Some addups for the idea of implementing aircraft in game
Establishment of Services trough the use of aircraft for the specific reasons:
I. Education
1. Creation of a new entity that governs and regulates (multiple or not) licenses* for players to be able to fly specific aircraft.
* a) Recreation license would cost a fair amount but affordable for all (5000$?) would involve tutorial of skydiving and the use of the Ultralight?
b) Processional license only for those committed to work in the route of aviation, costs skyrocket for this? (maybe 25000$) would involve a tutorial with a Velum or any other of its kind.
II. Jobs
1. Tourism:
a) Rentals - Use of the Ultralight (trough command /rental) that charges the player an amount to fly for a brief time ((limitation on fuel?)fine/warrant if lost/crashed not parked correctly?)
b) Sight Seeing - Use of Maverick or SuperVolito/Seabreeze (Extra fee) for sight-seeing flown by staff on specific routes (City Only, City-Country, Country)
c) Skydiving - Use of Maverick/Mammatus for the transportation of up to 3 customers to perform activities regarding sky-diving near the LSA area.
d) Airshow - Special events where Mallards or NX-25 are used to do an airshow?
2. Transportation
a) Cargo - Drop off essential cargo (land on spot) isolated zones or points of interest (yacht, some landing pads spread around the city/ airstrips).
b) Customers - Travel between air strips and airpads trought the map by using Helis (Maverick) or Planes (Mammatus/Velum/Cuban 800) charging by seconds/minutes of flight?
3. Specific Jobs:
a) Emergencies - Use of the respective helicopters for isolated cases (hard to reach spots on the map like the mountains/ faster routes);
b) Blimp - Use of the Atomic Blimp to publicize like on Weazel News on an area but with an option of more personalized offer trough Enhanced VOIP.
c) Farming - Special use of the Western Duster to spread chemicals on certain farm spots around the country side. MacKenzie Airfield could get some use this way.
d) Air-Traffic-Control - (Already suggested in the forums). Flight code listing and process for flight not as hard as the the Code 10 for police officers.
DrawBacks (And Possible Fixes)
1) Crashes/Server or Client Unstability - Automatic teleport of people to the spawn area of vehicles in LSA
2) Hijacking by players - Super sluggish controlls for those who dont have the correct license for the specific aircraft (x/y inverts, etc?)
Comebacks
1) More Jobs / Opportunities
2) Actual to make some good kidnap / breakout scenarios
3) A more immersive experience
Maybe Some usefull URLs:
Plane List
Helicopter List
Points of Interest
I hope I could give some new ideas or solve some issues that could come to any type of implementation of aircraft on the server.
Hoping for some inputs/ ideas / brainstorming
Cheers!
