Just raise the Flettner spawner a bit. And use holdobject 1 (which should be default for ship attached spawners anyway). Might look off, but it shouldn't bounce (too much). holdObject always causes a bit of "lagging" behind, that's why it only should be used on slow-traveling ships and sucks when being used on fast vehicles.

Yes I tried that, and it worked. But I still get that wierd vertex errors. It is flickering black lines that radiate out from different things lik base flags and other things. The errors dies out when I get some distanse to the ship I use for the spawn.

To day I made a Flying Magic Carpet of a Flettner:P. It's so funny, that I think I hide it somewhere in my map as a "easter egg".
I want it to be impossible to destroy.
It will never respawn.
It will stay where you leave it.
It will float on water.
It can only cary one person.
Both teams can use it.
If possible I want the pilot be able to get shot and die.
Primary fire spots targets for arty.
Secondary fire releases a lot of smoke.

Oh, almost forgot, It also breakdance after you park it hehe.

I used a carpet object from vanilla Bf1942 and added COl and shadow meshes. However, I'm new to 3dsmax 7, and I can't figure out how to add a bottom surface to the object so the carpet texture will be visible from below. As now the carpet is invisible from ground, and it looks corny with a soldier sitting in air:).

Edit: Also planning to implement the wardrobe from The Chronicles of Narnia. And maybe a weightless Flying saucer.

Another question, Is it possible to prolonge the spotting time?

Descriptors can only be assigned to Pco:s or rootobjects.
