I haven't yet tried that, but I have tried having the bo105 start from building rooftops and other placess I've landed before. The interesting thing is: that when I restart FG with those locations, it starts out all screwed up. Like the craft is embedded halfway inside the structure and then the "crash" routines run, and the AC is hosed. Or it seems like it started out a few feet higher in ALT and dropped to the surface and "crashed". But then, if I hit a "reset" from the menu, everything is right in the world as it was when I recorded the location and left the program and I'm able to start up and fly away. Very quirky bug. One more thing regarding the bo105 and the Nimitz. I've tried landing on the Nimitz with the bo105, and I seem to go down right through the deck until I'm at sea level. I've even seen parts of the Nimitz moving around me until it has passed me by leaving me in its wake and I'm on the ocean. The AC if perfectly fine (no "crash routines"), I can shut off engines, and even restart and lift off. Now I've seen the JPG of a P-51 on the flight deck, what's with the Helo? > > Dave > > _______________________________________________ > Flightgear-users mailing list > [email protected] > http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-users > 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d _______________________________________________ Flightgear-users mailing list [email protected] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-users 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
