    Getting a full flight or more (>=8) to take off.

    When one makes a mission with a full flight of 8, or more if one knows how, normally. for 2-4 engine aircraft, only 2 or maybe 3 of the flight actually take off from the runway, the rest are circling around above the airbase. Has anyone, I'm thinking ACC guys or Ted, thought if it's possible? I mean something similar to this https://www.398th.org/Images/Images_...sTaxiiing.html
    I know this is normally determined by the runway objects file. such as for ACC_Graveley_42a.xdp whichin this case is

    ?xml version="1.0"?>
    <UnitData>
    <General Allegience="" LongName="Test Standalone Airbase" ShortName="Airbase" ModelName="" BlastDamageScale="1.0" ImpactDamageScale="1.0" FireDamageScale="1.0" Priority="2" Type="static" EnteredService="01/01/1944" BlastDamageMod="0" ImpactDamageMod="0" FireDamageMod="0" AllowSpawn="n" Category="airbase" Country="neutral">
    </General>
    <Description String=""/>
    <Loadouts/>
    <GunStations/>
    <DamageBoxes/>
    <Systems/>
    <Airbase>
    <Runway Start="0 0 -1000" Stop="0 0 1000" Width="50" Turn="10000" SurfaceType="concrete"/>
    <Routes>
    <Route>
    <Point Position="100 0 -1000"/>
    <Point Position="0 0 -1000"/>
    </Route>
    <Route>
    <Point Position="100 0 -950"/>
    <Point Position="0 0 -950"/>
    </Route>
    <Route>
    <Point Position="100 0 -800"/>
    <Point Position="0 0 -800"/>
    </Route>
    <Route>
    <Point Position="100 0 -750"/>
    <Point Position="0 0 -750"/>
    </Route>
    </Routes>

    </Airbase>
    </UnitData>

    I forget the relevance of point positions as in

    <Point Position="100 0 -800"/>
    <Point Position="0 0 -800"/>
    and the relation with

    Runway Start="0 0 -1000" Stop="0 0 1000"

    So is it possible (for a non player ac) to start on a taxiway and take off on the runway?
