omegaeleven 9 Posted January 11 Is it possible to spawn on a taxiway, rather than a runway? I've been testing the Yankee Air Pirate mod for a bit.. the briefings say the F-100D spawns on the apron, before taxing to the runway.. But when I spawn in, it automatically moves to the runway? Am I supposed to only use the F-100D for missions? Or, did I do something wrong? Thanks! :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
omegaeleven 9 Posted January 11 Forgot to say as well, some aircraft with the YAP pack doesn't show up. A-6 included.. and an A-1 skyraider. Please help with this :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wrench 9,848 Posted January 11 Moved to the correct Forum. You'll find you get quicker and better answers if when asking about a specific game, you post in that game's Forum Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+EricJ 4,245 Posted January 11 The games from Thirdwire never spawned on the apron, you always spawn on the runway. If you're doing a video you can taxi to the spot you want to start on the airfield (if you're flying solo) and can "start" from there, but you can't select a different spot to spawn, unlike DCS and other flight sims.

MigBuster 2,884 Posted January 11 Yap 1 did allow you to start from taxi and hangars in Wings Over Vietnam iirc - like 18 years ago. TK maybe changed the code so that no longer worked. There were later versions of yap that may have worked but you would have to speak to those guys if they are still about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
omegaeleven 9 Posted January 11 (edited) Where can I message them? I downloaded them from YAP's website.. Edited January 11 by omegaeleven Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

About the code, could the average player change the script? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
omegaeleven 9 Posted January 11 Different question, how can I fix the A-6 variants not being shown in the mission and campaign sections? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

omegaeleven 9 Posted January 11 the cockpit is in the file thing.. how can I add it into the mod folder? (p.s real sorry if I keep asking too many questions) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+Menrva 4,200 Posted January 11 It has been discussed already in the past, the start from ramp is an incomplete feature from SF1, it never got implemented properly. It can be made to work for the player only by manually editing mission files, but it won't work for the AI aircraft: 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
