1930s Airliner Asset?

[PenninePacer]

Thanks for your suggestions. I can certainly make Swiss Air and Aer Lingus liveries, Air France looks more complex so I may not be able to make that.

There is already a loft for the path of an aircraft in the original Kuju elements. I have used it for a number of more modern aircraft. You can lay it down a runway, then elevate it and turn as required.

Thanks, I'll look into that. The only route I could think of with planes was London-Brighton and I saw the animated A310 and thought thats how all planes work.

The route I intend using this on (it looks amazing!) Already has a path laid for an aircraft, but I don't know how to get things to use it I'm afraid.

If this could use it then that'd be amazing!

Incidentally, in the unlikely event that anyone was wondering, said route is a modification of the Pyne and Warrburgh route to include extra stations, extra lines and complete resignalling. It now features:
- GCR Lines (Stevens and Co. Signalling, some assets replaced with GCR ones)
- GNR Lines (Somersault signalling, some assets replaced with GNR and M&GN ones)
- Metropolitan Lines (LT Signalling, Lineside Cabling, Fourth Rail, Underground section, Extra Stations)
- LNWR Main Line (LNWR Signalling, Swapped assets for LNWR ones)
- GWR Line (You get the idea now)
- LSWR-but-might-end-up-LBSCR Line (As above, but a much more thorough modification. Third Rail.)

Period is to be late-1930s, with most of the work already done as it's been a backburner project for over a year now.

The reason for the aircraft request is that I have put a substantial civilian Aerodrome on the route, but have little to occupy it with. With the DC3 on the way I might even put another one in somewhere, though that may be overkill.

Kuju/RailSimulator/scenery/Procedural/Path Airliner.bin is the original file. Create a copy with a slightly different name. Inside the bin find the line

<English d:type="cDeltaString">Vehicle Path: Airliner</English>
change the name to Vehicle Path: Airliner x (where x is your choice). Then find the line

<TrafficManagerBpID d:type="cDeltaString">Scenery\Vehicles\Airliner Traffic Controller.xml</TrafficManagerBpID>

Take a copy and rename the xml file. Inside find the line

<BlueprintID d:type="cDeltaString">Scenery\Vehicles\Airliner Vehicle.xml</BlueprintID>


Take a copy and rename the xml file. Inside find the line

<GeometryID d:type="cDeltaString">Kuju\RailSimulator\Scenery\Vehicles\[00]Airliner</GeometryID>
Change to the aircraft of your choice

The loft is as a Road, with the name Vehicle Path Airliner x (your choice of x in one of the above bin files)

I only mentioned to some other airlines to park near the Terminal Building

Why am I thinking there are aircraft in some of the JT routes...? (Possible original tie in with JF?)

Anyway, there’s certainly a Cessna buzzing around in one route (JT, I think)

And a Lanc...?(!)

Port Road (WLOS)

Definitely one in the ScECML. Seen as you cross the river + a few other places

@brysonman46 Thanks, I have a working airline path. Unfortunately there doesn’t appear to be a way to use animations so the propellers will be static on the path.

@sem34090 Hopefully you’ll be able to swap the Kuju airline path for my DC3 path in RW Tools and it will work.

KLM livery complete, it's not 100% accurate but hopefully it's good enough.

Hi
The KLM livery looks fine to me

Unfortunately there doesn’t appear to be a way to use animations so the propellers will be static on the path.

If you view a propeller working at full speed. all you see is a faint circle (or a series of ever smaller circles) with outlines of the blades. That could be made into a texture and turned into a child object for the airliner on the runway and into flight (in fact anywhere except at rest at the hangar or departure gate)

@brysonman46 That is an excellent idea, I will try to do that.

The Swiss air DC 3 is even easier. it's all over silver. only the nose cone is black and the Swissair branding also only the top half of the tailplane has the Swiss flag.
