To avoid runway incursions during landing!!

I think that when on maps when only one runway is available that landing pilots should land on the taxi ways to avoid collisions with spawning/departing aircraft. Does anyone else agree? I've hit planes that have spawned when I was in the flare and have been hit by landing planes when I've just spawned. Take off roll can be dangerous as both pilots cant see over the nose of the plane and by the time the pilot taking off can see over the nose its often too late.

aircraft shouldn't spawn on RWY. Even in ROF they spawn at the hangars.

^This.  Planes should ideally spawn elsewhere - even if it's just on a taxi-way a few yards from the runway.  Also when I'm coming in to land, I always kick a little rudder several times to try to verify it's clear. Haven't had a problem on Syndicate/Eagles' Nest where most players are really good about this (and spawn in parked mode).

On every realistic server they dont spawn on the runway

This is why people use their navigation lights when they're on the runway, and landing...

.. Otherwise, this is just the normal mojo in the normal servers.

Silky (we've played with you a bunch btw...good guy!),

 

The issue I think they're discussing is a player coming into land...and a plane spawning underneath them right before they touch down.  The incoming player can't help where he spawns ---- the landing player can't magically see through his plane.

 

End result, collision for both.  Thus the OP is suggesting landing pilots land somewhere else to avoid this happening.

Never had a thought about this problem in my He-111.  :biggrin:

However, I wouldn't agree to land on taxiway. As spawning on the DServers is set to parkposition, I don't see a problem in this topic. And over it should be clear, that, who want to enter the runway, have to look out for free space. It also helps, if the players would communicate like: "Damaged Bf-109 on final aproach at Pitomnik with landing priority on lane 2." or something like that. So everybody knows, a damaged plane is comming in, etc

Right, but we're talking about some servers which I guess are set to spawn on the runway...we all agree this is dumb, so I'd prefer to see it solved server side.  I believe the default "normal" mode servers spawn your plane on the runway like that.  Just sucks...

This happened to me last night on EU expert server; with not many in it, we have been using this to help each other with circuits & TnB.

 

However on my last (good) landing, was right on the numbers ( albeit under the snow) & BAM right into a 109 which spawned on touch down.

 

Can we get a poll or something to ask server admin to make spawning occur either on parking or taxi way?

 

Cheers
