dresoccer4 Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 quick question: so normally when I set up mission editor missions, if i'm flying around in my main aircraft i can F2 to another aircraft on my team and press RAlt+J to enter that aircraft, even if it's a different type. however if i have some aircraft sitting on the ramp and they are labeled "uncontrolled" in the ME, i can't RAlt+J into them. it says "unable to enter aircraft: plane control is not available". however if that same plane is then activated via a trigger or something, i can then enter it. does anyone know how I can enter and fly planes on the ramp? my goal is to set up a sort of menagerie mission where i can check out all my sweet rides, then pick one to enter and fly around. currently havn't figured out a way for the planes to just sit there, but be available if i need them thanks for any tips!

Whisper Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Set up your menagerie as client slots, you can switch between these slots in single player Whisper of old OFP & C6 forums, now Kalbuth.

dresoccer4 Posted September 29, 2016 Author Share Posted September 29, 2016 Set up your menagerie as client slots, you can switch between these slots in single player thanks for the response. but when i set it up like that, all of the planes are invisible until you enter one. so can't really have a nice display or showroom with all your sweet rides.

Easiest way is Client planes and Uncontrolled planes as just scenery that you do not fly. ESC + Choose Slot + Fly is just as easy as ALT+J - with the added benefit of not having to restart the mission if you crash an ALT+J plane. Just choose the plane again in the slot selection.
