I did some .air file and .cfg editing on a russian VTOL (don't remember what it was exactly) and I found that the thrust direction seemed to be tied with the flaps. in order to get it to point straight down, I changed the flap setting so that they would go just over 90*. The only thing that kept it from working perfectly is that I couldnt add the lift engine. I don't know why, but nothing I did to the engine portions of the files would make it so that the lift engine was placed where it needed to be. This plane had three engines, two had TV nozzels and funtioned as main engines, and the third was smaller and was mounted right behind the cockpit and pointing straight down, but it was only eye candy. The lift engine was not actually included in the .air and .cfg files.

P.S. yeah that was off topic, but we were also talking about VTOLs. I think it's possible, I just don't know how to do it.

" . . . the only time that ms changed the fs website was when they were preparing to release the next version."

Out west here we refer to this as -- [glb]airware[/glb].

P.S. to R.B.: "BTW - I'm feeling generally ratty today - so don't upset me."

. . . just the way we like you --

Surely everyone must be getting tired of all this juvenile speculation about FS2006

If someone has some real info - which they won't have because anyone actually involved with MS would be fired if they published anything without official permission (even the 'unofficial' Blogs by employees are sanctioned) - then post it. Otherwise, what's the purpose of this stuff?

Can't we have a 'Rumours About The Next Version' forum which could go right down to bottom of the SimV forum then anyone interested could go look and all we others needn't bother.

Anyway, why is this in the FS2004 forum - it has NOTHING to do with FS2004

>:(

It seems here lately you are always feeling ratty.





Ahh.. Mobay. I was a different person before July of this year - round about the first week or so. All sweetness and light I was.

Something must have happened about that time...any idea what it might have been  ???

Yeah, I know its possible to have proper VTOL.
If a payware dev got some idear from the plane I posted.
Imagine how good of a plane they could make!
It would be hugely successful.

Hmm. your greatest nemesis joined the board and ruined your life. Happy I can help!  

Shouldn't there be a 'handbags' forum for this sort of thing? ;D ;D ;D
