Docking certain aircraft in certain arena maps

You know I'm not, but it does no good when progress is being made in the other thread and this one's going off on a debate. It muddies the waters on the request itself, and/or any issues behind the request.

It's more productive to focus it all in one thread, so I pointed you all to it.

Here, I'll even save you the trouble:

Ah well I point you here I'll save you the trouble. It only "muddies the water" if you cant click between them.

You guys are silly!

Bassingbourne, how of the 91st Bomb Group during WW2.  A pre-war established English base.  No lines, no numbers, runways painted to look like fields etc.  You don't want the other guy to find your base and you do expect your pilots are quick enough to find their own.  They managed quite fine without flashing bases and a map showing where they were all the time.



And your classic A field from the continent.  Steel matting, lots of dirt and dust.  This was the real A-26 field.  No lines, numbers and paint, other then what someone drew on the photograph.

Since we are playing the picture game.


Noticeable markings.

What field, where and when?

Posted these in the other thread but since we're bouncing back and forth.  Basingbourne.  Home of the 91st BG in England.  No markings, painted to look like fields.


The real A-26 in France.  Dust, dirt and steel matting for runways.

So not fields that were in the line of fire at that point, so to speak, but are transient fields where planes are coming and going to the war zone but not under threat of attack where not being seen easily would be important.

I wonder if Midway was marked and so well maintained in 1942 when the battle was taking place?

 While I can sympathize with the OP,I don't have the greatest eyesight either,1 thing that's being overlooked,though Dan touched on it,last thing we need is to make it easier to vulch!

   Being able to see the RW from a long way out will allow the enemy to setup,lineup and know exactly where to "aim" their plane.

Wow!  You guys have nothing better to do than jump all over this thread like that?
What's the big deal if the runways are marked?

That was Midway 1942, this is Aces High 2011, our runways are made outa bonafied invinca-crete, if a 4,000lb cookie can't make a dent in them, why not deck our runways out with a little paint and bling?  Typical government spending, they come up with the best boot in the world, but it comes without laces.

Agreed.

Apparently if they don't have a problem, then no one else should.

Most of the pictures I've seen are from a fairly good alt. and most have a pretty large variance in color between the runway and surrounding terrain.

From a good alt,I have no problem seeing the runways either,its when I"m trying to align and find the runway at a low alt is the problem.

A simple "X" at the end of each ruway and maybe one in the middle might suffice to help me out.
