B-24 drone bug
« on: February 13, 2005, 12:44:59 PM »
:confused: When flying the B-24, I noticed that on landing approach, when I put 4 notches of flaps on, the drones disappear...wuzzup with that?

I don't know if something changed, but in the past, when you put your flaps on, the drones do not and they pass you.  They climb, to try to slow, then drop, climb drop... Because of this, I don't use flaps when landing with drones.

When you drop your gear, the drones land.  So if you use flaps and land, your drones will land short of the runway.

Nope you don't get it.  Original post is absolutely correct.  There is a big fat stinky bug in current version.  Lower full flap on bombers and drones go *Poof*.

I posted about it already but you know about feedback here et al.:rolleyes:
I get really really tired of selective realism disguised as a desire to make bombers easier to kill.

That could be.  I have flown B-24 formations, but never used flaps when landing.  Thanks.
