Razor63 0 Posted May 5, 2019 Hello, new to the game here. I have the full 5 merged install, patched to Jul '13. The problem that I am running into is that I start every mission/campaign mission with an air-spawn (usually about 5mi from initial). The only mission that does not start me in the air is the carrier take-off mission. I'd like to take off from the runway or deck, and complete a full mission. Is there a setting that I'm missing? Any help is greatly appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wrench 9,726 Posted May 5, 2019 since day one, without user set ups, always has defaulted to 'in air start" from the main screen ---> options ----> gameplay ---> mission start position 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bazillius 1,255 Posted May 5, 2019 and another important moment.. if you start with NAVY only aircraft for example, Su-33 or F-4A, or F-4B, or F-4J and the Theater which you run has ocean or sea you will start at an aircarier anyway. To fly from land you need to chose Su-27, or F-4C, or F-4D etc. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wrench 9,726 Posted May 5, 2019 No, you need to only fly on terrains that are NOT NavalMap=TRUE (which is all the original 4, excepting IcelandNA, which is the ONLY stock terrain built from the bedrock/ocean floor for carrier ops in single missions) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
