Anyone here get the add-on? I'm having quite a bit of fun with it, though I wish there were more pre-made missions!

Yep, flew it for a QMB missions on day 1 and have not flown it since. No real reason since it is a fun little aircraft. I was able to loop it and off field landings were fairly reasonable when flown using the patch with which it was released. Not sure how easy it would be to land it off field now since a user made airfield we flew from on the Normandy map for almost a year before the last two patches has become practically unusable?

Oh interesting! What about the airfield was unusable, in what way? The pre-made mission I believe uses the Normandy map but you start out already in the air. I've done some practice take-offs and off-field landings after detaching from the tow plane. I really have enjoyed seeing what maneuvers I can do while still attached to the tow plane.. I'm ashamed to say I've caused the crash of that tower more than several times.

If you are talking about the airfield we custom made the ground texture became so rough that you almost always bounced your nose into the ground trying to take-off or land.

If you open the Normandy map and look at the largest of the three islands in Grid 0119 np 6 we built an airfield on that island.

We were able to take off and land at our custom built airfield with limited problems until a recent patch made very difficult to takeoff and next to impossible to land without nosing over.

Thanks for the update! Yeah the texture there looks very rough - don't they tie the bump-mapping of the texture to the roughness in the sim?

One thing I forgot to ask, did you set the terrain roughness?

Not sure how the terrain roughness in the graphic settings would affect the smoothness of the terrain while interacting with it but it is set to low.
I thought the graphics settings were strictly for the visual representation of the image and not the physical interaction between you and the terrain.

Ah, at one point I thought they introduced it to tie in with the effect on ground vehicles... I could be wrong though!

As could I.
