During some testing last night I noticed AIAircraft on the ground rising straight up and going out of sight. I assume that this is the same bug I had to deal with in AIGroundVehicles - the ground detection method is finding the AIAircraft and not the ground. The solution is simple - disable HOT for all AIAircraft. But that defeats the desire to have them solid AND a lot of work is required to add that to all the .xml files. I'm sure Mathias can come up with a more elegant solution Vivian ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
