Thanks, it was fun to watch it skim across the field. When we originally designed our waypoints for that program we had the wings deployed. We changed it to not unfold until we got to the ramp waypoint. That's the reason it missed the first stack. As soon as that happened we modified our waypoints to make sure that never happens again.

I was only pointing out that no system is impervious to imperfection. That flaw pointed out that the system still has errors.

As does any evolving system ... and they always seems to fail at the most critical of times.
We take a lot of pride in StangPS and are extremely careful with our field setup and human player period to ensure it gets a chance to shine. I can guarantee you that at this point in the game that setup would be double, even triple, checked.
