Aircraft taking off..

[SGT Ben]

Hello, I'm having some trouble making my planes behave as they should, any help would be greatly appreciated.
The premis of my mission is of a civilian evacuation of nogova using the desert airstrip on the south-west side of the island. The civi's arive at the air base in cars/buses and get onto C130 (Hawk's C-130 v1.3). The player is nearby setting up airfield defenses and I thought it would add depth to actually be able to see the civi's leaving.
My origional problem was the planes taking off immediately rather than waiting for their passengers. I think I solved this by making the planes empty and having the civi's link up with a seperate pilot standing by the plane, then using a join & lead waypoint for the pilot and then boarding the plane. The current problem, is that they always want to make a right hand turn on takeoff and crash into a hill.
Can anyone sugget a fix? Thanks for any help.

if you have a new question, create a new thread rather than tacking your question onto the end of a similar thread - it keeps things simple in the long run, and anyone looking for the answer to this question won't be fooled by the other topic title

my suggestion would be to give the plane a flyinheight command within the waypoints. that should get the plane high enough above the mountainside to prevent the unwanted 'meeting'.
