Well its not that great but how about you start in a terminal as the pilot and you walk to your airplane? That way you can choose wich one you want and still be playing the game.

Picture this, you land in a cessna at KLAX. Park. walk around and find a piper cub. jump in it and off you go!

well good idea or just a useless extra?

i like the idea and GTA came to mind right away  but being able to pick your plane in the terminal would be great and being able to do a walk around with the default game would be nice     no buying programs or finding ones that are kinda slow to do a walk around in

So I had a good idea?!  Actually i was thinking after i wrote that post was "Simpsons hit and run" even though ive never played the game Roll Eyes

im really surprised people liked this idea.

i should have posted this earlier.

And it wouldnt be that hard to do really...just have the camera as a "tower" like view. 6 feet above the ground. Use the joystick for walking. I was thinking about that this morning and i was thinking the only problem would be is actually entering the aircraft.

I'm still shocked people liked that idea Shocked

could this be done as an fs9 mod?

on entering the aircraft could something like fsupic report the nearest aircraft (or the one the cameras facing) and the current airport and then the mod use this data to make a new flight from the closest available airport locations (eg if the plane is parked the new flight starts from parked)

I'm not a modder (most I have done is HL2 maps) so I don't know if this is doable but it sounds plausable and would be a great and very usefull addon.

Well, some people are going to love it and some will hate it, depending on how one views the game/simulation (point in case).

In the end, the problem is that it's entirely too ambitious and nigh (sp?) impossible for the FS engine, I would imagine.

Yes. Which is why it is called Flight Simulator. Not "Flight Game" Roll Eyes Meaning to simulate flight, not walking around. Pleanty of addons for that.

Yeah, I agree rimshot, but I do think that it would be cool if perhaps on multiplayer or even just regular, if you could have a view from actually inside the pilot's lounge, where you could watch planes take off and land and such, and on multiplayer, it would be its own little chat room of sorts. I realize there is tower view for watching third person, but it would be nice to look around at something other than your own plane for a change.
