Vehicle Spawn Trouble....

I put some vehicle spawns in my map for an ARC-170. I put the actual vehicle spawns here:
it's the ones closest to the center of the circle
It works, but the problem is, the 170 is over here:
Its all the way off the platform directly across from the vehicle spawn. It doesn't make any sense. I even tried moving the vhicle spawn up to accomodate for any space problems it might have, but it didn't work.
As always, any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Off-topic: Anyone Know how to fix the HUD icon for the DC-15 carbine?

you didn't place them, so they spawned on each other and pushed the one(s) down?
or maybe you have the Vehicle Spawn INTO the mesh, so it 'slides' down...? I think it's best to have the arrow/vehicle spawn a few feet above the ground

I'm trying to raise it now.
I just set it up normally like I would with any other vehicle spawn, even before now, I had them farther apart and it still spawned off the platform.
Edit: nope, didn't work, I don't get it, I'll try spreading them out.
Edit2: BAH!! I had been moving the wroing vehicle spawns this whole time! I'll try moving the others.
Edfit3: I tried moving the correct vehicle spawn, but it stayed in the same position, just above where it used to be.

To fix the HUD problem just add hudtag = "hud" to the non-ordnance ODF.
Have you been resizing the map at all halfway during the making of the map? That could be the problem.

No resize, it's a mygeeto map so i'm not even doing anything with the terrain. The vehicle just stays in the same position, the only way it moves is up and down.

Did you change the map size? If the map dimensions are not a power of 2, then things move around.

It has to be: 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024 etc...
Just click terrain and new terrain, only the terrain stuff will be chagned, no objects.

I did not change the map size or anything, it just doesn't feel like cooperating!

Try just moving the vehicle spawn so that the arc-170 appears in the right position.

what is the name of the platform?
reason I'm asking is that make sure it doesn't have this command in the odf:
DenyFlyerLand = "1"

It's myg1_bldg_large_base, and it doesn't have that line, Big_rich
@aa256 - Heck no!!!! Do you know how long that would take! My whole map is objects. No offense, And in any other situation, I would, buit it took me hours to make this map, I don't want to start over.

Sorry for the bump and double post, but I think I know what the problem is.
ARC-170s cannot land on objects! I just found this out because I tried to land on one of the platforms, but when I did, the fighter kept moving over until it was off the platform! does anyone know how to fix this problem?

I don't know how to fix this, but this looks like a really cool map, is there anything i can help with other than your current problem?

That just sounds wrong to me. Space captial ships are made of objects.
Throw in some landing regions.
Box the spawn section in with other ojects so the ship can't slide around.
If nothing works, you can use the Lua and spawn a ship on a path instead of using spawn points.

I tried it myself
'Zerted, It does sound wrong. I don't know why it won't land either.
I don't know how to make landing regions, do you just type "landing" in the properties box?
