Take off question

[Rover 59]

Hello guys!!! I need help with specific modification of the runway. Does exist a way to make a modification in the airfield.ini and make the aircraft take off just in one way? For example, make the aircraft take off only in runway 09. It's possible make that?

 

Thanks!!!

I have not seen any mod like that. I think the only way you can do it is in making a single mission.

I'll state with a VERY conditional possibly. You'd need to extract and study the airfield's ini....

 

this is from desert_airfield6.ini ....

It should be theoretically possible to comment out the pointer for, say a northerly take off (since most of these cursed things are set a headings 0/180 -- which is really fun when you need a odd heading, like 330...but that's for another post)

 

Might be interesting to experiment with.....

I was trying it... very interesting but I cannot do the aircraft take off just in one way. Why it's possible make this kind of take off from a carrier (just in one direction) and not from a simple runway? Beyond of the type of ground object, what's the diference in each configuration?

 

Thank you anyway!!!

Carrier's have catapults that are aligned in the specific direction.

 

Runways do not.

 

Try adding a catapult to a runway...see if it works.
