===Moveable Helipads=== | |||
[[User:HHS|HHS]] is working on moveable helipads, als known as dollys. | |||
Therefor an AIship is abused and replaced with an invisible, solid plane als platform. | |||
With some nasal-magic called from a STATIC-Object the AIship aka Platform is set at the new coordinates and a custom model is used as avatar. It can be controlled in many ways: back, forward, speed, up, down, direction.... | |||
The only limitation is that it can't follow ground elevation- the ground surface should be even. | |||
This AI-scenario can be selected by the user or automatically with defining it in the -set.xml of any aircraft/ helicopter. | |||
LOWI-Heliport, LRZ-Doelzig and EH01 will be the first heliports which will make use of it. | |||
Theoretically with this a physically accurate working pushback over mp, independant of the Aircrafts fdm and settings, would be possible. First experiments have been quite successful, but need further investigations. | |||
