I select each one and make it player and open canopy or will others shut back up ?
8. to create a second aircraft I need to create another airfield, and repeat steps above.
Is that correct, or can an airfield have many runways ?
Q5. How do these aircraft get to taxi from the trees and take off down the airfield runway, the runway that was already set up on Caffiers by me a few months ago ?
surely they will try and take off on their 2m long runway and fail ? How will they cope if their 2m long runway is in the rough area on the perimeter of the airfield ?
So as to see what happens by ignoring spawn area list, I have added an Me109E1 made it player, 6_JG51 skin. Play mision and its sitting out on the airfield runway. exit sim and delete the runway and airfield that went with it. play and still its out on the runway. Also its a strange pale desaturated colour, and bright green and red fiery blobs about the cockpit.
mission files attached here.
How do I stop it sitting out in middle of airfield ?
