Set Altitude

[VFA41_Lion]

Set altitude, which lets you set the altitude of any static object:

 

what possible use would I need for this in a mission? Why would I need to send any static object to 1000, 3000, 15000, 30000 feet in the air and stay there?

 

Because it does stay there, I set a C-130 to 1000 feet and its just floating there!

 

 

 

WHY?! :joystick:

I always wondered why that option was there but I never actually tried it. Useful for setting up air races perhaps. Much better than pylons.:D

I think that it's just an inherited feature from the bigger architecture. Can give wonky results if used "wrong", sure, but since you have to do it on purpose to make it happen...

 

But intentionally locking it out might spoil things for other uses, like the mentioned air races.

might be useful in hilly terrain to place a floating jtac above a battle but invisible.... not sure if the jtac would drop because ts not a static feature.

 

only thing i could think of....
