I was thinking about landscape today in class (it was a political science class too so you caught me-- I was daydreaming).  Anyway, I had this idea for a scenery add-on and was wondering what people though of it.

How about recreating the land where "King Kong" takes place?

Huge mountains, deep jungles, a few dirt runways or something.  I just thought this would be an excellent idea for a change of pace in flight sim.

Perhaps someone could even make Kong a static object and he changes position in the landscape every time you load a new flight there.  That would make for some fun aerial hunting!

Well, there's a few places in FS that are already pretty similar (the Congo springs to mind) to what you're talking about.  Adding a few minor airstrips would be a real snap with AFCAD.

As for Kong:

There's a little program out there that I found (okay, I was pointed to it! Roll Eyes) that allows you to place animation conditions into BGL files.  Its called CAT (Conditional Animation Tool), and you can program things into the conditions like proximity to aircraft, NAV freqs and other stuff.  It works with stuff created in Gmax, so if someone were to create a Kong in Gmax, and then learn how the hell to use this tool, they could do what you are talking about.  Whew!  That was hard on my brain.  Time for a Coke.
