Spawn points at the airfield in MP

[=LG/F=Kathon]

Is it possible to define many spawn points at the airfield in MP or plains spawn always exactly at the same place at the airfield (place determined by the airfield icon position)?

~S~ Kathon,

 

Spawn points are determined by the 2 different fakefield Airplane Icons, you can limit the type and numbers of aircraft available for each one though.

 

One is line abreast, and the rnwy one is line abreast, and columned. You can place them anywhere. But in certain cases you'd want to limit AC to just 1.

 

So yes, you can assign as many "Spawnpoints" as you like / need for any airfield.

 

Keep in mind there are also Taxi Waypoints for each one, so setting many different ones at the same airport, or even failure to do so, may result in AI havoc.

 

For just having many different Spawn Point choices for players where No Ai will be Taxiing, Taking Off, or Landing, it should be no problem otherwise.

 

In Mission Building, especially in BoS, resource management has become more important (and annoying) than ever. Less is more, bang for buck, .etc.

 

The biggest tax on a system is when the AI either Taxi, Takeoff, Land, or Bomb. Those routines almost always trip the "Multiplayer Server Overload", so be advised.

 

Oh and one last note, the Ai when used, will not Taxi, Takeoff, or Land if the runway is foul (someone on it) until it is clear (no one on it) just like in IL-2 1946 missions.

 

Good Hunting,
