i would pmi a vehicle and like the longsword(fighterbomber) into a map lets say bg, and when im at a certain angle i cant see the longsword when im look directly at it, but for a example in ftw you can see them at what ever angle your at. I did swap dependencies from the banshee, to the longsword.

You do know you cant use a "longsword" from a PC extract to use in game right? There is no collision for them. Also.. did you get the longsword from a10 or d40? Theres a big difference between the 2 seeing as one is a vehicle and one is scenery.

it does that because of the bounding radius setting in the scenery tag.

Just put that number up. you need phenomenas plug ins i believe.

yes, PMI the scenery one, it wont be driveable though. Your best bet would be to convert CE tags for one and use them
