lt_eurofighter, thank you for the info, very much appreciated.
Issue I suspect is due to the lack of wing collision boxes in the test beta. Hopefully this will be resolved when wing collision boxes are added in the final version.
Unfortunately I have been sidetracked by the F7F-3N Nighcat update and associated projects, like an air launched RP-54 target/recon/decoy jet powered drone with a ballistic parachute recovery system (if target or recon modes are selected). For mission makers, the RP-54 can be air launched from player or AI F7F-3N aircraft and made to parachute down in a specific area over sea or land by placing a drone recovery zone object on the mission map.
cheers mace
