You have to hand edit the mission file.

1-Set all way points to turn. If set to takeoff the PBY will sink.

2-After they are all set go into the missions file and set the alt. of your plane to 0. Your engines will already be running so you will have to lower the speed. 0 may not work and you will have to find the correct speed when testing.

3- AI planes may crash at times but can takeoff also

4-Remember if you make any changes to the mission in MB you will have to edit the mission file again.

It really pays off at times when you take notes over the years.

Would you know how to get the invisible tender to work? I add it like normal for a ship, per the readme, keeps saying "model not found", even though its there.

Check in the sound and panel folder, make sure you have a text file titled dummy.txt.

If not make a text file and have it say "Dummy File", minus the quotations, in it. Save it as "dummy". Not sure why but it has to have something in these folder with some ships. Even though the stock ships don't.
 
Sounds like you need the updated version. There was a problem with naming in the original Ships folder.

New Version

Delete what you have and replace it with the new version.

I've had no problems with this one. Hopefully this is the cause.

Thanks, works fine now.Now just have to get the Beepee ALPHA PBY fixed so can have AI, CTD when run it with wingmen
 
On a related subject. If you have an amphib. Hit the "G" key while the mission is loading if you are starting on water.

For CTDs check all of the normal suspects. Not sure how the Airfile can cause a CTD. One of the others might know.

Thanks, good to know. Curious, know of any downed aircrew for CFS 2? As in objects can place in the water? I have searched but found nothing.Wondering if its something that has never been addressed. Working on some PBY missions, could definitely make a challenging rescue mission for downed aircrew using triggers etc.Would like to have aircrew floating in a raft, mae west, etc.

I search old threads, it was not the airfile, it was a mdl file issue.
