Airships

[Chocks away!]

Does anyone agree that it would be great to see airships, both flyable and as targets , modelled in flight sims?

To hell with flight sims, there is I believe a place for airships in the real world.

 

[cheddar cheese]

Me too, theyre magnificent.

There are barrage ballons that you can shoot down (well make them eplode), look for them in the mission generator (or around airfields in some online servers)

I'd rather go for a cruise in a large dirigible than on board a ship, what a way to see the world.

Until it goes Hindenburg on you. I would like to fly an airship, but not during combat, something about all that lighter than air gas around you doesn't seem very reassuring.

flying an airship in a flight sim? borrrriiiiiiiiiing!
flying an airship is always hard
but flying in one IRL floating above the world? nice

I would also like to see airships fly again and that, at least today, is possible because they would be a lot safer than those back in 30s.

 

[Chocks away!]

Indeed! People tat flew in them say it was a wonderful experience

Once in awhile would be nice but after a while it would be like looking at fat women as opposed to a model

My Father had a flight in the Hindenburg before it went down and could never get over the size of the thing, and the luxury built into it.

I'ld like an airship in IL2 for one reason-I'ld like to make a what if vid using the Graf Zepplin 2 as an airborne carrier like the USS Macon ( 5 Sparrowhawks) . Any thoughts ?

that would be cool if the put them in it would add more fun to it, like shooting them down or something

Not to dredge an old thread or anything (which is exactly what I'm doing, heh) but anyone here play Crimson Skies? Sure, it's not realistic, but you had zeppelins and stuff along with cool customizable planes.

 

[Hot Space]

Still got it, but I haven't played it in years though..........fun game 8)

 

[ONE_HELLCAT]

It really is. Anyone know of a server to play online? Like does Hyper Lobby support it?

 

[Hot Space]

I don't think so m8 - Sorry

 

[ONE_HELLCAT]

Dang, I got it when I was little and never really had a chance to play online. And the Xbox game can't compare. Sure, it's fun, but it's just not the same. There might be another Crimson Skies game in the works, considering how the original creator got the rights for it back from Microsoft.
