Rod is 100%

NOE is under 500 feet.

It's an arena setting.

Treize (pronounced 'trays')- because 'Treisprezece' is too long and even harder to pronounce.

I never called you a newbie. But, it was raised in version 1.09 or 1.10. It use to be lower than 500ft.

And I was trying to figure out when HT programmed a flight sim for AOL since I had back end access from about 1992 through 1999 or 2000 and never saw anything in the game area for a flight sim until AW for AOL. Anything is possible, I could have missed it. (Looking at my last programming contract from 1998 which I refused, which caused the eventual shutdown of a game area on AOL).

To drop a couple of names that HT might recognize... Larry Schick and Rob Jennings?

I have been playing for close to 5 years now ... it has always been lower than 500 ft AGL ... most don't know that.

If ya don't believe it ... go to an obscure part of the map where there are no friendlys in the sector ... lift off and once you are above 500 AGL ... you will light up the dar bar.

Both under 500, dot and bar.

dot dar is ALWAYS on ... unless radar has been porked.
