Classic British Flight Sim

Well If you have an amphibian and make a Traffic version of it. Then arrange for the Traffic version to do a take-off and landing at a local lake and then taxy to a dock...You might find it sitting in the dock on the top of the water with its wheels down. Now if you were to land the user version in the same lake and taxy up towards the Traffic version you might find that his wheels have come up. The next time he takes off he might well do it on floats and if you wait for him to land, he might do that on floats as well. But, he would only perform like this if the user version is around with its wheels up. This is only my opinion as all the Traffic versions of amphibians that I use in the bay are special models with their gear locked up and unusable

Thanks Peter -
I had a feeling it might come undone on the 'range' at which the user aircraft can exercise its benign influence on the traffic one
As you know, the underlying problem is that water runways need to be 'invisible concrete', and as far as FS is concerned, concrete means land means wheels.

Yes Mike, but we are talking about Traffic and Traffic can break the rules

Like flying through obstructions such as mountains...

Looks like there's hope yet...oh dear!
This is going to cost a fortune in builder's repairs, not to mention the odd facial reconstruction

PS - Peter, I take it you are using the Just Flight Traffic payware?

No, I don't have any Traffic payware. I make my own Traffic, create my own AI versions of aircraft and use nearly ALL of the freeware WOA packages Ttools and AFCAD are my tools. I view Traffic in this case using MS TrafficTools and I sometimes use TrafficViewBoard to attach myself to a particular Traffic aircraft (this would not work the DV window of course because TrafficViewBoard is the User Aircraft).

Thankyou, Peter -
I have all those things installed
Looks like I am being dragged down into the vortex already...
