Ai B-25s can't start engines

[Alonzo]

I thought I should maybe report this here. I have a mission with Ai B-25 bombers, but when I set them to start from 'Parking' the Ai is unable to start engines. The right engine starts, but then stops, then starts again, then sputters out and stops. For the bombers to take off, I have to use 'Runway' (engines on) instead of 'Parking'. Is this a known issue?

No, but i'm going to check that asap.

 

I need to know on which airfield and which season ?

Alonso,

 

I check with one of my AI test mission (group of 3 planes), and it works fine in single player on Stalingrad in summer, on a hard airfield. But the result can change with weather and kind of airfield and the game mode (single multiplayer).

 

I'm waiting your informations to run more tests.

Out of interest I put a mission together with SYN_Vanders cool mission making tool and set 2 B-25's to start from the ramp. They started up, taxied, took off and flew the mission no problems.

 

Turned out to be a cool little mission and if anyone wants to try it I've attached it here. You lead 4 Spit IX's escorting 2 B-25's, apron start. A few ai's out there including a pair of 262"s

It was the new Europe map, summer, at the airfield in 2212. Date was set to 1945-03-01, temperature 12C. Thanks for checking!

Ok, for me it works. I join my test mission with your parameters. Test it and check the parameters.

 

Test were done in dogfight mode on :

- Self hosting

- Dedicated server
