- Yup. We got it by going into the set editor and figuring out what
- they really wanted you to do. You do not "land"; you just hit the
- collision sphere attached to the catapult. One odd thing that
- happened to me is that the glider vanished completely as it passed
- through the castle entrance, and reappeared halfway to the catapult.
- I have this on film, so I know I'm not crazy :-).

- If you fly the stunt from the editor, you have unlimited tries (of
- course, it doesn't "count").
-
- >My problem is the description is pretty crappy.
-
- Agreed. At least it's not as bad as hitting the mark on the Alcatraz
- stunt. I don't remember how many times we muffed that one before
- pulling it off (again, with the help of the set editor). I almost
- cried when the machine crashed before SmartDrive wrote out the cached
- stunt...

- Yes, the manual is a bit of a disappointment, enough so that Disney
- added a statement to the SIUPDATE.TXT file (mentioned in the manual)
- insisting that they didn't deliberately cripple the manual to sell the
- third-party book...
