Thanks to some brilliant work on the [[Submodels|submodel]] system by Onox, it is now possible to adjust various offsets, including heading and pitch, during runtime. Furthermore, the x, y, and z offsets are also now defined in metric units. Finally, the randomness of the azimuth (heading), elevation (pitch), Cd (Coefficient of drag), and life can be defined. | Thanks to some brilliant work on the [[Submodels|submodel]] system by Onox, it is now possible to adjust various offsets, including heading and pitch, during runtime.
