I'm trying to create a script that will cause an aircraft to fly from one side of the map to the other, and I've hit a couple of early stumbling blocks. The first is that the aircraft sits at ground level, no matter how high I placed it in the editor (when the script is set to default, it sits at the correct height, but the flight script causes it to drop), even with physics switched off. The second problem is that the aircraft only starts moving when you get within about 3000 units, and stops moving once it's gone beyond about 3000 units. How can I fix these issues?

Right click it in the editor and turn it always on = yes, that will make the script run no matter how far away it is.
Inside the main script script call put GravityOff(e) which will
allow it to remain in the air (you may need to keep physics off too not 100% sure)

You're nearly there - do as smallg says (and physics can stay off/on if you use below tweaks) - I dropped the speed to 500

Thanks smallg & cybernescence - that's exactly what I needed (500 is bit slow, though). Now I'm going to have a crack at Tomjscotts Omegacore to see if I can get the sound to move with the aeroplane (and maybe the doppler effect).
