UPDATE: Pitti's automatic spawn point generator tool is attached. This tool allows you to quickly and accurately set spawn points,

1. Follow the process up to the FIRST THREE POINTS laid down where you want the line of spawns to start from and save the mission file, then exit the FMB
2. Open the mission file in file explorer and copy those coords under the new [airdrome_Points] section in the file, for example.

161353.04 187015.22 1
161341.92 187141.65 2
161348.37 187151.78

These are coords for each of the 3 points.

3. Paste them into the "Input" box of the generator
4. Set how many spawns you want to create and how far apart you want them to be (20 is good for spawn distance)
5. Set the angle you want them lined up on (in degrees)
6. Hit Generate
7. Copy the code produced and paste it into the .mis file OVERWRITING the coords data you originally copied. Save the .mis and close it
8. Open the mission in the FMB and check your spawn. Adjust by repeating the process above as necessary.

NOTE. This ONLY sets extra spawns to save you hitting Ctrl+B and adjusting. It does not set up runways nor anything else so follow the other instructions above too.
