4.12: Custom Airfields
 

As a mission-builder, I would like to thank TD for giving us runway plates and AI taxi waypoints in the FMB. For many years I've had to use various workarounds to make an area look and function like an actual airfield. Now I can create an airfield that not only looks good but can be a vital part of a particular mission.

Below are screenshots of a few custom airfields I have built in New Guinea, the Solomons and the MTO for my coop missions. Thanks again, Team Daidalos.

*Feel free to post some screenshots of your own custom airfields.

I keep runways close to the shore as it seems to deter bushes and trees spawning in on the field.
A few palm trees help keep pilots from hitting the Oleg trees during their landing cycle, as those trees are hard to see from horizontal.

Here's one that I started work on. It's the NW Europe map.

DT, Is there any way of avoiding having those randomly placed trees from popping up on the runways online? I'd prefer to avoid having to turn graphics settings down.

Those custom airfields are AWESOME and add fun!!
We just need liaison aircraft like the Po2 and the Stinson L5 to have fun landing in them!
Here mine in Salomons map!
I can land in all of them...:grin:

I created a secondary/emergency airfield SW of the main Airfield at Peleliu on Anguar Island. It also has a P.O.W. transition point for prisoners being transferred back from the front and a small port for supplies and heavy equipment unable to be flown in.

Bit of something different. Playing around with objects to see what I can craft.

Thinking about early war, 1939, Africa. When is the last time you shot down a Cant Z 506B Heron

What strategies are people using to get these fields to work online?

Static runway (stationary ship object) placed strategically? That seems to work. I haven't been able to tap into spawning into static aircraft or anything else... all I get is air starts.
