Hi Tech:

Can you send a crew out to demo that little green building at the end of the runway on the small airbase for I cant take off with a fully loaded jug without using a ton of wep in the process. Maybe for sim reasons you want me to taxi to the other runway to take off but than I cant use my auto take off and that costs me valuable beer time. In my opinion in real life that little building would never have been put there... and in the highly unlikely event it was..... someone like me would have painted a target on its side.

Can that building be moved or removed?

This was a scary and sad lesson to learn. I was calling out a phantom GV near the base before I realized I was in the toolshed at the end of the grass strip....

I've already learned my lesson, just sorta dinky to have to learn that particular lesson.... I'm thinking this building was placed with the last 1/64th of whatever bottle was being consumed at the time.

Minor in the grand scheme of challenges HTC and Co. are facing with AH3.      ... I am still too afraid to try a B-29 on any runway in the MA...

the whole point of taking off from the hanger is trying not to get vulched, when field is being attacked

Someone move this to the wishlist.

When they fix this, move the gun emplacements that are on the west spawn runway of large bases.

Yeas please!!!

My first 262 run off a small field cost me 185 perkies (which actually isn't bad)...

I got on the runway, engaged my brakes and ran up the RPMs until they hit 9 then released the breaks and started to build up speed.

As soon as I realized what was happening it was too late.  As the nose JUST started to roll I was in the tower.

if they could put ords on the big runway, that'd be great.
