Jump Ramp Teaser ! ! !

[GarryJSmith]

Hi Good people,


Something different for FS2004 is coming your way - Working Jump Ramps.

Not sure if this has ever been done before, but the Ford Project Team is about to release a bit of scenery that includes a bucket of jump ramps for your flying fun.

There are eleven different jumps within the scenery package - from slight to very steep........







I am having great fun testing this scenery with a wide range of aircraft as I work on the refinements.


In Final Tweaking mode now and should be available very soon...........


Regards


Your Ford Project Team

Garry, Now I realise why you guys were so quiet..
This looks such fun. I cannot wait.
(Mmmm, might just be fun to try it with a car or bike? A new spot landing competition comes to mind)

I know there were a handful of sceneries that "defied" the FS barrier to sloped runways but I don't know how it was done. Not only does this look like great fun but could it lead to a new series of, say, sloped bush strips found the world over? Can't wait to play here, thanks a million!

Hi All,

Glad you like the ideas in this scenery pack
I am having a ball - Got a B17 to fly from the big ski slope and got a MirageIII to leap successfully from the largest angle ramp

However it can be a bit bumpy on the ski jump ramps sometimes for the bigger aircraft with a larger footprint on the ground - having front and back wheels on two different angles causes a bit of a jump - but all manageable and adds to the fun.

Took quit a long time to get this concept working within FS2004 - have tinkered on and off unsuccessfully over the years - but this time I decided I was going to beat the concept - so it was head down and keep experimenting until I got it to work for a small platform - then expanded out from there.

Then, as I always do - I went overboard for this fun project and built in a large batch of different types of jumps..

For aeromed202 - I think the concept that I have now nutted out could be easily used to create angled runways on hillsides - will have to tinker with that idea for use in some future scenery.

Regards

Great Stuff - I am sure you will like the overall concept of the ramp take off's etc.I am now tweaking some scenery packages that we have released previously to include some ramp launch platforms - Switzerland, Blackhawk and Brazil packages come to mind for some of the fun platforms.
