Solved 4.37-U2 Training Mission 1 - different ramp & taxi start locations?
-
Ramp Start in the new 4.27-U2 Training Mission 1, begins at RWY36, TWY P and PK 0.
-
If you start the same U2 mission in Taxi, it’s still RWY 36, but TWY A and PK 63, same as 4.37-U1 and there’s not a single aircraft in the area!
Is there a reason for two different starting points & traffic for the same training mission? -
At Ramp Start, since there aren’t any other flights shown or scheduled on the Mission screen, ATO or Briefing in the UI, how is the pilot supposed to know about all of the other package traffic on the taxiways and EOR, for takeoff timing of Pkg 2065? If you wait for the other flights to proceed before you, you’ll be late for your 1:32 takeoff time.
-
Since this is technically the “first training” mission, often for first-time pilots:
Could the other “unknown” packages be shown on the Mission screen and scheduled to at least clear the EOR and takeoff area, a few minutes earlier than the ‘trainee’ pilot, so the EOR/Arming Area isn’t so clogged up between, say 1:28 and 1:32?
Maybe a hotfix for this newly revised, training mission?
Any help here would be greatly appreciated . -

-
That’s correct. If you click Taxi, other flights are already airborne so ATC brain will spawn you at another place. No bug.
-
We changed it by design that the training flight is the only flight in the list to avoid that people are using the wrong flight. I modified/tested this mission before delivering to U2 so ATC should give you clearance in time to taxi.
-
See answers 1 and 2. We don’t wanna have any other flights in the list.

Hah! I see now, what you had in mind! Bravo!All of those packages in front, really threw me off, but thankfully the Ramp Start timing is still the same!
Now that I know MY start time (1:13), taxi time (1:25) and the last package (4-F-16’s) takeoff time (+/- 1:30), I can make sure I’m in the right locations at the right times.
I’ll re-work my Ramp Start script, to match this timing and the latest checklist and see how it all comes together.
Thank you!
