Aviator79 Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 Others have had trouble getting the Skimmer airborne, but despite searching various forums, I haven't found a solution to the problem. The Skimmer hardly moves forward, and never gets enough speed to get airborne. It's like the pontons are too submerged to get out of the water. I have the game on my computer, and here it flies just fine. My friend borrowed the game for some time, and on his it doesn't fly. It's the exact same game! (PC version) Now please don't reply with comments such as "you just have to push forward and numpad 6 and then it lifts off" I know how to fly the Skimmer, and on his computer it just doesn't work. Does anyone have a useful solution? Does it happen with a certain setup, or with a certain graphics card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaceeinstein Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 Did the control setup change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aviator79 Posted September 4, 2005 Author Share Posted September 4, 2005 Nope, arrows control power up and down and tilt sideways, 6 is pitch up 9 is pitch down. We also tried plugging in the joystick to no effect. It just wont take off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrissRiot Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Yea, Im having the same problem. The Skimmer just wont take off, and accelerates slower than a turtle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aviator79 Posted September 28, 2005 Author Share Posted September 28, 2005 Uhm, yes, I appreciate you telling me that you CAN take off Iron Man. But as I have pointed out, I CANNOT. And I was looking for a way to solve this problem... So unless you have new info on solving it, please do not bump month-old topics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HybridPaul Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 This happens to me when i type in the comeflywithme cheat. Heli copters should behave wierd too. Simply type it again and the skimmer should behave normally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharknerd57 Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 I had this problem on my labtop also. I had to go to redefine controls and change it from the key NUM9 and NUM6 to 6 and 9 for it to work. I think this is because on my parents old computer it had a NUM6, and a NUM9 different from the regular 6, and 9 keys, but my labtop does not. Well Ihope this works for you.
