slash 0 Posted March 30, 2008 the thing is i got this game like two days back...now i've seen plenty of vids on ramp starts on youtube n stuff, but i've been trying DESPERATELY to figure out how to start on the ground and in my hangar in the first place!i tried going to the edit mission section and then action>takeoff. but thats the farthest i could get-on the runway, instead of a plane flying already when i would start a missionn...so m8s i wondered from where exactly do i have to select what exactly so that i have a falcon babes waiting for me in the hangar den right at the start..!! thx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MigBuster 2,884 Posted March 30, 2008 Start with the training missions and stick your jet to be invulnerable. Work through each training mission exactly as described in the manual You will find the exact instructions for the RAMP start are in the manual also - including every single button you need to press After you have learnt some of the basics then there is lots of useful info at http://forums.frugalsworld.com/vbb/ If you want to run the sim at realistic level in the future theres a lot to learn good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Brainless 1 Posted March 30, 2008 There's also a 'ramp start' video at simHq. It's brilliant. I'll see if I can find the link. Here you go. http://www.simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?...;Number=1744118 - Post1744118 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gr.Viper 131 Posted March 31, 2008 Even in the campaign? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slash 0 Posted March 31, 2008 yeah even in the campaign.it just started with my plane on the runway with the avionics and engines on...not in the hangar i am sure theres an option u need to toggle before launching the mission that would put u in the hangar right at the onset..isnt it so?i just cant find it..looked like hell for it..but all in vain. i have posted this pic here just so that i can explain myself more explicitly. all u can see here is the takeoff option by best..no option that would suggest u that u would start on the hangar.

MigBuster 2,884 Posted March 31, 2008 Its not where you are looking in that screenshot When you click on the "Fly" button to start a campaign mission you should get 3 pictures: Ramp - Click on this picture if you have more than 25 mins before your take off slot - Most of the time is needed to allign the INS Taxi - Click on this picture if you have more than 2 mins to takeoff - you start on the taxiway with everything on Runway - Under 2 mins you have to use this option - you start on the runway with everything on hope this helps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JediMaster 451 Posted March 31, 2008 Ah yes, the dreaded "NWS off" realization as you taxi into the dirt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slash 0 Posted April 1, 2008 Ah yes, the dreaded "NWS off" realization as you taxi into the dirt. loool!yea man exactly!so wht i did was i ran a srch on google "how to steer a plane on taxiway" and it showed something like NWS activation...even after that i had a hard time finding this NWS,so i went through the manual and found out its on the D console, i started the game for the umpteenth time but still couldnt find it...!!finally i ran a google IMAGE search on "NWS in f16" n lol, i found out its on the planes stick..i knew i would get my answer from google since f4 is a sim n it should be closest to the real deal. P.S:this shows one flaw in the manual...D console doesnt have NWS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+drdoyo 2 Posted June 26, 2008 How do we get those 25 minutes to ramp start? You have to choose a mission that is 25 minutes or more "game time" before takeoff time, and you have to click "fly" before the game enters that 25 minute span. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
