LANDING in created airfields

Featured Replies

So, airfields.dcg gives you the ability to choose the first waypoints and direction of an airfield, like this
 

[Wheeler_Airfield]
  TAKEOFF 252518.25 53145.05 0 0
  NORMFLY 250011.80 55739.09 300.00 300.00

  NORMFLY 250494.66 70949.25 1200.00 300.00

 

So, how about the ability to link the LANDING waypoint to some static object?

Why would you need a specific landing waypoint for a static object that's different from the one automatically generated by DCG?  For example, in the Normandy'44 campaign, if you use the "English Base" option, it has a Ship$RwyTransp runway called "English_Airstrip".  The planes will land on it as per normal.

I just generated this example:

Because I don't see any autogenerated Static Runway in Berlin, Western Europe or Balaton, even when they have an English Airfield

 

Edit:

I once added a 'Polish_Airfield' in the Berlin map, and it didn't autogenerate a static runway object. I had already one, however. And that was in .49 final, so maybe things changed in .50b5?

You need to add the static runway to the Berlin.mis file in the Master folder near the location that you set it in the roads file.  Then it should work (when you generate the campaign from the start).  If you add it to a mission that you are already playing, you need to put it in the stationary.dcg file in the campaign folder.

Added a Polish_Airfield to berlin.rds. There is a Polish_Airfield in the Ground war panel, but it's not choosable in the Airfields in the Squadron panel

Sorry, layer 8 error. I forgot to add Polish_Airfield to locale section in Berlin AND to check in the Axis squadrons if it was part of the avaiable airfields. Corrected that, it works exactly as you say. Thanks!
