Sport Posted May 29, 2017 Posted May 29, 2017 Starway, Barthtek, Mustang, or any of you awesome terrain gurus... any chance we could get a mod for modern runways and taxiways we have in place of the dirt in Normandy? Would like to fly modern jets off proper pavement! Thanks! Come check me out on YouTube! Twitch! Have a listen to the Alert 5 Podcast - YOUR source for the latest combat flight simulation news!
Robert31178 Posted May 29, 2017 Posted May 29, 2017 Would that even work? In my mind the terrain guys are doing retextures, and the dirt runways simulate dirt runways. Wouldn't they just be paved looking if they retextured them, but still acting like dirt runways?
jafa Posted May 29, 2017 Posted May 29, 2017 It would be a nice visual option though , as it stands all runways in normandy are bland it would be nice to have a bit more variety and texture. Cheers Jafa [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

I think the dirt runways in Normandy are just acting like concrete runways... would be nice to have a re-texture though Come check me out on YouTube! Twitch!

gospadin Posted May 29, 2017 Posted May 29, 2017 Concrete is one thing. The fact that the longest runway in Normandy is 6000' (and only available to the British) is going to be the real shocker. Short field technique for all the jets! A B-17G at MTOW needs 3780' takeoff roll in no wind, and 4925' to clear a 50' obstacle, almost every inch of those runways with trees on the ends.

Schwarzfeld Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 Sounds like what you REALLY need is to mod in some JATO bottles for everyone lol
Robert31178 Posted June 1, 2017 Posted June 1, 2017 "........runways with trees on the ends." New collide-able trees muaahahahahahaha

Well I'd assume hastily built runways in modern times (80s-2000s) would be built with similar constraints... I don't think its out of the realm of possibility. The C-17, C-130, etc. were built with short, unimproved fields in mind Come check me out on YouTube! Twitch!

Dave317 Posted August 15, 2017 Posted August 15, 2017 Has anyone ever managed to make this mod? I love flying modern planes and helicopters in Normandy but the dirt runways look wrong.
gospadin Posted August 15, 2017 Posted August 15, 2017 "........runways with trees on the ends." New collide-able trees muaahahahahahaha It's rough for our A-4, especially without a headwind. It's not possible to stop in time if you attempt to land full internal fuel without a significant headwind.

Dave317 Posted August 18, 2017 Posted August 18, 2017 I'm not sure about the other runways but Needs Oar Point is very easy to land on. I've tried the A10, Viggen and M2000c and they don't have a problem.
