Water bug.....
« on: June 10, 2000, 01:39:00 PM »
I was curious, and after this long I dunno if anyone has found this too. I took a C205 from 27, flew down the Big Hill, slowed, lowered my landing gear, and decended to the water. I expected for my plane to hit the water, do 8 cartwheels, and sink   (knowing what AH can do). I TOUCH DOWN, and roll to a stop. Huh? If we get ships, they better be on wheels, cause tat was like the RW at 27.

I really doubt that modelling the effects of landing/ditching in water was worth the effort for HTC yet  

BTW, anyone knows the photo sequence of a Bf 110 that is ditching in the channel in the Osprey 'Messerschmitt Bf 110 Zerstörer Aces of World War 2'?

It's very shallow water.

Oh how I've been waiting to interject one of these!

Pyro, if it's shallow water...it's undermodelled

Salute,

Is it too late to get downriggers in 1.03?

If so then perhaps at least rod holders?

Actually it's just a big blue tarp over the terrain to make it look like water.
