Title: tunnels?
Post by: Orig on February 21, 2004, 04:33:24 PM

Has anyone else seen the tunnels?  Know if there is a specific purpose for them?  I tried to fly a spitfire through one and hit prop on ground then slid all the way through it.  Neat.

Not sure exact location.  I took off from the farthest west field in the default country (the farthest east country?) and flew southwest towards where the two opposing V fields are right next to each other.  A little bit before the V fields and eastish of where those hills start, I noticed what looked like slivers of gray terrain tearing.  Going lower and flying near them revealed they were a completely different texture and there was a ramp going down, a short tunnel area, and a ramp going back up.  The ramps were terrain green, the walls of the ramp and ceiling of the tunnel area was a grayish structural stone tile texture.  There were a couple of these tunnels in the area, possibly to enhance vehicle combat as they were near those 2 V fields.

Right after this was taken I hit the ground... and slid for a while. I Finally hit those trees and died.:D

its just to ehance vehicle combat. Seems to be a good convoy ambush spot-the roads form a bridge over it. pics:

I flew through one.

































OK, I mean I slid through one at 150mph with a bent prop in front of me.
