Hi All,

I use quick combat free flight scenario to test my models, but all of a sudden it no longer lets me start from in the air, when i do it puts me at max hieght and i cant see the aircraft, just the noise. i can bail out and my man skydives for a little while and then pulls the chute. so i can onlt test my mossie etc from the runway which it works fine from there.

Any ideas anyone i'd be greatful as i only wanna quickly check some stuff and it burns into modelling time if i have to keep taking off ...... although on the bright side i will be a pro at getting airbourne in a mossie. lol

Hi all, i will try both of these and hopefully it will sort it one way or another. cant understand why its done it, as i havent changed anything. oh well more wonders of the tech world, lol.

Cheers lads,

Dave
 
ok, i deleted the uisel.xml thingy, loaded back up, tried the stock p47, it worked, tried the horrible stock mossie it worked, tried the new mossie and ........... still the same. :(
 
Dave.
At the moment all my work is bieng done from the runway, as I am testing ther light.

I have just tried your scenario`s and get the same result.

So its either a model problem with the Mossie or the Air files.

Will look at my side and get back to you.

just checked that, and its correct for the mossie. if the little marker on the alt gauge represents thousands which i'm assuming it is then we have the highest flying mossie ever cos it puts us at 100 thousand, lol. max hieght of the hud gauge. long way to parachute down from, lol.

I say old chap, you've invented the stealth Mossie (always was a bit, being wood, not as refelective as metal), but look at the nose down view from 94.000+ ft. How the hootin' heck did I get up there? No wonder my nose is exploding!:jump:
 
I'd suggest getting AirWrench and using it to look at the FM. You don't need to pay just to see what the parameters are like, only if you want to edit them. The nice thing about AirWrench is it takes the aircraft.cfg into account as well as the .air file.

Ooops it was me!!!!

The problem is definatly in the XDP.

I have just sustituted another Mossie XDP and changed the name before the .m3d

Works a treat. Leave it with me as I have obviously made a bit of a rickit!!!!

I purchased AirWrench about 5 years ago, and used it regularly when I was more active in CFS.

Will be using it for final tweaking.
 
you mean no more space travel ..... lol.

Just glad it was figured out before i go away morrow.

Hope you didnt get too dizzy Jeff, i took to bailing and taking in the whole of england, lol.

Nice one Kev on finding the prob.

I'd really like to know what that was. Weird or wot?

BTW it'd be worth you updating your copy of AirWrench, Jerry has not been idle these last five years and updates for existing users are free.
