Title: Mission Starts
Post by: DREDger on February 26, 2007, 03:02:26 PM

I wish when the mission started, people who joined would spawn to the runway with ENGINES OFF.

Missions seem to get quite spread out due to the various times people will join (within that 2 min window), and unless everyone takes off at once there is no semblance of a formation.

I run alot of missions and on the mission channel I type out numerous times to HOLD ON RUNWAY.  Then I make sure to spawn first and say on local vox a number times to HOLD ON RUNWAY.

Most people due, but not all.  Always seems to get fouled up.

Seems to me if engines were off when the spawn, this might help out...dunno.

This could be caused by the player having auto takeoff enabled.;)

Perhaps a mission briefing in the tower prior to mission start time.  Also except for bombers, start the mission in the Hanger.  All aircraft spawn to the runway with engines off, however, many people use autotake off and that kicks in as soon as they spawn.

What would be really nice is a better mission planner that would allow you to give more basic information and perhaps specific instructions to each flight element.
