Have you seen my thread down in screenies?

http://www.simviation.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=screen;action=display;num=...

Looks to me as though FSX will support moving carriers.

Anyone (NicK? Wink

) have any more info?

I can talk about the demo and I can strech hinting here and there but I do have to adhere to the rules when it comes to the full product.

Did you see the boats in the harbor in the demo?

.... and have you seen anything land on a moving object in FSX?

Not before time. Moving landable carriers are featured in CFS2.* We could have had them in FS2002.

*PS. These CFS2 Ships are not scenery but mission objects. They work on much the same principle as AI traffic.

Hmmm......I've missed something here. Besides the pic I mentioned (Cub landing on delivery van roof) is there an example in the demo? I don't think the carrier in the flour bomb mission is moving but have to confess I only looked briefly at the model, didn't bother with the mission....

Ah.....Doug, that's the point. The way hard surfaces were done in FS2002 and FS2004, you couldn't because they were static.

This must mean that hard surfaces are now mapped to an OBJECT which can be either static or moving. That's a totally different approach and it means that many, many FS2004 scenery objects will NOT be compatible with FSX.

You did not miss anything in the demo..

I was just teasing a bit earlier but I cant go into details.

The answer to your question is yes, you can land on a movable OBJECT in FSX. Grin

hint
if you know how scenery and ai works, play around with the ai boats and the carrier in the demo, lets call it a SWAP of sorts
