You can't fly between strands ;-) because the whole suspension chain is made with a solid wall textured with a transparent image. But there is nothing above the main cables. The wall is like this : <ascii art> +- -+ | \ / | | \ H / | | \____/ | +------------+ </ascii art> H being the helo in the picture. So you are inside the bounding box/sphere of the object and perhaps the algorithm has a flaw here. Or it does not behave correctly with vertical objects. Just guessing. -Fred _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
