Title: Start airplanes in JTW
Post by: moepkid on August 21, 2020, 02:24:13 AM

Hey all!,

I was wondering how I start the jets in the JTW module. I started the topgun mission, but couldnt even start the engine. Does somebody got some pointers for me? Thanks!

Also, can I remove the squadron number on the sided of my airplane? I like some skins, but the big 01 kind of ruins it.

Check if your jet has more than one engine. If you have 'separate engine start' selected then hitting your ignition key will do nothing until you have selected a specific engine - that has caught me out more than once!

Uncheck 'markings on' in the arming screen - that will remove the red number (unless it is part of the selected skin, of course).

Thanks! maybe a stupid question, but do you know why we dont have a Luiftwaffe or something ww2 related german air force in the WAW module?

There is, of course.
Look around

(the same countries are present in each and every module - sometimes named a tad differently, particularly in DOF)


Btw, it is also recommended to deactivate (set to off) all the fancy flightmodel aero realism settings in JTW, as a great many flightmodels there are fancy java dependent and these stock-game features may result in effectively unrealistic behavior.

thanks however, I miss luftwaffe or anything german related. I only have "German Democratic Republic" it seems in the WAW module :(

EDIT: Im stupid, I saw tghat you need to set your plane to the other team. Thanks!
