Moving Carriers

Well this is the best thing since sliced bread for carrier fans! Of course, 3wire will be supporting this, if fact this where almost all of the effort is.

The first thing we have done is make it possible to place carriers in FSX. Anyone can do this in the mission editor, but we have created a test application that creates carriers anwhere in the world in general flight. Whats even better is that the carriers are placed using an xml file that contains the details of each carrier and the path the carrier is to follow. So users can create their own carriers wherever they want and make them move along their own path.

So thats pretty neat, but there are a few quirks with moving carriers in FSX. The number one issue is that when a carrier gets to a waypoint it will stop, rotate to the new heading and then continue to the next waypoint. Obviously the last thing you want is to have the carrier stop when you are about to catch a wire!

So whilst there are the obvious benefits of moving carriers, there are also a truck load of problems that need to be solved.
