(Ramp Start) Position on the airport?

RD, the arrows suggest an anti-clockwise loop? If I spawn in, for example, H35, do I need to turn right on entering the loop, or is it only a case of “I should”?

Sat view was a good thought. You have to use your keyboard to rotate the view - that’s what I do even though I also use a TrackIR and mouse. To zoom out, the keyb is way more efficient than mouse rolling too, it takes you way farther.
To rotate in sat, I use Shift + Numpad 2-4-6-8, and I zoom with Shift + (edit) Numpad 1-7
Thanks for the quick responses!
Satellite view was my very first thought. But I only can zoom out and not far enough to get an overview. I found no way to pan or rotate in satellite view.
I’m using TRACK IR but I have set the mouse to control view. Works perfectly in orbit view but not at all in satellite view.
I looked up keyboard layout but found nothing specific to control satellite view.I also tried starting the mission as the wingman. That didn’t work as I could assign myself to the wingman plane but the lead remained “unassigned”.
Also I wanted to figure out how to resolve this issue generally for later missions and campaign myself. -
Unfortunately (in SAT view)
Shift + Numpad does not do anything
Shift + 1-7 switches between various viewsSo it seems to be a Keyboard-layout problem.
I’m using Warthog_DX-4_33_2 by Morphine (https://sites.google.com/a/hodderweb.com/warthog/falcon-bms/home) updated by Boxin. Had no issues up to now.
Any ideas how I could solve this? -
Yes, it is. And it was Shift + Numpad 1-7, I edited my post.
You can edit your key mapping in game, in the setup. That’s probably what I did if it doesn’t work the same for you.

Found the said key bindings! In my profile it’s:
Satellite View
U = Rotate Up
J = Rotate Down
, = Rotate Left
. = Rotate Right
Shift + F11 = Zoom In
Shift + F12 = Zoom OutI’ll make that simpler and will use Shift + Numpad Numbers as in your profile. Fortunately all of these bindings are free at the moment.
As it took me some time to find the relevant callbacks I’ll post them in case somebody else looking for them:
OTWViewUp
OTWViewDown
OTWViewLeft
OTWViewRight
OTWViewZoomIn
OTWViewZoomOutSo, satellite’s view problem solved. Thanks!
I will also try using GPS coordinates as alternative to satellite view to figure out, where I am!

That chart may be out of date or reflecting real procedure instead of BMS 4.33u1 as it stands today. I’ve always remembered that H43 was the #1 spawn spot and the loop flowed clockwise. In a slightly older version you’d taxi outbound on F but that was changed recently to outbound on C. The test is that if you spawn in in H43 and your wingman in H42, when you start to roll your wingman will either keep back or block you from going to the right.

Reflecting real procedure. The AI goes clockwise through the panton flows.

At Kunsan we’ve occasionally spawned on the taxiway north of H16 …. near the intersection of taxiway C and north from there.

you don’t have to. It reflects real life direction, and most of our squad SOP. That said, we also turn left out of the HAS. But we do taxi out on Charlie rather than Papa.
that remark is also stated on the regular approach chart btw.
real life direction is much more logical than what the AI uses. The chart was made after the spanw points at kunsan were made, but these may change.
We mostly use it in MP without AI -
