Hello all. I'm trying to create a single player mission, but I'm finding it very difficult to find any information whatsoever on even spawning, let alone making a complex mission; the sole tutorial on here (made by Prangster) only deals with spawning in a multiplayer map. So, if it's ok with you guys, I'd like to ask a few questions to get me started. 

 

Basically, I want to create a formation of bombers that fly over Stalingrad and bomb it while being shot at by AA. I want to spawn in a russian plane on the ground so I can observe it. My first question is, how do I spawn on the ground at Stalingrad? All of my attempts simply result in me being placed in spectator mode miles away. Frustrating to say the least.

 

Thanks in advance to any replies.

Still having trouble. I have a single plane named "player" with it's AI set to Player. When the mission is loaded, the plane does not spawn and the camera is in the middle of nowhere unable to move. Please someone help.

Double check that your player plane really is set to "Player". If you copy a player plane to make an AI plane, the copy automatically becomes the player plane and the original changes to an AI plane. If you don't realize this and change the copy to AI, now you are left with two AI planes and nowhere to spawn in.

 

You can also check that you have unlocked the skin and weapon load that you specified.

 

Also, in the mission properties, make sure that the GUI map matches the terrain selected.

Got it, GUI map was set to Stalingrad but terrain wasn't. My own stupid fault.

Great! Not stupid though. It's easy for anyone to miss the details sometimes.

Haha, thanks Jim. i've figured out adding planes, formations and all that jazz. Only question I need to ask now really is how to get the planes to drop bombs simultaneously?
