Ground Crew

[Silver_Dragon]

Has anyone checked out the latest development images from ED today?

...I'm starting to think that ED isn't just working on the functionality of boarding and leaving the aircraft, but that they're also implementing ground crew functionality (and I suspect that in the startup video, the equipment at the base isn't just a mod, but actual equipment usable by "ground crew").  Like what ASC did with the C-130, there will likely be the ability to access the aircraft's systems and configure weapons and other settings.  Perhaps "ground crew" functionality will come as a module or add-on?

I was also wondering about the Mig-29A video; could the pilot's boarding animation be related to the original "Supercarrier" concept, where it was mentioned that you could walk around the aircraft carrier deck?  Perhaps ED is taking tentative steps in that direction?

I found it very suspicious that Wags, in the video of the Mig-29A engine start, placed that material on the tarmac.
