Can't spawn in aircraft / Translator Icon Colour

[352ndRoodster]

G`day Guys, 

                     While I was editing a mission this morning I put a translator icon to indicate where the shipping is on the mission description map for the red side, however when I try to make the icon a different colour, it stays red. I have changed values in the advanced properties tab, but no success. 

 

Secondly, after making changes this morning, I cannot fly any of the aircraft. I am in spectate mode only. 

 

Any help would be great!!

The icon color is defined red/blue by selecting whether it is "attack enemy" or "defend friendly".

@namhee2 Here are the mission files. As I am only starting out I thought I would start small and make bigger & better maps from there. I can predict that you will find heaps of mistakes. Any advice you can provide will be much appreciated. 

 

@LLv34_Temuri Thanks for the advice. Will look into into it now.

Hello, I looked at this ..... since you are new, I built you a little mission on Lapino. The manual for Mission editor has 278 pages ..... Important if you load a map then don't forget to make sure everything is summer or winter. And the "Blocks" only need to be active if it is also important (as a target for example) or marked with "arf". The "arf" activates the soldiers walking around. Take the time to study everything in peace and have fun.

The solution to this problem is under topic "Player Enters Plane and Is Kicked Out or Plane Is Destroyed or Goes Underground" on pg. 186 of the editor manual. FYI, open the .mission file in an advanced text editing program (such as free program NotePad++). Once you make the change, you need to reopen your mission in the mission editor and save it again.
