Whenever this unit is built, it gives an internal error. Sometimes it can even make it out of the war factory, be selected, but when told to move somewhere it crashes. Note that it doesn't cause an error with the default blackhawk voxel, but with any other new aircraft voxel I've tried, it doesn't work. (I've tried several new voxels, they all crash for some reason. The voxels themselves work fine, and have HVAs)

Here is the art.ini extract.

That's my guess. Try uncommenting them, since WW has a special penchant for Wobbles (No wobbles? I kill you!) and the Jumpjet codes.

yes i beleive it is :! value of zero stop wobbles? NO! Wobbles of zero means div by 0 crash. "How many wobbles would you like?" "0" "You must have wobbles!!! I kill you!"

Highly logical suggestions, yet unsatisfying results. Any other ideas?

(Keep in mind, it actually works with a default WW voxel, just not any of the new ones I've tried, which are both healthy voxels from what I've seen.)

Do your new voxels have rotors? In other words, do they have 3 sections?

Nope, they do not. The one I am trying to get working is a re-coloured orca fighter voxel, so it doesn't need rotors. Is this a problem?

ShadowIndex=2

This means it will use the section #3 to cast shadows.
Remove that line, it's for multisectioned voxels only.

Thanks DCoder, it worked! That problem has been irritating me for about a week, thanks for solving it for me. (Thanks to everyone else who tried, too.)
