Hi Guys. I've been looking at the glider concept from scratch last night. The first thing I did was add two hardpoints to two of the front elements of the glider, and coded them 1 & 2 as they are for the left and right side wing tanks for the P51b slot. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v30/ColG...

Col, I tried this out today with my new detachable float on the E15K "Norm" recon plane. All I did was change the 6th byte from '0' to '4' and off went the float sailing into the sunset. Remarkable sight! You can adjust the speed with another byte but honestly, once you let go of the rope...

I've downloaded a set of files from Shreck, but I need to know what's going on before I start cr...

guess we can't say "Jap" any more I was told off once in the SimHQ forum a couple of years back for using this expression by someone passing through. My response was that it wasn't anymore perjorative than "Brit", or "Jerry" come to that. Well, that's on a very overly politically correct forum. I'm...
