But least realistic... When was the UFO last sighted at SFO in real life? I don't want to see 10 ufos around SFO because people are testing a new model. What that other Flight Simulator seems to do is to substitute in something similar for exmaple (/me reaches for his Pc Pilot) a 707?? being substituted in for a Learjet??. (For your ref. PC Pilot, UK, Issue 38 Page 59). I did notice that Microsoft haven't solved the mismatch in terrain heights when playing multiplayer. That is Player A tells Player B's computer to position A plane at 10ft above sea level but Player B's simulator has terrain at 13ft. From B's point of view, A will be low in the ground. (Where did your undercarriage go?) Whereas A will see B suspended in mid air. Flightgear has the same issue if you don't have the terrain tile loaded.
