Do we have Mission Builder objects to mark a Jungle Airstrip (Kokoda)?

[kraut1]

Hi,

I found an area in the mountains that is suitable for taking off/ landing for slow planes.

I have already defined a primitive Airfield that works with EMG by Vander.

I would like mark the airstrip, because some regions are not flat enough for taking off.

Do we have some Block objects like fabric signs that could be used to mark a runway?

I found only the small road signs (arrow left / right), but they are far to small.

Thanks in advance!

You could use the "land_canvas" object, under the "Vehicles" category (of course).

How about fires for a bit of spectacle ?

Why not, but because I want mark the Shape of the runway I have to place minimum 8 fires, because of that I would need a very small fire. Do we have a small fire?

Yes, use "landfire", under "Effects". For more details, see "Mark a Runway With Bonfires", on pg. 56 of the editor manual.

If you generate a transport mission you'll see how the land_canvas objects can be used. The default fire near the runway tower can be used for runway markers as well.

Thanks very much for your help!

Are you going to post the mission?

Yes, I will soon post a preliminary release of the modified EMG and the mission.

With the WW1 Bristol Fighter take off is easy.

I was able to take off / land with a Aichi Val (Ju87) what is more difficult and I was able sometimes to take off with a P40 but landing did not work.

AI is able to take off with the Bristol fighter but I suppose AI is not able to land, it will collide with the mountains.

So the Kokoda Airstrip is in first line for player controlled special transport missions.

I will try out other slower WW2 planes.

For testing "japanese" planes I  will have to complete at first a new further front line where Kokoda is occupied by axis.

attached 1 test mission only for take off / landing practise
