I feel I need to apologize in advance for another "crazy post". But I have these ideas that keep popping up to make my "boating experience" thru the water canal system more realistic.
I kind of remember seeing this a while back and had forgotten about it. But In my search recently for all sorts of other things relating to scenery design I found it again. Its the elevators on carrier ship.
I suspect that if elevators can be designed into a ship, it can also be put into a land base structure. The question that I have concerns the floor of the elevator. I suspect that it has to be made up of a texture similar to elevated helicopter pads, in order for the planes to not drop thru. Would it be possible to have the floor made up of a "waterclass" texture to support a boat instead?
I am still very new at this terrain design and I know that people would tell me to go read and I would probably find my answer. But I am always so overwhelmed with trying to understand what I am reading because the language and words being use are not common language, but "designer" language. Also there is so much information out there on all sorts of things and I have problem sifting thru it all to find what I am looking for.
All I am looking for here is a "yes it is possible" on "no it is not possible" (like the answer I got for adding lines in GPS)
If it is possible, I would appreciate a "nudge" in the right direction to find out how to do it. But if it's not, then I can spend my time on something that can be done.
Another thing. With all of these different programs out there for scenery and terrain design, it would be nice to know If I have the right one for the job. So which program would I need to fix up terrain and water surface?
