Ghosting aircraft at spawn points

[carosel43]

Very quick suggestion is that newly spawned aircraft should 'ghost' for 10 seconds or so to prevent being hit by other aircraft taxiing on the apron. Very often it is not possible to stop in time when a plane spawns in front of you and both aircraft get damaged. 

 

It should be possible to make newly spawned aircraft invulnerable to collisions but still take damage from weapons for 10 seconds or so after they spawn to prevent spawn point pileups.

S!

 

Something similar to old IL-2 "chocks on" mode might be good. While you had chocks on, others could roll through you. You would still be vulnerable to guns / bombs while having chocks on of course...

I´ve had just a tiny handfull (around maybe 10 or so) of inadvertent taxiing colisions in hundreds of hours playing..  you know you can learn to avoid other people and stay clear of people who are visibly incapable of controling their ride on the taxiways?

 

It can also allready be addressed by spawnpoint design.. or playersided by NOT allways spawning in on the most croweded airfield. Doing that is silly.

 

But even if you do, there is a 100% fix: If you spawn on a buisy airfield in the 2nd row, you can automatically assume someone new will soon spawn infront of you. So instead of playing the lottery, just orient your aircraft away from that, taxi away and then back to normal... as long as you don´t come to a full stop, you can taxi any terrain, even deep snow in BoS.

 

 

 

having a a timed "transparency" will only make people try to drive trough.. "because he just ain´t there yet" and you will have the same problems as before, just with people driving through when the timer stops... ;=)

 

steer cleer yourself and you´re good!

I do agree to the above, but i am getting tired of being crashed into and on certain airfields its more or less impossible to taxi round everyone if you are in the middle of the 2nd row or aircraft spawn on the taxiway. Also its not always clear exactly where planes will spawn on some airfields

 

I also wish the grass between the runway and apron was much rougher so you cant takeoff directly across the airfield. That often causes accidents
