Problem with spawn at airfield (Single Player)

[41Sqn_Stormcrow]

I set up a mission where I wanted to have a squadron take off for a single player mission.

I inserted 12 planes and the first waypoint is marked as take-off on the field I want them to take off from. For this plane group I marked that they shall spawn as parked (I don't know if this is the word used in the English version of the fmb). They spawn nicely on the spots as indicated as spawn points on the map.

Now I have several problems:

1. But unfortunately two of them spawn in the German hangars for single engine planes and immediately explode. I fear that they spawn exactly on gras ground while the hangar is slightly above ground so that this leads to a collision making the planes explode. These hangars come with the channel map and have NOT been inserted by me.

2. A couple of seconds later all other planes except the player plane and two others just vanish. The remaining two start their engines.

3. And then do nothing.

4. Except the one that dips its nose into the ground as if it just accelerated without releasing its brakes.

What am I doing wrong?

My guess is their flight leader explodes.

Developers' advice is to use only airfields without small hangars for bomber missions. However I continue to ask them to introduce separate bomber spawnpoints to avoid this problem. Please report as bug-report if you want it to be fixed here http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=19629&page=40

Practical solution is to uncheck "spawn parked" and let them spawn on runway or change an airfield. ...Or to place a new airfield object on top of the default one.

Thanks, Atas.

I do agree with separate bomber spawn points. However I put singe engine planes on the airfield and two of them explode in the single engine hangar. I tried to put a static plane in one of these hangars to see if they fit and they do. So my suspicion is that they collide with the concrete floor of the hangar.

I also think that if for some reason the flight leader dies provision should be taken that the next follow up in ranks takes over and pursues the mission.

BTW I tried different options instead and together with the spawn parked. Including scramble take-off (except idle). The result is that they spawn somewhere in the sea ... :confused:

Please make screenshots of bugged hangars and report names of airfields in bugreports. E.g. hangars at Markiz were fixed after such reports as far as I know.

Airport is Desvres, it concerns ALL single engine hangars on it.

Currently my work around is to place objects into the hangars that prevents planes to spawn there

Here they spawn:

But now it is worse. They all spawn safely but as soon as they start their engines they are teleported over to the waters of the Channel where they do a dolphin jump and drown.


No, I am not kidding.

And here the hangars concerned (I guess the rest of the hangars produce the same results):

Confirmed, it happened to me on single player while flying QMB missions. The airfields were Calais-Marck and Le Havre-Octeville, i think Coquelles (west of Calais) is also affected in a similar way.

The moment you try to taxi from the hangar to the grass or vice versa, the aircraft bounces up like it just hit an invisible rubber wall and falls back down on the ground crashing.
