A Designing Challenge

Postby FTL992 » Sat Sep 23, 2006 3:08 pm

Not sure if this is the right forum to post this in or if this is even possible.  I thought it would be awsome if someone could make something like this for FS2004.

theres a link to the photos and everything.
It's the worlds shortest airport a 1969 Pontiac Catalina with a overhead airport.  Pretty much the plane lands on the rails and rolls into the wheel lock and can lock the plane ontop of the car.

Then there is the worlds fastest minivan which has a jet engine in it.  

Both are really awsome and like i said i don't even know if you can do stuff like this for fs2004 but if you could it would be a awsome outcome and probbably quite the challenge.

Thanks,

Right now, you probably can't do the car capture ability, since there is no way for two aircraft models to effectively interact in the sim.  But they MIGHT be made using a combination of XML coding attached to the bits of the "aircraft" that would be moving on the ground, making it visible just when the actual moving aircraft gets to a certain altitude.  Then some more XML telling the Catalina to stay at ground level even if the aircraft changes altitude.  It could work, although I don't have the necessary skills on my own, and don't exactly have the time, anyway.
