Changing Airfield

[edward77]

New to PC2 Cannot get change of airfield to work. Manual is very poor on this. Please give extra attention to the details.
Thank you.

Try this - my planes are currently based at the red-circle field.
One of my ground units captures that airfield at top (blue-circled)
I can now select my plane and click the 'Rebase" icon (yellow square at bottom left) and the newly-captured airfield becomes highlighted and that's a bingo, I can move my plane to it, but it won't be available for combat til next turn..
(Note planes can't rebase if its raining)

Does the act of capturing an Airfield allow the player to immediately transfer their planes during the same turn, I have the impression that it is possible only for the next turn in some cases ?

P.S.: The answer is in the picture

Yes, the turn number at top right confirms rebasing can be performed on the same turn that a field is captured...
And below is another test i just ran to double-confirm it, note the blue arrow at top right reads turn 2 in all the pics.
In pic 2 the car captures the airfield at bottom right, allowing us to hit the 'Rebase' button (yellow square at bottom left), and the plane rebases to the new field in pic 3-
Notes for newcomers about planes-
The three reasons for rebasing are firstly because a plane might not have enough range to reach a target from its home airfield, so it needs to rebase closer to the front line.
Secondly a plane flying from a field closer to the target gets a combat bonus for each unused hex of flight time because the pilot arrives fresher than he would after a longer flight.
Thirdly, if a planes current field is in danger of being overun by the enemy it needs to rebase out quick.
(Incidentally, bear in mind that newly-purchased ground units can't be placed in or adjacent to airfields)
