Side by Side take off
« on: July 17, 2011, 02:52:36 PM »
I would really like to see Side by Side take offs, the runways are wide enough and you could launch more planes. It just gets really old sitting in the belly of a Lanc or B-17.

When you spawn in on a runway and another plane spawns on the same runway your stacked up on one another.

He's saying planes should spawn on its own section of the runway, rather than everyone spawning in the same spot. It does get annoying. However it would probably be very time consuming to develop, and that time could be focused on remodeling our ah1 lineup

Neat idea, but -1

he wants the airplane spawns next to each other, not on top of each other

Your spawn code is already there tweak it from 1 to 2, one line of code at the most.

I see. This can easily be avoided, the looking into the tail gunner of another aircraft
'issue', by applying a bit of rudder.

But it is a wishlist. How about adding an option for runways?
Say, #1-4 positions of a diamond.

Choose a number somewhere (haven't figured out where), and you spawn on the rway
in that number of the diamond formation. A similar, side-by-side for medium/small sized
bombers as well.

Pardon the excellent photoshop work of art.

The 1-4 would work great for bombers and the 5-6 would work great for the fighters. If you watch combat film the fighters took off in staggered pairs while the bombers took of one at a time. Great visual Joe.

did buffs ever takeoff side by side? seems like a crazy idea to me. besides our runways are nowhere near wide enough.

you can just taxi if you really want to form up on the runway.

No bombers didn't take off side by side this just helps when you spawn in you not sitting inside a bomber and can roll with your wing man. You spawn in look to your left or right and when your wingman spawns in you take off, or 2 planes can just roll at the same and not wait in the stack to roll. You launch twice the fighters  in the same time span.

ahh ok. we just roll forward until the planes arent overlapping if we're going to take a screeny, then roll from the front - looks realistic (apart from the hovering/rear facing drones :rolleyes:) and you can all still autotakeoff :aok

Bombers never take off side by side as they are large. If you want to start rolling with your wingmen in a fighter than all you got to do is move to the side. As WildCat said I would also much rather have HTC remodel the AH1 planes.

Choose the hanger spawn, taxi to wherever you want to be, side by side, and take off.

Otherwise, just move on the runway.

What Wrongway said

Nothing wrong with a good side by side take off in fighters.  Looks kinda nice actually :)
