By the way...there is a bit weirdness in the use of V Bases for aerial spawns...must have something to do with the size of vehicle hanger opening...

As mrMdi posted above...when it comes to V Bases you are always shoved into keypad 5 (H) for the first aerial spawn...doesn't matter if you mess with rotation...

So in the case of northsea V90...assigning 6 aerial spawns ( 3 fighters, 3 bombers) works...it will not work for formations on the bombers in the case of BTE 000 for V90...

In other words, if the designer indeed wanted to enable 3 bomber spawns from a V Base with formations enabled...he actually has to create 4 aerial spawns...the first one is a dummy spawn...and though it works with formations disabled...will not fulfill his design intent...

Further...if he wants to make sure his fighters and bombers are spawning at the same place...he must also assign a dummy spawn for the fighters...so that the everyone is on the same page in terms of keypad selection at the time everyone spawns out...

Again, providing the intent of the designer was to enable an aerial spawn with formation capability...

Perhaps he knew that and only wanted 2 viable formation enabled spawns that worked seamlessly with his fighter spawns...if that is the case he did exactly what he needed to do...however the placement of the graphic images on the underlying bitmap denoting the spawns from 90 lead me to believe he did not...thus he included the graphic for the spawn at 7.10.5...which is a formation disabled spawn from 90...

All of this nonsense can be avoided by simply not using V Bases for aerial spawn points...

Just an observation...

In some ways it cant be avoided and achieved the desired affect....

Quit your whining about it anyway, just imagine how rough it is when you are actually building these terrains!
