Don't forget, you could land on any ground field , it is not necessary to have a runway, though with a B747 that would be better :) > > Mathias has introduce a feature which makes that any solid object , > > .._when_???

YES it does , the snapshot is the whitness of a bad landing done by a bad pilot , since the helo is not in the circle area. It is not the whitness of a sliding aircraft close to fall in the water, it is there where it landed , following the ship moving. Cheers BTW: that recent update has now a funny consequence, we can land on the wakes of the ship, since the wake is a solid object. -- Gérard http://pagesperso-orange.fr/GRTux/ J'ai décidé d'être heureux parce que c'est bon pour la santé.
