Something very weird and disturbing has happened with my barracuda. I was updating the gear on the barracuda, importing updated LODs and such. Well, when I go to FSDOE and load up the barracuda, it starts. I go to an external view, looks ok, lower the gear.. all of the sudden, CTD. I looked for maybe a DOF with a skrewed up reference, but I am going to try and go back and see if I can pinpoint which LOD it could be. Please reply if you have a suggestion.

had something similar happen on the P38.... Does it only happen when you view a particular part of the plane? (In My case I was OK until I viewed the tail. wt told me that this is caused by a problem with one of the normals. He also told me how to fix it but I dont have access to those emails right now...

You said this happens when you lower the wheels, does it happen if you start on the ground and look at the wheels?
Hey wt! wakeup!

Yes, it did. The problem was that the gear doors were 2-2 sided pieces put together, when I set them to 1 sided, it skrewed up.

Glad you got it fixed....

My problem was due to an object with dogy polys. What made mine such fun to pin down was it was in a 2nd Level LOD. all was o.k except when you zoomed out, CTD!

Optimising surfaces in AC3D cured my problem. When you have 2 one sided parts though, optimising can be a littel tricky!
