Flying boats?

Well, alright, flying ships then...

Had a weird experience the other day. I downloaded the German Heavy Cruiser from the CombatFS site - didn't have much luck in getting the associated mission to work properly but... a few days later, on patrol at about 5,000 feet over the English Channel, looking for bombers,  I suddenly see a 'flight' of heavy cruisers, tumbling end-over-end towards me! Unfortunately they all crashed into the sea before I could get a shot in - no wings, you see...
5,000 feet, full flaps, throttle down, head down, butt up, here we go! NoooseDiiiiiive!!!

That's because you were looking too low for the enemy ships.....

LOL

Yes, I did - and removed it pretty sharply after my x-files experience! Really funny though - At first I thought it was a group of disembodied wings flying towards me, then I worked out what they were...

Once agian I've also had the same problem and here is the solution
http://www.simviation.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=cfs3;action=display;num=1068580875;start=0

1. In other words go into you CFS3/Aircraft/ folder

2. open up the ships folder open up the ships .XPD file

3. look for "AllowSpawn=" change it from "AllowSpawn=y" to "AllowSpawn=n"

that make that boat/plane/etc not randomly spawn During the game


hope that helps

Believe half of what you see, 1/4 of what you hear, and nothing that I say
