Seaplane base

[Wilches]

Has anyone here managed to create a functional naval base for seaplanes on Wrench's Solomons map?

Cheers!

IIRC, I turned them off, as due to stupidity of the Game Engine (tm) thinking that all airfields are ALL airfields. Even those made of water.

I DO remember they did work, but the game kept putting land birds there, too. You can try and reactive them, by uncommenting out the statements ---

[TargetArea038]
Name=Shortland Island Seaplane Base
Position=428437,495477
Radius=3000
ActiveYear=0
Location=4
Alignment=ENEMY
//AirfieldDataFile=airfield_SLB kurz.ini
//NumSquadrons=1
Target[001].Type=IJNTender
Target[001].Offset=-531,756
Target[001].Heading=225

If you do, let me know what happens! There should be just the 2, Shortland Island and Reketta Bay

If i would create such a base i would use an "invicible" runway. Like it was done in First Eagles. Then i would set the runwaylenght to TargetType=LARGE_RUNWAY and all other airfields on medium or small.  Seaplanes must have  MinBaseSize=Large, so that onlyseaplanes can use the seabases.

Only my 2 cents ....
