New Aircraft

[H222]

I don't think it is that important Ian, here is my list of importance


CRJ-700
ERJ-145
B757 - Maybe,
A330 - Close enough to the 767,
B2 - Yeah -
B777 - 767 is very close
A321 - Close enough to the A320
F15 -
F22
Blackhawk
B1
F16
A340
Md-11
ERJ 170

Not demands, but a good list for your new ideas

I wouldn't even ask for this much stuff, and you are coming off as a bit of a gimme-pig, and that's me talking...

And you gave no link to plans, when I ask I give diagrams and photos, as the modelling part takes ages, and much. much longer if you have to get your own research



Ian, I don't know what N3V did, but I am using your bitumen taxiways and Yellow Line for now, maybe you could create a spline of 25m wide instead of 40m as well??
I don't know what to do with the props, but I suppose you could write a tutorial?? Or I could for you, I don't have much on my plate over the next term

PS can test the airport's if you want to throw them over, I think you still have my e-mail??

Well, since I also thought the CRj-700 would be a good addition, I'll provide a couple of links.

Plans:

Specs and other stuff wikipedia gives you:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombardier_CRJ700_series

are these enough, or should there be more?

Plus, I like this scheme for it:

and

I hope these are enough, but let me know if there are any more to be needed.

sorry Jamie, it wasn't to be interpreted like that, it was meant as a simple list for him to look upon for guidance and to see what he hasn't completed. Forgive me Ian if you took it hard as well.

Thanks for the comments, much appreciated.

Any aircraft with the startup function will have that in the name, so they can be distinguished from othes, eg. Boeing CH47 Chinook Army Australia Startup.

I will work on the airports for a while, I want to test the startup aircraft with them to make sure they work correctly. Yes the trigger functions may have to be altered for some aircraft.

As Pascal mentioned, the aircraft with startup do look and behave more realistically, but there is probably not an obvious benefit applying it to jet aircraft.

Suggestions on models are welcome. Often I am not familiar with common models used in other parts of the world. I did have a search for pics and drawings for the CRJ700 yesterday, downloaded a few for a model a bit later, perhaps, maybe, possibly. Thanks for the links.

BTW, Ian I have unlimited bandwidth on my site if you ever have dls problems, you are always welcome to host your great content there.

Ian

The thing is and airport with jets loading at the ramps do not usually have there engines running. It would make the airport a lot quieter.

 

[H222]

They normally do, but they're not on full power...

Jamie

 

[stmsoccer]

The engines are not on, but instead they have a apu generator that controls all electronics until after push back. That is why the controller says push back and start.

"Lukla Airport" and the session "Lukla Service have been sent to the DL Station

Planes required are Yeti "Twin Otter Static" And "Yeti Twin Otter Start up" both by Vulcan (IAN) the Flying version has the "Aircraft Engine Start up" in Driver mode Press Letter "B"to activate it.
But for "AI Session"the "Aircraft Engine start Command" Rule Kuid<2:60238:80003:1>must be downloaded as well,
Other rules needed to make the Session work are the "Enable repeat" Rule Kuid<2:192081:2:3>.
And "controljunction"Rule Kuid<131986:1011>.

Testing was done on a clean re-install of TRS2010,patched to ver 44088 CM3.3) thrust upon me by a game crash, although I have a backup of the Local Folder I did not install it,but let CMP download required assets,a few assets escaped CM's efforts and were later DL'D
About 140 assets (with 50 Builtin's) were used in the Map.










All other assets were on the DL station (about 90)
Testing on TS2012,was done on my Laptop by importing regular updates as making of the Map progressed.
NO separate Map was made for TS2012.
More Route info can be found on my "Lukla Route Info"thread on the "Freeware Announcements" Forum Page.
Final testing on the Laptop attached to the Television by HDMI cable realy gave me the Big Picture.

[stmsoccer]

great job Norm, I would love to help you with your next airport.

 

[vulcan]

Good one Norm.

Remember sessions will not retrieve the rule that are not built in to Trainz, so make sure you download the ones Norm has listed.

Ian

Thank you Norm, super job.

Hi,

I am sending to the DLS this new reskin:

It's a Boeing 727 from the former Jugoslav Airlines.
A bit old fashionned, but familiar on the european airports in the late 80's.
May be exotic for non european people...

Beautiful Shot Josh, are those yellow lines Zato's??

And what are the terminal buildings??

Jamie

Thank you, the lines are Zato's, and the terminal is Maddy25's office.

also, I have a new plan, anybody with the request for airports here is the procedure.

download the 240m map pack and read the directions here http://www.widjabostudios.com/locoworks.php

use google earth to draw and save 240m squares around the airport and their property including parking and highways near it.

add the basemaps to a trainz map and send me the file.


@Iced8383, can you or someone you know send me your sfo maps

Time for an update I think.

I had mentioned working on some new small airports, why? Well I have had a few requests for more airports to load and unload aircraft. This would make a complete operating system along with the main International airport models.

The airports are:
domestic to load only passengers;
commercial to load and unload general freight and use avgas;
military to load and unload general and special goods, tanks, jeeps etc, no passengers;
air force to load and unload general freight and specialised aircraft missiles.

These will alow you to unload the aircraft that carry loads, Osprey, Hercules, light passenger planes etc. Some have heliports, using the new lift capability of the helicopters and my AI rules, it is easy to simulate landing without using a special lift table.

There is a bit of work configuring some to handle both passengers and freight, and for the air force one, I while adding goods products to be handled I thought I should look at making some missle products for the air force. So we have Paveways, Sidewinder, Maverick and Python 5 missiles and fuel tanks being carried by the Hercules.

Thinking further, I wondered if those products could be attached under the wings of fighters and changed in Surveyor? :udrool:

Well yes they can, with appropriate attachment points (hardpoints) they work really well. You can click on the aircraft in Surveyor and choose which missiles you want on any hardpoint. You can also run "clean" if you choose to. If you use the air force airport you can load or unload them.

So, this is the Eurofighter Typhoon:

It has the usual animated actions, including firing missiles. The new products are in addition to the animated paveway and sidewinder missiles, (only the new missiles on additional hardpoints can be changed over). As you may know the Eurofighter can carry a lot of ordinance. Here it is fully configured "loaded for bear" as they say.

You will appreciate that I need to make sure the new startup Herc, Osprey, E2D Hawkeye, Chinook and others will work with the airports so please be patient for release.

[H222]

Ian, they look great and that's really cool the way the airports load missiles.
Any chance of a Navy airport one as well? For Hornets and Tomcats

Interesting,but was there any particular reason for placing the link on the Aircraft Thread ?

Hi Ian,

Excellent work, & thank you for widening the scope to smaller airports etc.
