AI using both ends to take off?

Postby planespotter » Sun Apr 20, 2003 10:56 pm

I've ran the fault checker on afcad and have no errors. I'm finishing up on Nellis AFB and tonight I had 2 planes taxi to one end of the RW and 3 more taxi to the other end but no one will take off ???

I got my AI to depart Hill AFB but that base was already set up with AI tracks. Nellis I did myself, I get the AI and they can taxi but won't take off.

They just back up the runways  >:(

It's possible that you either neglected to install hold short nodes on the taxiways leading to each end of the runway or installed them too far from the runway.  Hold short nodes are represented by red dots and can be located no more than 225 feet from the runway.

AI will not recognize that an aircraft is ready for departure unless it is positioned at a hold short node.

Good luck!

I just noticed yesterday at work that I had no "hold short" nodes.

I'll have to install the updated version after I change some of my AI planes

These A-10's are frame rate killers  :-[
