Some of my maladroit approaches..

So while we wait for the downloads to be brought back up online, I was curious to find out how many of us are actually successful in bringing their respective birds down without pranging at Ísafjörður Airport in the stock Iceland terrain ! The AI very conveniently lands on the hill in front of the runway clears the top and then lands; Ive tried coming in the other way in a Hercules but no luck! The other aircraft I've tried is the Lightning. 7 times so far!

That plane was before its time.

Mauling Tut Night-time is the Right Time The Double Tail is back in Town

Please do share!

You are quite right Eric, in campaign McCoy AFB appears with no problem whatsoever. Well, if I come across a breakthrough, I will share it here, if that is anybody is as obsessive about historical realism-come to think about it its just another airfield!

Eric, I noticed that McCoy AFB is listed in the target.ini but it doesn't appear in the mission editor. Any reason for this? More pertinently, how do I get it to appear? Just want to fly U-2 missions is all. Thanks. Great job bringing this back to life.

Everything is quite bouncy-from Eagles to Fishpots to Dragon ladies; but FPS is up so its tweak till you freak, I guess!

Over Cuba

low and fast...works everytime...

I second what Fubar512 posted; my standard resort is to force a scissors at low altitude; if the terrain don't get him, I will.

Even when your computer is broke and you keep coming back to check CA!

I'd say keep all...more variety!

Look at your controls, and press the key assigned to select the target closest to the center of vision. As in you'll have to trawl through the visual commands section.

Closure Blast Off Old Warrior Now This Seafarer

Somewhat of a breakthrough... For the really old models instead of arco, if one enters cockpit as depicted below, it gets rid of the unsightly stuff. Its not perfect, but atleast you can see out of the front! [Hide1] ParentComponentName=Fuselage ModelNodeName=Cockpit DestroyedNodeName= ShowFromCockpit=FALSE HasAeroCoefficients=FALSE Thanks Fubar512 for giving me heads up on what I needed to look for. Man, this is intricate!

I checked the .out file. Somehow I don't find this ModelNodeName=arco line07, line08, and line 27 are present though Either that or it's the viewlist as I mentioned in the pm

Didn't work I'm afraid...I still think its the cockpit position that is porked.

Thank you!!! I can live with ghosts.

But it's very good!

"Tho' much is taken, much abides; and tho' We are not now that strength which in old days Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are; One equal temper of heroic hearts, Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield." From Ulysses by Lord Alfred Tennyson I'm no limey, but that's some stirring stuff, what!I think these lines were also quoted in Skyfall; though back in the nineties in a place once called Calcutta, there used to be a Physics teacher who'd open his first class with preceding verse from the same poem; "A bringer of new things; and vile it were For some three suns to store and hoard myself, And this gray spirit yearning in desire To follow knowledge like a sinking star, Beyond the utmost bound of human thought."

Right on...I'll wait; thanks ever so much! In the meanwhile...

Perchance, has anybody got the cockpit position nailed after the last update from Thirdwire sans the quickfix of commenting out the ShowFromCockpit=TRUE line? This is for Marcfighters Flankers.
