I love the Travel Air pack but I had one problem. The versions with banners selected by the 'L' key were of a different scale to the non-banner versions. This ment while flying low over ground, to get close in spot view, the ground seemed overmagnified and for this reason I rarely flew the banner versions. There is a fix, sent to me by Tom and it works perfectly. I'm now enjoying my Travel Airs all over again...and they are beautiful! ;D Here's the fix sent to me by Tom... "Open AFCAD2, go to Tools and Edit Aircraft. It will bring up a list of all your aircraft, Find the TA's and some will have a radius of 6, the errant ones will have a radius of 20. Just change them all to 6 and Le Voila!"  |

You'll have seen that they are smaller in the aircraft menu screen.  |

Yeah, but they do look normal when flying...are they smaller in the game than they should be?

Trouble was, as you zoomed in, the background zoomed in too. With the AFCAD edit the problem goes away! ;D
