Recluse Posted November 24 Posted November 24 (edited) Moved from the main OnReTech forum where i posted originally by mistake. There is a taxi way to some Aircraft shelters at Ramon airbase just off Runway 25R: (Image below). This taxiway and the ground in and around the shelters is extremely sticky a la the "DEVIL GRASS". At least in the Harrier, If I keep power on, once I exit the runway, I can manage it, but if I stop or slow down, getting started again requires FULL POWER and then the jet lurches ahead. Very hard to park. What is up with this section of Tarmac?? Is it eye candy and not intended for actual use??? Edited November 24 by Recluse

Recluse Posted November 24 Author Posted November 24 (edited) Agreed that the ground is not properly modeled, but it is larger than it appears in that map screenshot. Lots of room to taxi in/out/through the Aircraft Shelters. I was wondering why the map shows it up as GREEN as well, so maybe it thinks it is GRASS despite the fact that in game it looks like pavement. Would really appreciate it if you (or anyone) could test and let me know if you observe the same thing. No Taxiway markers, so maybe you are right and it is for support vehicles but not aircraft.

THANK YOU!! I meant to check it with another aircraft as well. There are SOME aircraft that do better in the grass than others, but most of them get stuck pretty easily.
