    Just a quick question ^^

    Can you stop these airdrops? pretty pointless having them on my server if you can't access the loot.

    Thanks

    I tend to think of it like this: For such a long time in the new version drops have been available but not auto spawning, as an admin you probably already know this.

    The fact that they are now auto spawning in without manual intervention by an admin probably means that they are finally working their way around to working on the drops system, so hopefully it shouldn't be too long before you can actually loot them.

    I am keeping eyes and ears open and have done some testing on the existing command for drops (event.run) but so far no there doesn't appear to be a known way to turn them off.

    Ah ok, Yeah its a bit weird as they keep dropping in the same place lol. Also is it me or do the planes lag around? sound stutters and the plan looks very unstable ^^

    Yeah from day dot they have always crossed the same path. The actual packages would always drop at pos 0.0.0 hence why the planes always intersect (I think its the dead center of the map?).

    Quite handy to use so players can meet up, just head towards where the planes are intersecting in the sky - but other than that not really good for much else atm.

    I still like calling them in I like seeing the contrails go across the sky and how the lights reflect off the ground.

    And also same for the general laggyness and stuttering movement, hasn't changed at all since the new version was released, which is what makes me think that they must be finally doing some work on the drops seeing as they are now auto spawning. Fingers crossed!
