Awesome, it allows travel to an actual lower deck?

But 1. how long does it stay at each end and 2. how easy is it to get on and off?

If you've made a decent one; awesome work.

I've set it up as a replay tied to a map. The times can be changed to the nanosecond, if you so desire. Currently it's 10 second travel time, 30 second wait.
Because it stops at the same height as both decks, getting on and off is just the same as normal taxiing, though with stock there is a tendency to fall off the edge...

I'll probably build/modify a carrier to have a full size one at some point, though there really isn't a need for a second level in YS. (Perhaps the top would only supply fuel, and the bottom could do both.)

It does work online, but it jumps so much, even running from a server on this computer, that it's totally unfeasable.

Just checked, and it breaks the 20 meter gap into 16 updates (1.25 meter jumps every 0.625 seconds). Meaning on the way down the platform literally drops out from under you, and you faceplant. Even with position set to update every 0.5 seconds. I'd expect it to only get worse with network lag.

So in short, no. Offline only.

Well, moving platforms aren't new in Ysflight, but they're sure pretty nifty though.

Here's a map called Resort Island made by CEP. It can be downloaded here

And here's how to use em.
Step 1, place yourself on the platform.
Image

Step 2, wait for the "cable car" to come by. Properly position yourself.
Image

Step 3, ride that thing! It'll travel at a steady 5 knots and will drop you at a station further down the mountain. Just watch where you're standing and try not to fall.
Image

Further instructions are on the info.

Can you guess what it is yet?

I barely know how blender works, but I'm following THIS tutorial and it seems to be going ok so far. It's not going to be the most amazing model ever, but it is something that i don't think has been made in YS yet.

You've got me convinced; it looks somehow familiar, I'll send you my guess in a PM

Been doing a bit more work on the fuselage, this time just a skeletal rendition, till I forgot about writing this post halfway through and decided to have a mess about with making a full mesh from the skeletal form. And it's pretty damn ugly so far, but never mind, can sort it out another time.

Also, with the video tutorial I posted previously, the maker talked about limiting changes to certain axis. Does anyone know how to do this, as without it, the fuselage floor ends up concave when I try and make the cockpit the right shape. Tried a search, but couldn't find anything about it.

The ugly mesh I came up with. And yes, the skeleton is poking through a little in places.

PROJECT: USA48 is back.

As you can see, I have the water for coastlines drawn, along with the great lakes. I also added the mountains, and have areas within them for Las Vegas, Area 51, and KDEN, although I haven't added them to the map yet. If this works, you will be able to fly from LA to Syracuse and Miami to SeaTac.

For those of you wondering about the feasability of elevator replays on servers: the .ysf updates ground object positions roughly every three quarters of a second. If there is absolutely no lag, and if the elevator travels slow enough, it is perfectly workable.

Once lag gets introduced, however, the elevator will likely completely spaz out...

@Timmayx

And looks like the middle fuselage of the De Havilland Vampire.*

*to me.

Zak has requested it though
Should make him feel happy. Right Zak? :lol:

You're right, although it won't be the most 'OK' model ever, I'm aiming for mroe 'almost average' :lol:

Also didn't see Zak's request, I just quite like the Vampire.

It'll definitely have bumps and knobs on, whether they are meant to be there or not is a different matter XD

I like it. Just like Megadodo but better. We should have maps like these on the servers all the time so people can better enjoy them. I of course prefer the nice detailed maps but they don't always work so well online.
