and here's a pic:


DAMMNIT! WORK ALREADY!

First the cars made by me, than the tanks made by Hagar, NOW a giant steel blimb with nearly 200 guns made by Hellhound.

What's next?

LOL

I knew FS is very flexible.

BTW, I think it's a good addon to have and probably fun for FS. You can use FX files to make the bullets and such. And you can animate the guns by linking them to the controls or such.

Here's another idea.

Make one model to be used as scenery so that the flight decks can be used. Then make another model to be used as a flying aircraft.

It's possible to have a flying flight deck as scenery because in FS98, there use to be a scenery addon that places an alien ship over New York and it has a landable flight deck big enough for a 737 to land in. The alien ship is a replica from the ones seen in the movie Independance Day [starring Will Smith].

It's really fun to have a nice armored blimp flying around as scenery and landing on it.

I have my ideas about cars as well.

Hey, maybe my car ideas could work for your blimp ideas as well.

bolo MK. XXV? can i have some pics?

what's that from? sounds kinda like fluff from Warhammer 40k..

I can contribute a 300 meter wingspan airborne assault staging platform.

Just like Hellhound, I have my own sci-fi favorite. This one is just made up.

The Battle Platform: 28 ASA Guns [Anti-Ship Artillary], 44 radio-controlled fighters, 4 medium-armor magna-plates, 2 heavy-armor magna-plates, upper flight deck, 2 lower [and concealed] flight decks.


The Manga-Plates [magnetically powered] are usefull against attacks from large bombs and missiles. They are not directly connected to the ship and they shift and change position so as to provide maximum protection.


However, the Magna-Plates are useless against heavy attacks from fighters because they move too slow to prevent the fast-moving enemy fighters. So, 28 ASA guns are used to provide enough protection against most fighter.

It hovering-capabilities of its powerplant makes it an even more dangerous weapon. When the ship hovers over land, its powerplant releases a fast and serious series of powerful pulses that enables the ship to hover. The Pulses are a weapon because they produce enormous crushing-pressure over anything the ship flies over.



Hey hellhound, can that blimp of yours take on my Battle Platform? LOL

In CFS, is it possible to have weaponry fire at different angles on an aircraft?  Such as having a gun turret on a bomber?

If so, several of you could design different aircraft that operate on a blimp airfile system and then play out wargames, like the navy does with submarines . . .

I think that would be really interesting, especially to see in screenshots or videos.

i like ender's idea. and the guns on mine are going to be internal. that way it doesn't take up so many polys!

Ok, Ender. Let me see if I can guess what kind of ship is that.

1. It doesn't have a flight deck. Therefore, it can't be ship carrier.
2. It does have some AAA gun of its own. So, it appears to be more than just a transport.
3. It does have some armor plates as well.
4. It also has an antenna array.

In conclusion, I think it's somewhere between a Troop Carrier and a Battle Platform.

currently i'm making a superdreadnaught. and will yours have a drive at the aft? it looks rather funny

I'm planning to make my Battle Platform a little bit smaller. Besides, the massive size of the ship makes the ASA guns look like specs on a screen and the R/C fighters look like toys.

Not only that, a smaller ship moves better than a large one.
