Actually you are wrong again...this is the NE spawn on a large airfield notice the thing to the right of my gunsight...its a gun....

(Image removed from quote.)

And WTF is up with the curved runway??? This is a NE spawn why is there no established dirt runway or concrete run way....If this isnt an actual runway that an auto take off works on...why even have it be an option in the tower....

Here's an idea instead of everything is fine...make do argument.....Put a red ring around every spawn direction where auto takeoff doesn't work or possibly wont work for all planes.


Yea Everything is all well and good...

It because you are not spawning onto the runway but on a pad just next to it... Taxi to the runway and take off and you should be fine....

Why not? you have 6 runway spawns on that base + the one in the hangar.. If you want to launch from a runway, pick one of the six..

Because if I taxi to THAT runway your talking about I'm going to go through the spot they spawn in for the East runway....

The word here is redundant.

Id say the problem is misleading new players...

I personally dont care for my own sake,  i dont use auto pilot and am aware its there.

Id imagine for new guys, either on auto takeoff or not, it will be difficult to see what they smacked into with the nose pitched up.

Do i think it is a huge problem?  No.  Should it be fixed?  Yes.

No, not a curved runway.  Still no gun on the runway.  Junky this might work for you. :bhead

How about if a player has Auto Takeoff enabled, only spawns where Auto Takeoff will work (100% of the time) are available to click on?  That would solve the problem for new players (as I believe Auto Takeoff is the default setting.)

Some indication between spawns that may require taxiing and spawns that are "auto takeoff friendly" might be nice.  Perhaps a green (good) spawn button and a yellow (caution) spawn button would be a simple way to distinguish between them.  And a new player is more likely to wonder/ask "what's the difference between the yellow spawn and the green spawn buttons?"

Just a couple other ideas, in case these are easier to implement than remodeling the fields.

Perhaps a sign at the END of the runway.

It is being fixed. It is not as easy as moving the building.
