Hi all,
I was wondering if there is a way to not spawn on the active runway when playing multiplayer? I have seen servers which state that if you spawn on the runway you will be kicked.
I know that you can spawn in the air near the host, but is there anyway to spawn on the airfield, but not on the runway?

Hi Leviathan,
Spawn isn't a term I've heard in the FS world before. Can you explain what you mean by spawn? _________________ Cheers, Adrian

Hi Adrian,
Sorry, spawn is a term used in other games, and I had seen it on the server details.
Basically, it means to appear at a certain point when starting the game (or in other games where you appear after you have died and rejoined the game).
From what I have experienced so far when playing multiplayer, when I join the session at the airfield where the host has designated the starting point, I have always started (spawned) on the end of the runway.
As the ATC is not happy with that starting position, I want to start somewhere else on the airfield (as opposed to being in the air flying when I first enter the session).

Ah I see... now I know what you're talking about.
In FS you can specify your starting location right down to a gate or parking position on an airport. When you're creating your flight and selecting your airfield you are presented with a couple of drop down lists where you can select a runway/gate/parking space. Instead of selecting Active Runway or any of the other runways you should select a gate or parking location.
Hope that helps. _________________ Cheers, Adrian

Adrian next time i come and see you with my computer in hand i'm going to show you the world of FPS shooters. Spawning is a very common term for anything from quake to HL2.
