Title: Newbie TE question
Post by: NUTTZ on August 22, 2000, 04:35:00 PM

I just started to figure this out, and have a question  about elevation. Lets just say my terrain will have absolutly nothing to do with historical accuracy, but will be a "fantasy" design. Can you have a negative elevation? lets say water then land and in the land a cavern? If not, ok, if so, how?

No you can not have a negative elevation. We ran into this problem in the closed beta, and Hitech basically explained that the game design simply doesn't allow it.

Then, could i " trick" the editor to believe the water is,,,, lets say,,, 1000 feet with land 1000 feet and in the land i would be able to have 1000 feet "craters"?

If i used 1000 feet as a base?

Yes, that should work.  Just remember to remind your pilots to recalibrate their altimeters.  Sea Level is *not* zero  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
