Hi Ataros

Small test, I selected a Hurricane and I appeared inside a hangar. So far so good, but when I opened the throttle the aircraft was very slow.

No wonder: I checked externals and all my tail was missing.

No idea what happened, no one else was in the server.

Thanks for feedback. i reported the issue. The reason is probably a strong wind turning aircraft inside a semi-open hangar.

Got it and soon testing it.. ;)
Thank You Ataros also for Your great contributions in this forum !

Thanks for the reply - that fixed it. I had all the boxes checked for switching and selection - unchecking let me select a plane :)

One thing I noticed was that the groups of vehicles always travel in a column. If possible, could it be scripted in so that when they engage an enemy unit, they change formation into a V (arrowhead) or line (abreast) to effectively put more fire down.

Maybe they could change formation based on whether they are in enemy territory too, like going from a column into a V (arrowhead), which is used when in unsafe off road terrain (as far as I know).

I've done some scripting for Arma 2, so wondered if similar things are possible here.

It's a small point, but I thought I'd mention it. Good mission though, nice showcase of what's possible in the game :)

Don't know if it is possible now.
