New Aircraft

and would you like large fries with that? .................:confused:

It is fine to ask for something, and it must be realistic????? but if you can't
show a picture of what you mean or give some technical data as an example
unfortunatly I can't do much.

For you and the OP, this may help.

Basically, taxiway lights are about 200' apart but lights may spaced closer together and also be added as needed to conform to curves in the pavement, so that a pilot has little risk of running off the taxiway. Lights are a deep, almost electric-blue.

Runway lights are typically 200' apart (actually, that's the maximum - on a shorter runway, they maybe slightly closer) and white. On an instrument runway (for all intents and purposes, anything but a very small airport) in the last 2000' of the runway, the lights are split in half (180 degrees visible each direction); the side facing an approaching plane are still white, but the side facing a plane that has already landed (i.e. facing the far end of the runway) are yellow. Finally, most major, large-airport runways have lights that are split in half with one half green and one half red. The green half faces away from the end of the runway, so that an approaching plane from the air sees green, while a plane traveling the opposite direction (presumably after having landed and slowed down) sees red. On smaller runways, particularly those where the "beginning" of the runway is actually offset somewhere down the length of the runway, you might see these Approach End lights off to each side, usually in groups of three or four.
 
RRSignal,

Thanks for that PDF, that is the sort of information that is appriciated.

If people that request something would supply this sort of info rather than rely on some one else to do the searching that would make this a lot easier.

I'll see what I can do,

and thanks again RRSignal.

Cheers,

Bill.
 
Michael, the Nimitz is a scenery item, height adjustable, so you can make it match any water height you have set for other purposes. A scenery item is the only way to attach track to make the carrier operational.

The Auran DLS approval process is very slow at the moment, so model uploads will be as soon as it picks up.

RRSignal, a useful document, thanks, better than the ones I found.

Ian, great to hear the "stuff" is uploaded, but damn that the DLS is acting up, aggggaaaaaaiiiinnn

Thanks Ian, I have the day off so I'm going to do acres and acres of ocean.
 
I drivable superadaptor-aircraft carrier...How cool, launching and landing planes and helicopters on that with invisatrack will be...just like the "Top Gun" movie:cool:

Cascaderailroad is playing his air guitar immitation of the song: "Highway to the Danger Zone" ... Daa Daa Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa !

Somewhere in the Indian Ocean...Whooooosh !

Yes I thought about updating it today but thought you might like some more models uploaded instead. I need to get all the aircraft carrier demo map dependencies uploaded before the carrier and the map itself.

Have just received Auran approval for the following uploaded today:

three FA-18 Super Hornet, one Hornet;
the E2D Hawekye;
two Osprey and a static version;
the pushback tractor for the aircraft carrier;
helicopter lift tables for the aircraft carrier.

I am sure there are other things I could do or change on the aircraft, but you have waited long enough. :)

The aircraft now have the correct double pulse flashing nav lights, much better than the Auran versions, but if you have a number of aircraft together, the flashes are synchronised, can't have everything.

Models should be available in about 6 hours. Please read the config file for animation functions and trigger settings or keys. Note the FA-18 and Hawkeye are designed for the carrier operation, with tail hooks etc. Certain functions like the launch trigger settings are only applicable to dcc operation, not AI. Wait for the carrier upload to try them all out, the map and session will have triggers set up for operation.

If all the dependencies are ok I will upload the carrier and map tomorrow.

Hooray for Ian the navy is finally arriving!!! Great work man. Between the airport and the planes I do not know how you found the time for the carrier but we are all glad you did. Carl
 
What should I look under for the aircraft carrier?


A huge grey cloud, or a large number of circling aircraft.
Preferably in an area where there's lots of water.

Sorry, I couldn't help myself. No disrespect intended guys.
