Stans2Low Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 The Bay Bridge fly-through: would be better at night with traffic turned on. Vincent Thomas Bridge fly-through: Looks cooler when you're inside the bridge but I never had time to reach over to the keyboard and take a picture. I found it necessary to be constantly correcting course to avoid hitting the cars or the superstructure. Hard to see the trike since I had the lights off.

CRJ_simpilot Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 I'm surprised that's a hardened surface. I just flew under a bridge in NY with my F-22 at around mach 1.30. LOL OOM errors?

Stans2Low Posted December 12, 2018 Author Share Posted December 12, 2018 I'm surprised that's a hardened surface. I just flew under a bridge in NY with my F-22 at around mach 1.30. LOL Under a bridge at mach 1.3 is challenging. I don't know how to determine hardened surface without trying to land on it, but it would be very useful to know. I've lost a lot of planes due to landing in bad places. It would be great to know just by looking at it where a particular plane can be landed. I have landed on the Golden Gate bridge. I saw a payware Pitts S-2S and another aerobatic biplane with shorter wingspans (and a lot more speed) than the trike that might be fun for stuff like that.

Downwind66 Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 I'm surprised that's a hardened surface. I just flew under a bridge in NY with my F-22 at around mach 1.30. LOL Aaron - I am missing something here with your post, why wouldn't it be a hardened surface, I realize they probaby have expansion joints, but the surface would still have to be hardened for vehicular travel, and in this case, suitable to land the trike! Stan, I have to hand it to you, that is being very creative. Be careful in the winter when those bridges start to get ice on them!

CRJ_simpilot Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Well, I just know a lot of buildings and what have you are not hardened, and so I thought bridges were not hardened as well. But that's a good point on the freeway traffic though. I've never seen cars on bridges before. And I've been all over where there are bridges. Maybe it's my traffic slider. I have it at 40 I think. I do see traffic, but it's not a lot. OOM errors? Read this.

CRJ_simpilot Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Under a bridge at mach 1.3 is challenging. It's not too bad when you have a yoke, and this particular jet is pretty damn agile. I upgraded its aircraft.cfg and air files with ones supposedly to make the F-22 fly like the real thing. Too bad it doesn't have thrust vectoring. Now that would be cool. OOM errors? Read this.

Stans2Low Posted December 16, 2018 Author Share Posted December 16, 2018 so I thought bridges were not hardened as well. Some are, some aren't. I don't know how to tell except by trying to land on it. IIRC one that isn't is the Glen Canyon Dam Bridge across the Colorado River. I thought it would be a handy place to save an aircraft but the wheels just sank into the "concrete". Nice "waker-upper" video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRJ_simpilot Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Nice "waker-upper" video. Yeah it was. I was tired when I made it actually and after focusing on my flying I was wide awake and my brain was active like. Much how I get while playing BF2 with the AIX mod. I'm like extremely focused and have to think like a chess player. OOM errors? Read this.
