We can get the plans to make perfect approaches east or west but they pull away just before touchdown.

Take works fine east/west.

Its only the last 150 meters before landing thats a problem.

I know you guy's do great work;impossible for me. How about setting the runways up to support larger aircraft:C130s ,C17s and the likes. Having buildings so close to the taxi ways kills the bigboys :o.Also a little wider for them to turn. Anyway its an idea I had Thanx people and keep up the excellent work. ;D

The tutorial can be found here:

Note: There seems to be a bug in the OFP engine that prevents all directions working properly.

Any heading/direction within 50 degrees either side of North or South works fine.

For any other direction/heading, the plane will line up and approach correctly, only to pull away at the last minute.

i.e.

If you heading is:
·   Between 0 degrees and 50 degrees - Works
·   Between 50 and 130 degrees - Doesn't work
·   Between 130 and 180 degrees - Works
·   Between 180 and 230 degrees - Works
·   Between 230 and 310 degrees - Doesn't work
·   Between 310 and 360 degrees - Works

I have mentioned this to BIS, so hopefully they might sort it in a patch. If / when they do, everything should then work properly. ;)
