Dogfight airstarts

[cannon_fodder]

I'm trying to get working head to head airstarts at 3000m.

The trouble is, no matter how I orientate "static ship: test runway_4" the airstart is always 90 deg at 2000m.

Is it possible to get a 90 deg and a 270 deg airstart at 3000m?

If you are dog fighting in the ladder would you like to spawn 2~3 km apart on the same course so your opponant is exactly 3 or 9 oclock at the same hight requiring you both to turn into each other

OR would a head to head at 3~4Km be better (if it is possible)

What ever you can achieve. I would have been quite happy with players taking off from the same airfield and then flying to pre-agreed points on the map before turning to start the engagement when both were ready.

I would love to know if/when you find the solution to this CF.

Airstarts are stuck at 2k on DF maps.

I have just posted on the mission builders forum at the zoo, but Chris has probably pre-empted any responce I will get.

I just did a test with 1 airstart and 1 carrier.

Thanks for the work and advise from you guys.

I'll air start at 2000m both facing east with the starts exactly North-south of each other.

These means that the North starting guy has to turn to 180 at the start and the south airstart has to steer 0 deg.

Nice easy courses to fly and remember

This will put both aircraft onto a collision course and into visual range in 20 secs or so.

The reason a would like the option of airstarts as it will give pilots like me a chance (poor airmanship skills).

Ok, thats for this.

I will leave the starting altitude at 3000m. Unless both pilots spawn at exactly the same time (which I very much doubt will ever happen) this wont be a problem. Both players can climb to 3000m and wait until both parties say they are ready.

I will include something about this in the official rules post.
