3. due to realistic terrain there are some fields that ai cant make the landing happen, wau wont allow a c-47 to land due to collision with nearby hills, plane can come in low in valley but when making approach it circles and hits hills.

Beautiful terrain but quirky to build on.. anyone have similar problems or ideas..?

1 When you set a runway it puts the icon there. Have you tried runway #5 or #6 (the invisible runways, usually used for seaplanes) and just place one of those over the actual buna runway? just make sure in properties section you assign it to correct team.

2. Make sure you have the option Despawn AI AC after they land and park unchecked.

As for the betty's change their speed to a lower value, one that you can keep up with. Well according to pacific war online encyclopedia, at 3000m good cruising speed for betty's is 315km/hr. Might I ask what plane you are trying to use to keep up with them?

3. What is your waypoint altitude (the waypoint just prior to the landing one) for the C-47s? Remember WAU is in the mountains, so set height accordingly. I E don't have it set to 500m.

Yes I tried runways 4-6 some made them land in the parking area or into the trees and I set it to blue properties

Betty can't keep up when human flown overheats to quickly even at 75 power and same pitch rad 4 etc, dropped to 280 and ok

Will check with I spawn etc when I get home

Wau waypoints were 1200 at waypoint before final set for straight in so circled anyway and eventually crashes

Salamua also makes planes spawn off the field in a swamp there is only 1 point on that field but it to works as taxi to take off.
