mr_mojo97 Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Hi all, I made a mission with a cold ramp start and various waypoints. Now if I wanted to begin at waypoint 3 in the air (rather than a having to start up) is this possible?

Now if I wanted to begin at waypoint 3 in the air (rather than a having to start up) is this possible? Cheers It is. Just select WP 0 and change it from 'rapmp start' to 'turning point'. Then move your plane close to WP3 (if you don't want to delete WP 1&2, but bear in mind you will start facing WP1). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfredo_laredo Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 No, without deleting WP 1 and 2... The ariplane always start at the first waypoint. Either on ramp hot, ramp start or in the air. Now... For testing pruposes I used to change the last waypoint of a route (landing) to the nearest waypoint I wanted to test.. so no, no need to delete or change the route for testing. I only had to move the last waypoint to the airport and set it to Land A.K.A. Timon -117th- in game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paganus Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Yes. Change the aircraft start position from "ramp start" to "turning point", and raise the altitude. Drag it to where WP 3 is, and delete WP 1, 2, and 3. Save as... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_mojo97 Posted June 12, 2014 Author Share Posted June 12, 2014 Ok, thanks. I wanted to keep the file as the original though so I wouldn't have to delete any way points, but I've got a much better idea now. Just getting into the mission editor after a year and a half of flying in DCS! Don't know why I thought it so daunting but it is quite straight forward.

ENO Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 If it were me, I might just leave the ground start units in and add the additional units- that way you don't have to mess with anything existing. Just copy (cntrl c) and paste (cntrl v) the aircraft you want to move to WP 3, delete those waypoints... and as said before change the new position to turning point instead of cold start... and now you have the best of both worlds "ENO" Type in anger and you will make the greatest post you will ever regret.

Wrecking Crew Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Totally agree ^^^ Eno. I'll add this -- do not move the cursor and press Cntrl-V. If you move the cursor to another space on the map then any waypoints of the original unit will be offset by the distance to the new paste location. I will trace all the waypoints and tidy them up and especially snap the Landing waypoint to the airbase.
