map_h.tga and the airfield landing circuit are the problems.
In the image below I've raised the terrain underneath the path of the landing circuit for the Me109. Both aircraft landed ok.
Changed the aircraft to Ju52. As seen in the inflight map the landing circuit is now bigger and extends outside of the raised terrain area. The Ju52 still defaults back to the start of the circuit when it flies beyond my raised area, and presumably loses the landing envelope, the same as the Me109 was doing.
How many different landing circuits are there? Is it one for each aircraft, or one for each generic type, ie. fighters, bombers, etc. --- Can we MOD the landing circuit AI routines?
I now need to fudge the terrain levels a little more to get the Ju52 to land, then see how much variation in level can be introduced before landing failure returns.
