i have tried to get a plane to taxi into a hangar after landing but have had no luck. is it possible? i put the landing icon in the hangar anhave tried by placing it in front og tha hangar, no luck.

not possible, ounce the plane landed, its over

Moving the landing icon will have no impact whatsoever.

The map has specific places that the planes park. You could try putting the hangers there. Otherwise you might have to modify the map to change the parking locations (requires special mod which I can’t find the link to). That has been my experience but perhaps someone else knows another way around it.

I have seen planes start from hangers and then go out to the airstrip, but not the other way around. Great idea saipan1972.

That is not true.

The very first mission in this (insanely hard for me) campaign has you land and taxi into a large hanger. You get mission complete when you come to a stop in the hangar.

Not sure how he does it. But it can be done.


EDIT:

I realised now you are asking about getting AI to taxi off the field not make the player do it. I cannot really help with that. I think its a bit like getting AI to land on a road, not in their idiom.

I have had a think about making it a mission for the player (not what you are asking) and it seems to me all you would need to do is make a RECON object the primary objective for the mission and centre it over the hangar, set its type to landing and make the area it covers really small - basically the size of the hangar.

i tried the recon icon set to very small. plane still wont go into the hangar. i was trying to make a mission where a plane landed and took off again. i used 2 to give that illusion. if i hide one in a hangar i can spawn the second.

The recon target is for the player to complete the task of going somewhere and would not inspire the AI to do anything.

If you want the AI to dissapear then try using one of the test runways under "stationary ships". The AI planes dissapears after landing on one of these runways. Make sure to "set" (under waypoints) the plane to the runway, not simply place the landing waypoint icon. You might want to experiment with test runway #4, which is invisible. You will have to turn the runway 180 degrees if it lands from the undesired end (again, moving the icon has no effect with these runways).

Good luck.

I dont think u can have a way point after the landing icon waypoint.

Ive rigged a misn to take off in a hanger on a scramble, and ive seen it done for flown planes as by others as well. Ive also taxied into a hangar after landing, but in reality (which always is a drag), that almost never happened. They always pushed the planes outside first, then pushed them back in. Some NCO type would raise all kindsa cain with you for doing that, and you'd probably wind up getting eaten for lunch in the C.O.'s office.

Still, it is kinda fun, and it looks neat. Pity we are so limited with the AI stuff.

It is possible to get the AI to taxi into a hangar. You set them up to land normally and then watch where they taxi. Put a hangar there and they might taxi into it. This assumes they still ignore objects on the ground.

If you are talking about humans you just have to taxi into it. On dual engine aircraft this can be tricky, but it can be done.
