Quick question...well...maybe...

[+comrpnt]

I trawled the forum posts a couple of times but couldn't find an answer to this seemingly simple question.

 

Do auto-generated parked static aircraft appear in single missions that a user loads from the Missions folder - rather than appear in the 'created' single missions that the game also provides.

 

From testing so far I've seen parked auto-generated statics using the 'created' single mission option but NEVER during a mission that I have created myself and then loaded. And I mostly only ever load and play my own created missions.

 

So, I was just wondering. Anyone ever seen these birds appear within missions they've authored? The answer is going to affect my next deliverable.

 

Cheers, regards, comrpnt.

depends on a couple of things. whats your settings on? and what terrian are you using? your stteings need to have most things on the ground on at least high i found for the parked birds to show tho they wont have unit markings if theyre not on unlimited.

Computer generated parked aircraft only appear in campaigns or computer generated single missions. User created missions will not have any aircraft other than the aircraft built within the mission.

Hi FC, aha! That explains a few things - such as why I wasn't seeing them (I only ever use my own single missions). But it's also quite useful as it turns out because I can design my missions starting positions as I like them and not have to worry about double-booking a parking space on the ramp for my own statics and the player's aircraft.

 

Thanks for that insight - I appreciate the confirmation.
