4.13.2 de-bugging

[Baddington_VA]

On occasion, a particularly funny thing can happen on online servers. What follows is a combination of theory and observations: apparently player aircraft that should be removed (e.g. after landing & hitting refly) can somehow leave an unoccupied static plane behind (!). It's not just a graphic bug, these ghost planes, although rare, are very real and solid.

It does happen when the online mission allows spawning from static aircraft.
If you land at a field that is not the one you took off from, a static plane remains where you landed.
It's good practice to get off the runway before hitting refly.

It also happens that if you take for example an A20 from airfield A
And land at airfield B which also happens to spawn A20s, a static plane will be left where you finished. But then you can spawn at airfield B in an A20, and
it will spawn you where your previously flown A20 was standing as a static aircraft.

It's not so much a bug as a useful tool
All these static aircraft disappear once the mission ends.
