Me-163 software glich funny as hell!

[stalkervision]

I have to just share this little software glitch with someone that I found. When you let the autopilot land the Me-163 out of nowhere the droppable dolly that is normally attached to the skid on a "sharp start" take off and released to be used again will appear below the plane fly up and "reattach" it's self to the jet! This must have been a secret german invention that came real late in the war and is quite impressive! If one hits the "gear up" button over and over and over the jet will first drop the dolly and then the dolly will fly right back up and reattach it's self to the plane. LOL! Mind you I am not complaining. It is really enjoyable watching this happen. If you land the 163 manually this doesn't happen whatsoever so it is no problem at all. I just wanted to share this funny little software glitch with you all. I think you guys that develop these third party planes on your own to share with all us software dummies are the most excellent people I know of. Keep up the excellent work. You are the best of the best of the best!

It is not a glitch but a workaround to the problem that the game engine does not support dropable gear or takeoff dollies like the Me-163. Similar workaround is in the Bachem Natter, actually the Natter was a vertical takeoff, like a rocket, but the game does not support that either.
