Hi all.
It would be great to make an addon involving paragliding and hang gliding units. The thing is, it should be actually a mod since real physics is needed. But the possibilities would be huge:
- New Special Operations mission (I'm not in the military, but I know some countries use them).
- Championships: Based on real (CrossCountry, Routes with Beacons, etc.) In MP.
- Free Roam: Just for fun.
It needs real physics: paraglider fall rate, heading and speed; wind direction and speed; angle, length and height of hills and cliffs for take off and soaring purposes; different surface temperatures depending on terrain type (grass, forest, towns, sown fields, etc) for thermals purposes; air humidity and temperature for thermals purposes.
I'm just starting scripting (not coding), so for me it's quite overwhelming. If anyone is interested and want to work on it, let me know.
May the thermals be with you.
