Ok, this is getting frustrating...

Recommended Posts

I have been working all morning trying to build a simple strike mission using the F9F-5, the USS Essex, and the Korea map. I cannot seem to make the planes do a normal takeoff from the carrier. Either my plane blows up, or it bounces like some ball until the wingman spawns underneath, whereupon I blow up, or if I check the adjust heading/takeoff boxes in the editor, Im not even ON the carrier, Im flying somewhere over the water a ways away from it. Maybe one of you guys can make sense of this...

I have had all kinds of wierd things happen...if I try to set the ship as the takeoff, my first waypoint is yanked over to the carrier on the map in the editor and the speed, etc. changed. Initially, the mission worked fine until I added a werehouse as a target. So I delete the tasrget and just focus on trying to get ON the deck for takeoff...no bueno... My ship floats above the water, My wingman takes off and floats down to the water where he lands to the sound of wheels hitting a runway, and my F9F doesnt have any main gear visible! Geeeeeze....this post cannot begin to convey the continual problems I have had. I am not a rookie at this. I know how to fool around with things until something finally works. But apparently SFP1 right now isnt cooperating... :rtfm:

Hey PC,

I tried to use the Essex & Korea terrain with BaD results. :blink:

 

The Essex wants to levitate like a hovercraft,and the planes crash together.. :biggrin:

 

This is a simple mission i did using the Enterprise6,F-9J Cougar,& Korea terrain.
