Hello Vivian, I tried the two settings above for the Canberra and tried the Spitfire again at dusk but I'm still getting the same results:( I get identical behaviour with the Canberra: I'm accelerating to about 10kt, cutting the throttle so I'm rolling down the runway, and then hitting the release. In both cases I leave a trail of stationary bombs floating behind me and when I hit the brakes I get a cluster of bombs at different pitches oriented around the origin (still the nose of the a/c atm) In the Spitfire I can still hear the guns firing until the ammo is out but I can't see any tracer at all, in either cockpit or external views. Once the ammo's all out I can re-set the count and the guns start firing again but still no visible tracer. This is really odd:-/ LeeE _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
