AI not taking off...please help

[santiagojamesaea]

Firstly,

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Secondly, i have used the ROF editor and been able to get the AI to take off, i have looked at the forum and not seen any answers, so maybe it's just me.

I'm trying to start a mission with an aircraft taking off (later on i want to use check zone/attack etc so it will attack bombers-i did this in ROF fine.)

Conditions

I'm using lapino/summer-not changing anything-weather conditions, wind is zero etc. I'm using the fake field in top left hand corner. The airfield is German as is the aircraft to take off.

 

Mcu's etc.

I place the 109, créate a linked identity, goto advanced property's make it German and place it "on runway". I then press "set on ground".

I then place a waypoint on the map, make it 500 metres high (y axis)goto advanced propert'ys and make it 250 wide and 300 kmh as speed. I then place a "missión begin" mcu and a "take off" command mcu. I TARGET link the" missión begin" mcu to the take off command. I then OBJECT link the "command take off" mcu to the aircraft(109).  I then goto advanced propertys of the aircraft and goto the "add event" , i select "on took off" and then where it says "find target" select the waypoint. Automatically a GREEN line is joined to the aircraft from the waypoint and a PURPLE line FROM the aircraft TO the waypoint.  I then place a tank,create linked identity, player,german and set on ground.

i go in mission and infront of my tank i have the 109 with flaps slightly down,engine on,canopy closed and lights on.......and he just stays there....forever. So, i try moving him to the other end of the runway...same result. I place the take off command off the runway/on the runway whatever. But with the same result.

Can anyone please tell me what is happening!!! I can get a/c to bomb ships , land , stukas to dive bomb and land but NOT to get an a/c to take off!!!

Any thoughts will be welcome.

 

Many thanks for Reading this.

Hi Santiago,

 

Did you add/edited the airfield chart?? Its used by IA to taxi/take off and landing/taxi. You can find it at airfield properties next to Planes.

 

When this chart is deleted, it should take off. It will do it in the direction the take off mcu is pointing to I think.

Amazing.......thank you Haash,

Thank you, i had in fact put in "Lapino-all of taxi paths", when i redid the mission WITHOUT  the taxi paths as you suggested it worked straight away.

Many thanks, i had never guessed that the taxi pathing would interfere, if you have a moment could you tell me what it's for then, i'm off to work now but will answer a soon as possible. Many thanks again- i had even dug out Vanders old ROF videos to check that i was doing it right!!!

 

Thanks again!!

For details on using taxi paths, see "Make a Plane Taxi to and From a Runway" on pg. 63 of the IL-2 Sturmovik Mission Editor and Multiplayer Server Manual.
