> 3) Make the decks solid. > 9) Make island solid Here's how I think we can solidify the decks and island. First we need to define some rectangles (2? 3? a variable list?).
http://home.comcast.net/~davidculp2/decks.jpg Each rectangle is defined in the carrier config file, in carrier body coordinates. x-offset y-offset angle length width height When the aircraft gets close (say 1 mile, <300 feet) the carrier will start checking to see if the aircraft position is within any of the reactangles. This will require a lot of coordinate transformation, and it would be good to get the fastest algorithm possible. ***-> Any ideas here? <-*** After all rectangles are processed the highest height value is kept, and this is then used to override the scenery height using globals->get_scenerey()->set_cur_elev(height). I think if we make the island's rectangle about 5 feet above deck height, then we'll get a crash if you fly into it. Come to think of it, we need a better crash response from the the sim. Maybe a "crash" dialog would suffice. Note that this is just the first phase in completing the deck. Once we have it solid then we can do catapult and wire placement, which will require even more coordinate transformations.
