[fyajsp]

how did you get on the Golden Gate Bridge ?

[crazycamcorderfan14]

lol i flew an A-6E under there

@crazycamcorderfan14 Nice! Maybe you could make a video about it, I'd love to see it ;-)

[crazycamcorderfan14]

what plane is it, how did you get the plane and carrier there?

[osjcag]

It's the Grumman C-2A. I started FlightGear at Nimitz. As you can see at 0:26, I let the carrier turn into the wind. Then I looked up the direction I wanted to sail, and just changed the wind direction to 'steer' the carrier. Then I took of from the ship and landed on the Golden Gate Bridge to get some nice shots for the video and sometimes I corrected the windspeed as Nimitz sailed under the bridge :-)

It's really fun to do, you should definitely try it, but it takes quite some time to do it.

[crazycamcorderfan14]

Oh, and how do you get two on at the same time?

[osjcag]

Sorry, I don't really understand that question. Two what at the same time?

[crazycamcorderfan14]

Well, I'm not sure, but, I propose that you were in control of the carrier and the plane. if you were, how did you get two models (E.G: two grummans) on together, if you were not,... i dunno

[osjcag]

Yes I was in 'control' of the carrier ànd the plane. The carrier is always there in FlightGear, whether you manipulate it to steer by changing the wind-direction or not, it's there ;-) You don't really steer it via the keyboard or mouse, but you change the wind-direction via the top-menu.

The aircraft was controlled the usual way: using the arrow-keys/mouse/joystick. There was only one grumman actually (where did you see the second one?), I downloaded it from: flightgear • org */* Downloads

[crazycamcorderfan14]

yea.. that figures... and the two grummans, it was an example

Excellent, Oscar! 5 stars my friend! Video and sound were GREAT! Saving that to favorites! :-)

Glad you like it! I'll make more videos like this with some unusual FG actions in the future :-)
