Armstrong2 0 Posted January 1, 2005 Hi, I have a problem. I have made terrain and added th textures of runway. When my aircroft takes off, I start autopilot, my aircroft doesnt land a runway but flies to left down part of the map (always) to land on sea, (there isnt the runway):crazy: Of course the aircroft explodes. Thank you for your help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Planck 1 Posted January 1, 2005 Just having the runway textures on the island is not enough for AI and autopilot. It also needs to be configured in the config.cpp for your island. Take a look at the commented configs from BIS. Planck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted January 2, 2005 Search for "ILS". Also IIRC it only works for E-W runways, not N-S? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jakerod 254 Posted January 3, 2005 Also sometimes tends not to work well if the textures aren't there either. Tried it one time and the runway was too short and didnt have the textures so the planes didn't have enough momentum to take off. But since Im assuming you have textures that shouldn't be an issue. Just thought I would throw it out there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest RKSL-Rock Posted January 3, 2005 ...just make sure the texture names are longer than 8.3 eg: Â runwayA01.pac runwayA02.pac runwayA03.pac runwayA04.pac etc If you use anything less eg: rw01.pac OFP's game engine will treat it as another 'dirt' texture.

Planck 1 Posted January 3, 2005 Actually you know.......I've placed an ILS direction and ILS position on a nice flatish piece of grass and managed to land with autopilot. I don't know if it would work with an AI pilot though......I'll have to experiment. Planck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest RKSL-Rock Posted January 3, 2005 Actually i wasnt especially clear was i...if you want the Game to reat the runway textures as a smooth surface you need to make sure it has more than 8 characters in the file name. But it will work on any bit of flat ground. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jakerod 254 Posted January 4, 2005 The problem isn't landing the problem is the AI getting enough speed to take off. I think it was just because it was too short and not definded as a runway (I was using the forest texture from Res). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
