its not the script, its normal.
for instance:
when i select an ai airplane(any) on a runway
the ai steers to the right and takes goes into an object.

i set the airplane at a different angle(to the left maybe 45 degrees) the ai pilot takes off kind of sloppy, but the airplane goes airborne. maybe within 1minute the ai crashes


i realy dont know how to script (typing commands prior to a mission) or where to begin, but i know how to use almost everything else except for triggers in the mission editor. thank you  for your quick response and help oh yeah there are seldom proplems with helocopter almost never they follow waypoints and directions to the T  thanks again

Are you using a working runway?    That is, the north-south one the N Everon, N Malden or SW Nogova?  (Or on a custome island.)   There is at most one working runway per island.

The best way to make a plane takeoff is to put it on the taxiway facing south and give him a waypoint far away, where you want him to go.   He will taxi to the end of the runway and take off.   No scripts required.
