Functioning EMAS (Engineered Materials Arrestor System)

[tropic matrix]

I think the game should have a functioning EMAS.
The way it should function should be similar to the arresting wires on aircraft carriers.
If a plane overruns a runway, the EMAS will drastically slow the plane down.

Pros:

• Realism
• Very cool
• Helpful for fast landers

Cons:

• Might be very buggy

[rotund birch]

there would defo have to be a max speed limit

[tropic matrix]

hmmmm

yuh\

yuh

EMAS caught! Slowing down!

[sweet walrus]

NO

the pain

the horror

the complete devastation of landing slightly too early

[tropic matrix]

then dont land to early

womp womp

[patent blaze]

i mean we already have degraded performance for wet runways iirc

why not

[sweet walrus]

THAT EXPLAINS A WHOLE FUCKING LOT

[tropic matrix]

wait we do

[patent blaze]

just like other aero code im not sure if it still works

[lunar vapor]

[patent blaze]

its been forever since i last landed in the middle of a storm in game

[tropic matrix]

does the dirt particle thing still work

i dont think it does

oh yeah

diagram

[sweet walrus]

mf you and suggesting a plane

bro gonna show a scale model, blueprints and stats for a god damn concrete tile

[sweet walrus]

functionING

[tropic matrix]

[lucid pike]

Yes, if that would mean boosted wear of your plane twice and also payment for EMAS tiles replacement

[mortal breach]

oh hail naw

id rather crash my sst

[simple anvil]

This is awesome

[simple anvil]

Double win

[mortal breach]

estimate the emas replacement cost

[tropic matrix]

dont land like an idiot

simple

[lucid pike]

Exactly

The less you need EMAS, the less you’d pay

[tropic matrix]

(i wanna quote bot this but i cant use bot commands here)

[tropic matrix]

oh yeah also make it raised

and make the plane slightly sink into the EMAS

like the diagram

[uneven mural]

Lighting McQueen seems to ruined this runway i see

[knotty vine]

actually

since we have carrier arrestor feature available

could reapply on this

though would be a pain for "some people" who lands early on runway chevrons or barely lift

[fallen sky]

Might legit be a new use for players $, instead of stacking tons of cash.

[sweet walrus]

my dumbass having to take out loans every 20 minutes to cover crash costs

[fallen sky]

At the same time, some random players have millions collecting dust

[near compass]

if they did add this then they should also add a mechanic which punishes players severely for driving the plane on grass

otherwise this would just be patch of concrete which slows you down in a sea of perfectly good landing spots

[fallen sky]

Replace grass with obstacles. Housing for the poor !

[near compass]

roof insurance firms in rawaki be like

[fallen sky]

I wonder why insurance want me to pay 699$ per month...

[south fossil]

or just make red rarity planes tradable again

[sweet walrus]

the fuck

[south fossil]

please do it I need to burn wp

[sweet walrus]

crash a plane

[tropic matrix]

[south fossil]

Wp not cash

[tropic matrix]

dont start takeoff roll too late

and you can avoid EMAS

[sweet walrus]

maintenance costs:

[tropic matrix]

#dontlandlateandyouwillavoidtheemas

[sweet walrus]

antonov 225 with the buran:

(it needs like 70% of Norman's runway to take off)

[south fossil]

cash not wp

[sweet walrus]

it costs wp to overhaul

[south fossil]

What if I just don’t repair

https://tenor.com/view/think-about-it-use-your-brain-use-the-brain-think-brain-gif-7914082

[sweet walrus]

then you won't be able to get far

[frank lily]

What if he’s doing regional flights?

[sweet walrus]

it really does not matter when your engine explodes 4 seconds after spawning

[frank lily]

What if he wants to make a flight to the airport he’s at already?

[sweet walrus]

0wp 0cash

[frank lily]

What if it’s a free flight anyways

[sweet walrus]

where's that video of the guy using the "chose spawn stand" button to literally spawn at another airport

i think it's like riziere city and riziere international or smth? they're so close to each other you can LITERALLY spawn on the end point if you pick a flight to one from the other

[frank lily]

I’m not a coder so I couldn’t tell you

[sweet walrus]

you don't have to

[frank lily]

What if I don’t know what airport is which?

[sweet walrus]

guh

[frank lily]

You are fighting a losing battle my shark friend

My bullshitery surpasses yours

[south fossil]

What if I just don’t crash

And buy more planes from trading with cash

[tropic matrix]

lol

notabug

[leaden bay]

finally i can land my Tu-244 at Horata

[tropic matrix]

does horata have EMAS

[sweet walrus]

it does not.

[tropic matrix]

@south fossil has 50000iq

[south fossil]

[leaden bay]

errm lets build horata an EMAS then

[tropic matrix]

womp womp to those with bad landing skills

[frail shadow]

Yeah it would definitely have to have a consequence… that stuff is ridiculously expensive.

[leaden bay]

say goodbye to your 15 wp

the payment for EMAS tile replacement is 157 billion WP (good luck getting out of that debt buddy)

[frail shadow]

Those tiles are easily like $750 a piece.

IRL

[mental wind]

Planes have to be pulled out via like, tug or something

soooo

[tropic matrix]

we need this

i think this would be a w featur

[tropic matrix]

i found some on temu for like 1 cent a piece

so like

[valid tree]

If this were to be in game it should absolutely ream you in mx cost if you roll into it

[valid tree]

this

[lucid pike]

Yeah, otherwise it would be cheesed to death

[valid tree]

aeronautica player go around on an unstable approach challenge (impossible)

[tropic matrix]

lol

[sweet walrus]

very simple fix

hit the EMAS = aircraft is completely unusable and you need to end flight

[fallen sky]

Nah, i can already see the bug reports about " WTF my plane broke, what happened. Please fix ! "

[static sigil]

what about (ultra)light planes

EMAS may not be effective for incidents involving aircraft of less than 11,000 kilograms (25,000 lb) weight

[valid tree]

Would do absolutely nothing

[sweet walrus]

add a warning

"you have hit the runway's EMAS zone and your plane was automatically stopped"

[valid tree]

loud sound of the concrete blocks breaking under the plane’s weight could do it

[tropic matrix]

i can smeel

EMAS announcement should me "EMAS caught! Slowing down."

just like arresting wires

maybe just repurpose arresting wire system

[mental wind]

again here's the problem

the aircraft needs to be pulled out of the EMAS

and often times, the planes do take some damage, even if it's mild

[lucid pike]

That’s why I suggested triggering condition drop

[daring radish]

im probably one of the few that actually do this lmao
