Nope.... Thanks for the suggestion Gomez.... My shuttle will fly to the first waypoint but will immediately RTB upon completing the first waypoint. It is definitely FLAT land I am setting the deploy waypoint on.... Anyone got any other ideas? Two other things... 1: How come I can't set waypoints when my AE is down on the planet? If I beam down, (I want to see the shuttle land.. I just think that would be cool), I need to set the shuttle waypoints BEFORE I leave as the button is disabled (turns red) as soon as I transport off the CC... Should this be the case? I would assume I should still have full control over plotting waypoints irrespective of whether or not I am on the CC. 2: Collision detection on buildings only seems to work when I walk.... not run... I can run right through them... I havent checked the known issues section yet so please don't shoot me if both of these are already mentioned! But seriously folks, the shuttle deploy thing is my main concern right now... before I depart earth for a more hostile planet!

Hey all, Another newbie here.... although I'm learning quickly.... but one problem.... Just like previous posts, I cannot get a shuttle to land and deploy an OC. I have followed the manual letter for letter. I can do it if I'm in control, but I'd rather not be I've even taken great pains to ensure the land is FLAT. When I set a single waypoint for my shuttle, one of 2 things happen: 1: The shuttle enters the stmosphere and then for no reason at all, hightails it back to the CC. So I try to tell it to 'flyto' an object nearby (to get it near the planet surface) and then reengage the waypoint. The shuttle then shuts down and gently floats back to earth where it'll sit there until I give it an order other than a waypoint. 2: OR I get this, the more "successful" behaviour. The shuttle will enter the planet and head to the waypoint. But instead of landing it will just circle (ITS DEFINITELY FLAT LAND!). Anyone got any ideas? I really hate having to fly the shuttle myself... as the SC says: quote: !!! Like the manual says, NEVER let your AE get in harm's way. He's not James T. Kirk you know
