We're not. There seems to be a bug whereby if you get a particular launch angle speed then it does funny things to the flight path.

However, I still win :-)

How do you insert an image? Please save me hours of experimentation and a whole series of cock-ups before I say 'Aaah, is that all there is to it'

Thanks BB. You just wait 'til when you're a toasted mouse. Then lofe takes on a whole new meaning. :D

That was Alpha Centauri and back? Looks like you ran out of fuel about .7 lightyears from earth. :lol:

Not that anyone could give a toss, but I used -13 launch angle, 100 strength of throw and 8 degrees on the wings.

Now I think I'll go back to sleep for a while........ :cry:

Although few seem to care, I have now managed to throw the paper plane backwards nearly sixty metres. It appears far harder to fling it over your head to any great distance and so I claim victory buy a tenious and wildly optomstic default.

And also as I can only chuck it eighty odd metres in the correct direction

QuoteWhat ARE you suggesting? 8O

I am suggesting that u have the exact same values on angle, thrust, elevator, altitude, max altitude, revolutions, time aloft, and number of throws as BlueBall (and Stryker) but you have the amazing 9 exchanged for the 3 before. Not to rain on your parade but you also have the wrong font on the 9. Gives you away big time ... :D

Bugger! (It's not the wrong font though)

angle -4
thrust 67
elevator 2

and startle your friends with your scores :-)
