Title: one more question fo you folks
Post by: orangepine on May 29, 2006, 05:36:08 PM

What is the highest airfield you can make on AH that will actual be at that alt when you run the game?

When ever I make a field 65K chich TE says is the max alt then I run it in game that field is usaly below ground or something odd.

So what is the max alt a airfield can be.

I need to know because the airfield will not be for plane take off but for GV take off.

I need my base to be at the highest alt it can be.

I believe it's either 32,767 or the full max integer 32,768? Never went that high, so I don't remember.

its a signed short int, so you have the possability to go from 32,767 to -32,767. Can make for some intresting situations. Although, thats is storage type Its probably converted into a float when its within the engine.

Also too, there is a logical limit to the ground level, it cannot be bellow zero. You can set it to -10,000 but when flying it will negate it to 0 feet.
