For enemy aircraft spawing near the ground, I will often just place something, such as box or lookout tower temporarily while adjusting the spawn. I delete the box or tower, and then just make it a child of the terrain, so it won't slide around again.
@EternalDarkness The spawner can be tricky because you can't "see" how far away the arrow tool is. I just query the height with the terrain tool and set it for a meter or so above. You can also make the start location a child of the runway, and adjust up just a bit. Hope this helps!
@EternalDarkness If you were feeling Really Crazy, you could print off the black and white heightmap on an inkjet printer and use water (with a paintbrush) to smooth by hand, rescan and import as a RAW file.
@EternalDarkness Exactly, what I was thinking on the target approach, I suppose I articulated it poorly! Anyway, there is a better free brush set as well, and the terrain toolkit is also free, and better than many paid utilities!
You can also create rough ramps by pulling a series of "steps" with the Paint Height Tool, and then just smooth the terrain. Terrains in Unity are somewhat limited; but you can bypass this by using a model of a ramp textured to match the terrain. I think you could build it in blender easy enough, and import.
@EternalDarkness I really like the tank Biathalon idea as well! There is the cannon mod for launching artillery projectiles... You could just fab up targets as inert AI, or use the convoy trucks and such...
With Unity anything you can script you can realize! With @HellFireKoder helping, you have a lot of resources!
@EternalDarkness I understand that! I just bought it since it was a cheap ($7; IIRC), useful tool by an indie developer, I've really not used it enough to determine it's overall power.
((On a Total side note: You can also have people put funds into Paypal, if you have no physical bank account and such, so that you can still have liquid assets. (I'm not saying for buying Unity assets or anything, just saying that in general.)
@EternalDarkness The ramp tool is great for this, but I don't think it is free, but all the assets go on sale ~(40% off) periodically. Enjoy and feel free to ask any questions. (The Unity version you want is 5.3.6 ; BTW!)
@Joco80 Care to help with this one? I like to build landscapes, but I would rather have someone else take over the rest of city design... textures and any fun features!
My focus isn't so much looking good or bad, but more like a "wounded/damaged" version of an aircraft.
The focus of the Mod will be a series of piloting challenges to test our skills!
Bonus points for backstory (Why was it hastily repaired to be soooo Janky/Kludged)!
Bonus points for not flying strait! (Without going into a flat spin!)
Aircraft must be able to land at Bandit (Dirt), or make an emergency water landing. Landings do not have to be intact, but any crew stations must remain intact. @MethaManAircraft @Daviwavy
@BaconEggs I'm not sure that Jelly = Janky, but hey I'm going by the entries, not the origin.
The optimum Jank would be an Aircraft repaired after a jungle landing, or perhaps repaired after being shot up, or simply just shot up and hard to fly!
@Visify :D (BTW, your avatar is how I used to picture people talking when I was getting lectured as a young child; it is so hard to look ashamed whilst trying not to laugh!)
@Ctracerx2 I understand that! I was just having a similar problem with collisions on a map I am tinkering with. It ended up I needed to put the collisions on the smaller items, rather than the set! I hope the map building goes well, feel free to shoot me any questions!

@BogdanX Janky: Poorly constructed or put together, and does not seem like it should function at all, although it may perform beyond expectations. (Syn. Kludged)
The harder to fly the better, whilst being still flyable!

@EternalDarkness No worries, I'm glad you enjoy it! Sometimes the order Mods are enabled in matters, or it just needs to be rebooted to see it. Also, the file is a "zipped' SP file, so SP will slow down to expand it the first time you open, and not sort correctly (alphabetically).

@EternalDarkness Go for it! It's way fun! My old Atoll map has some good amphibious crossings, but a bit deep!
@Pianoman :D Gosh, thanks! Maybe, I'll get to making a Scariff map!

@AudioDud3 :D
Flies like a dream! (Landing is a bit rough, but not too bad, if you ride with it!) (Official score released on the 27th, Thanks for the entry!)
WOWzahS!

@jamesPLANESii Thanks for the spotlight!
@Kerbango Oh, yeah!
@Joco80 I shall, I just posted it!
@MAHADI Bummer! You can enter if you link it, anyway!
@Joco80 No worries, though I do have another project to recruit your help on... :)

@Kerbango Landed it!
@Kerbango :D Perhaps I was a little ambiguous with a very plastic word! Though I have never heard the usage applied to anything but inanimate objects;
@Visify 4-27, one week from today, is this enough time do you think?

Thank you, I hear that, it's mostly to recruit very difficult to fly aircraft. The real challenge is making an AT-AT that the AI can control!

@Supermini555 Thank you! I like to share what I can!
@Joco80 I knows not about Androidia! In the PC version you simply take stuff out of the Mod folder.
@Lizarddragon
@AudioDud3 I always thought Ewoks should have claws like Wolverine...
I my imagination they do... Only Lucas got it wrong from very poorly conducted Xenobiological observations. :D
