Where'd my invisble drones go?
« on: May 11, 2009, 01:51:10 PM »
Landing bomber formation, external views no longer show drones - land, all land safe.

At what point do my drones disappear from external view?  When I lower gear?

You know what I mean.

They don't disappear when you drop your gear they go into a landing approach, they will automatically land so you might not see them landing if you lowered your gear a decent distance fro the airfield

they will form up behind you in a trail formation, not a delta as they usually are in.

Also, they stop rather quickly on the runway. And dive really fast to a given 'landing' altitude.

I've had them land on a different runway on a Medium Field than I did before.  Out in the field before the runway.  On a hill.
