Editor : Flight Delayed ?

[tozziFan]

Hello,
I'm trying to learn the editor, more for flight practice with my aircrafts, than for setting scenarios

I don't know what I'm missing: after setting an aircraft on runway (player enabled), and the weather, after launching the preview, I don't enter the cockpit but the map : "Flight Delayed"

I've checked my time (and season) of mission, making it match with editor time, but flights are still delayed

thanks for help

Never had this happening...

Just to verify that we are doing the same things:

1. Place a module that you own (yellow in the list) on one of the airports
2. Set start position to "runway"
3. Set plane to "player" controlled (yellow in the list)

Hit the green button on the left hand side of the ME to preview mission. Do not save at this point.

What happens on your screen exactly?

Think I know what your problem is...

You have set airplane start time, i.e. spawn time, to a point later than your mission start time. That is why your flight is delayed.

Airplane start time is set from the Route tab on the right hand side of the editor. Mission start time is set by clicking the 'Create Mission briefing' button on the left hand side of the screen.

thanks

...but how do I change the hour of mission start, then, in case I wish to practice i.e. a night environment, without having to wait ?

what I did:
set the time of mission start in the Briefing options (left side of Editor)
set the (same) time in the (player) aircraft Route tab

still "mission delayed" ?!

You only need to set the time in the briefing options. Leave everything else alone.

[Hadji]

Exactly. No need to mess with aircraft time unless you are doing some really fancy missions. Just set the start time under Mission Briefing and everything will work.

don't use player, set it to client and run the missions on a passworded multiplayer server then you have choice of which aircraft you want to fly when you spawn in and you can jump into new planes as you wish.
