Problem still exists for stock ShelterA object. YAP have an alternative hangar that solves this problem, and there are some in the downloads /Object Mods/ section which you could experiment with.

Thanks for the info, in the end i decided to remake hanger3 ( always wanted the large hanger as a starting point ) so i opened up the doors and added some light fittings inside then sorted out the collision problem . So far everything seems fine have set middle of hanger3 as starting position in custom mission and all works great , the collision box is still present on the hanger found out when i powered up a bit too much and went through the rear wall of the hanger lol .

Yeah I have tried going into the stock hangers, ended up taking the wings off me even though I didn't touch the walls.

Have done the same taxiing too close to the blast shields.

 

It is a bummer ending a mission like that. Would love to start one in a hangar or hardened area by default...

Dunno bigal1, a more "tactical" size would be cool fo sho.

Was just thinking about this the other night, thinking back on Janes IAF and starting in the alert shelters, kinda miss that old game.

I've managed to make the stock shelter a and b types useable although there is no back wall collision point yet .

 

 

 

[+Spectre_USA 7]

Cool!

 

Now all we need is a little guy waving around a pair of Lackland Lasers around to guide you.

 

What?

 

Sure, yeah, I was kidding.

 

It is just rare when you can get the LL term in a sentence, so I had to go with it...

Actually, that's NOT a bad idea.

It would require a 'new' ground objcet, oh, let's call him/her/it "Aircraft Director". since he/she/it would only be used ON an airfield, you could possibly add the lights, like runway lights, once the positions are figured out (standard coord, just like any other ground object)

 

Just like comprnt did for the additonal lighting on the towers, fuel tanks, buildings, etc. The new lights would be added to the airfield's data ini.

OK, sure, it could be good decoration, but as you approach, if it has an animation, it would steer you through a TabVee wall!

 

Oh, look, another little used word utilized!

 

Man, this thread delivers... :yes:

[+EricJ 3,994]

bigal1, nice stuff man but what about wingmen? Would that also be an issue?

[+76.IAP-Blackbird 3,554]

This animation stuff is possible, look ad radar tower, you can even make vehicles drivving around the airfield.

Hmm not sure to be honest , i was thinking is there a way to define a new starting position for the AI and maybe new taxi points for them . If so then maybe we could have the AI starting in the sheds along side yourself and taxi to the runway ??

[+EricJ 3,994]

Yeah it's a thought though... so just an idea to throw out there. I don't usually often fly with wingman so that's cool.

Seem to have sorted the small shelter a and b type collision out now . Allows you to park up inside and the rest of collision area is in place ( sides and back wall ) so if people are interested i can upload the file , just need to add the new collision file to any terrain folder which uses shelter a and b type . The same file is used to fixed both just have to rename for b type .

[+EricJ 3,994]

Well I'm willing to check it out, upload it man!

Aju,

i only got to play the demo, but boy was it good.

 

and Jane's IAF got my first taste of Skin modding, like adding a smiley instead of the IAF symbol...

 

 

or coloring the migs with neon colors...

[+comrpnt 16]

Vulkan, looking good! :-)
