	Would it be possible to create a 3D model of a weather sonde (bomb with a small parachute attached ) and then add this to Weapon for FSX? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dropsonde Thanks Michael

	This would indeed be possible to make, but would have to be in the 'parachute already deployed' form. A further post elsewhere tells of how to make object perform as bombs and so this would need to be implemented in the .xml code. I will add it to my list. Pete

	Pete, Parachute already deployed would be just fine as this is close to how the dropsonde is actually used. Is it possible to obtain any kind of feedback from a deployed object? Thanks Michael

	Will this do? As it was a quite simple object to do I have done it tonight. It will be released as a model only as I have several other projects on the go that are falling behind so you will have to modify an existing .xml file to make it fall like a dumb bomb. You will find the details of how to do this in one of the other posts as somebody has figured out a 'cheat' to make weapons fall as bombs. No feedback is available as it is just an object as far as FSx is concerned. I have also disabled the explosion effects when it hits the ground, so it should just dissappear. Pete

	Pete, Looks great, thanks. Maybe the cord between the parachute and the sonde should be a bit longer, like in this picture: Michael

	Michael, Yes you are right, I was using the drawing you sent with the link as a template. I can lengthen that no problem, it looks like 2.5 X the body length so I will go with that. Is this a better length? Are you able to PM me or recieve PM's? Pete
