do I need to disable aircraft at vflds in an Ma terrain?
« on: October 23, 2007, 08:56:36 AM »
Do I need to worry about disabling all aircraft at Vehicle Fields in my MA terrain, or is that something that's done at the server setting level somehow?

I ask because I realized that if I use a terrain that's been downloaded from the server in offline mode, when I move to a GV field only GV's are enabled.  

But on my terrain, if I accidentally attempt to launch an aircraft to a GV field (excluding the ME163's which I've specifically disabled as per the instructions) it lets me.

Do I need to set the vflds to only have GV's enabled?

If Skuzzy doesn't come in here and answer I'm pretty sure you can email him and find out.

You can do this fairly easily.
Under Settings->Field Setup
Click "Standard Field Setup"
Then click the 163 and click "Disable at all fields"
Then You can enable the 163 at one of your 3 uncapturable fields near the HQ.
I think Skuzzy usually checks this though

There is a very good reason to do this.

When you set the planeset at each field which is something that's easy to do, it also builds the files which assign the fields to the correct country. Without one of those files, the base assignments can be random even on a 3 zone terrain and the files which assign planes can be changed after the terrain is built, for new vehicles for instance.
Easy in-game again.

Ahah... So the "Standard field setup button" does it automatically.  I'd missed that somehow.

I'll do it that way (and then clear the 163 except at the appropriate fields.)

Thanks guys!

Don't forget to disable the RV8 at all fields too.

I always forget this one. :(

Whoops - I wouldn't have known to and wouldn't have done so,either.  Thanks again, Nhawk.
