Do you hear something.....?

A narrow escape

Got this cool tank here at SIMV in Misc.

The inner wheels rotate but, the tracks don't

Also, a cool gun effect would be nice for returning fire Grin

Still a lot of fun Shocked

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

It's not a mission.I used this recorder module to record the tanks "flight":

Then played it back as traffic and tried to drop bombs on it with this weapons pack:

Cool shots, that tank looks nice as well. FSX only I take it?

I've got several different M1A1's that I use for static scenery and have always wanted to model one for AI use. Animating the treads though would take some thought to figure out.

This one's actually pilotable!Although there is no panel besides GPS Sad

Sorry for that

For some reason on this model the props show up as solid shadows on the ground.Usually I have shadowing on though.
Thanks for the feedback Wink

Default scenery shadows can be heavy on FPS, this is a much better option. Also, the A/C shadow option would effect that.

Thanks Paul for bringing this to my attention Wink
