does the Picton ferry scenario work?

Overall Neil start simple... my first step was to shift the Nimitz into wellington harbour and give it different starting points, then I played with getting a tanker to circle around NZWN.... check the syntax....IIRC the AI scenario and the flight plan use different syntax's for lat, long and speed....DO NOT MIX THEM... summary; DO NOT use <type>ship</type> in your scenario DO check the syntax of the lat/long/KTAS parameters in your FP Cheers Dene NZWN ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
