    Aircraft placement (minus default skins)

    Has anyone found a way to place aircraft in FMB with
    skins other than default .

    ie. with skins created by members etc.

    thanks

    Click on your aircraft object in the FMB, and select 'Properties' in the drop-down list.

    Left Click Object.jpg

    In the object dialog box click on the flight-number tab. I have #1 selected here (you may have more tabs showing for your mission).

    Number Tab.jpg

    Click the down arrow on the Skin drop-down list and choose the skin you have previously placed in your skin folder.

    You can see I have my 'Tiger Moth Halloween' skin selected.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks for your reply, Scones .

    However i don't have any problem placing them within the game (as you have done ) in the air.
    or on the ground in a take off position

    But it appears to be random where there spawn (normally in nearest hangers)

    What i would like to do is place aircraft accurately on the ground stationary (outside hangers etc )
    with skins other than default. A squadron of my choosing.

    Static aircraft can be placed this way but you are limited to their default skins.

    My original post wasn't clear so sorry for that.

    Re: Aircraft placement (minus default skins)

    I tried a little while ago to do this but only had partial success.

    I believe it is something to do with the 'hardwired' spawn points on the embedded airfields in the FMB maps.

    I did try the build your own airfield but did not pursue it.

    Have a look at this:

    Good luck and I shall be interested to hear how you get on.

    thanks Vampire

    I have seen same thing , "hardwired " but thought someone may have
    found a work around by now .

    They usually do in time.

    Thanks for link i will look more into it.

    These aircraft skins are excellent . A lot of time and work will have gone into them i'am sure.
    It would be nice if we could utilise them a bit more.

    cheers

    As far as I know the only aircraft at which you can't apply custom skins are the static ones.

    Had a little go at (Vampire ) link

    Not to good i'am afraid


    Set up x3 airfields plus runways shot_20191121_011934.jpg


    Play mission all aircraft spawn at same point and explode
    every time. No matter where i moved them on map they always spawned shot_20191121_012839.jpg
    at same point and exploded

    Then added a Spitfire ticked as player shot_20191121_013620.jpg

    Play mission . same thing . Spitfire ends up in explosion also shot_20191121_013734.jpg

    However the Spitfire always survives and rolls out of fire shot_20191121_013901.gif

    So will just have to wait until some clever person can show us a way

    I will go back and have some fun shot_20191109_182659.gif

    Hi Madshepherd,

    You have to create a custum airfield over the default airfield. Play with the spawn points. Try, and with more or less patience you will get it.

    look here:

    Take a look at this one ( ACG realised a very helpful series of video tutorials about the FMB )

    A few pics of UK human Stances some may find helpful

    As it is not always clear what stances the input line represents in FMB.

    Re: Aircraft placement (minus default skins)

    The video is what you need to pay attention to. Like mentioned above, you need to create an airfield over the existing airfield. As for the spawn point, make sure that it is closer in distance(and elevation) to the created airfield(not the static one). Then when creating points, you will start off with point 0. Follow the video ,and create additional points ([ctrl]+[b]) This will create a line connecting 0 to 1. then create another point with the same button([ctrl]+[b]), and it will create a line from point 1 to 2.
    From here select 0 again, then press the key([ctrl]+[b]) to create yet another point which will be disconnected from the first set.

    And example below

    Code:
    0
    
    
    0--1
    
    
    0--1--2
    
    
    0--1--2
     \
      \3--4
    The last point in the chain is the spawn[examples 2 and 4], and the point before the last one sets direction [example 1 and 3]

    The key here is to have the airfield point you created, and the spawn point 0 as close to each other as possible, and further away from the static points.
    Also you will spawn in the last placed spawn points first. an example with the above, you will spawn on 4 before you spawn on 2.
    Yet another thing to note, is that the numbers of the spawn points change[I think] with the last point placed having the lowest number.

    Let me know if this has helped, and I will try to throw some thing together later.

    Re: Aircraft placement (minus default skins)

    Hi all, bit late to the party I know... Can I ask, by placing a new airfield over the existing 'hard coded' airfield are you over riding the previously 'hard coded' spawn points?
