Having two aircrafts flying simultaneously!

[Credo]

I want to have two aircrafts flying simultaneously. So I launch one aircraft and drive it out of the runway and then return to space center. But when I want to return, I get the message below:

The game cannot be saved at this point. Leaving now will set you back to the last saved state. The last save was 50s ago. Are you sure you wish to proceed?

But I return to space center anyway and then SPH again and launch another aircrat. But then I get the message below:

"Aircraftname" is already on the runway

With options to either recover the last aircraft and launch the current one or abort the launch.

I've also tried quicksaving the first aircraft and then launching a new one. The quicksave won't work on the ground so I get the first aircraft in air and then quicksave and go back to SPH to launch a new one. But when I want to launch it, I again get the message the the last aircraft is already on the runway.

So I can't have two aircrafts simultaneously on air. But from what I've seen on youtube and also my own experience with having several spaceships simultaneously in orbit, this doesn't seem correct. So...what's wrong here?

Thanks

Never mind guys, I got it working. Looks like I only had to stop the first aircraft parallel to the runway!

Seems to me that you're just simply not driving the first plane far enough off the runway. 

You definitely should be able to do what you're trying. Try going quite a ways further away, see if that works.

To save and return to space center then spawn a new vessel, your active vessel must be both NOT

- on the runway/launchpad where you want your second vessel to spawn

- under "acceleration."

If you're not in space, the second requirement means "landing or splashed down, and NOT MOVING." That is key. In the past, Kraken bites on splashed vessels left them bouncing around on the water, unable to pause, recover, or abandon. Fun times!

So, get your plane out of the (rather large, honestly) "runway zone" and make sure your brakes are on.
