Question about spawn points / AI spawning

[Old-Banger]

I too have noticed this problem, and am very keen to know if there is a work-around. For some time I have been happily making maps and testing them via my own 'server' in Muliplayer, and did not realise this shows up only on a dedicated server.

So far my only options have been to have AI air-starting, or taking off from another base. Both are highly unsatisfactory.

Maybe I am missing the problem.

I have a map I built for an online dogfight.It has one airfield that has both human and AI.

I start the game using either the ingame browser(server option) or Hyperlobby.I join and I am put in a human plane that is behind the AI on the runway.I just sit there until they take off and watch them fly into the mountains on takeoff before I taxi down the runway and take off.

This is the point. You do not create the plane yourself (press "Create" button) which means you do not have a Spawn Area object placed on map or you have "player" checkbox ticked for one of AI planes.

Ataros:

I was not clear on that point.After I select the flag and then base I choose my plane and then click create.It then puts me in a human plane.

Gromic:

I have not tried your mission yet but I suspect my lack of the bug is because I have no scripts or sub-missions.On my map the AI are loaded during the mission loading before humans join.On yours humans have joined and then you run a sub-mission.
