Turn the suspension up:

BossTank.suspensionrange = 2000.0;

Babyboss.suspensionrange = 2000.0;

Or as high as you want.

You put it in the bottom of the mis file for your mod.

So what actuallty happens when you put this in the.mis file, does the distance from the ground to the UFO increase so its higher up in the air

Ok I'll explain (hope u understand! XD )
You know the UFOs don't have threads or some thing like it right?
WRONG!
They do have some nodes, invisible tough..
When you use this is your.mis, it will just increase the max height those nodes can have from the ground.
Remember, its maximum, so u can leave the ground BUT u cant control if u go up or down, as u go up if the UFO is facing the sky and down if the UFO is facing earth, and theres no way to change the way it's facing (unless u turn, but that is really great :'( )
If u want proff, try putting like
LightTank.suspensionrange = 2000.0; in the.mis file, u'll see that the light tank thread will like grow when u move up, but its allways touching the ground, and the threads will grow up bigger whenever we go up.
You can do this with any tank, but if they have threads, they will look ugly and dont really fly.
Only tanks with nodes and not threads (like the ufo, boss tank and 187's ships) will really fly, if they got threads they'll be allways touching the ground.

Hope ya understood,
