• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

What is the feasibility of creating a working EMAS for FSX?

For those of you that don't know, an EMAS is an Engineered Materials Arresting System. They are installed at the end of runways that do not have an adequate safety area at the end, and are made of soft concrete that traps an aircraft that rolls into it.

I would imagine it working on the same principle that the carrier arrestor cables in FSX acceleration uses, just without a tailhook. If you couldn't get stopped on the runway in time, you'd pretty much be jerked to a halt on the EMAS.
 
EMAS for FSX

Hi,

I am about to start a freeware project for adding jet deflectors at the end
of rwy's. I was going to make it avaiable for RWY12. So you place them where you want.

I think your idea is amazing! Is it possible? I think so!

Are you planning on making this. I have no problem trying it in about 2 weeks.
I will be starting my freeware project then.

You can make sand runways! This could be good! Might not stop fast enough?
i like your idea about arrester cables.

great topic DG,:eek:
 
Hi,

I think you would need some external module to influence the flight dynamics (or brakes :)) to do this. With just scenery alone I don't think it is possible. But with some FSUIPC or SimConnect module it can be done.
 
I saw someone had added what looked like EMAS to runway 10R/28L at KATL and I wondered about it. What I learned is you can add an umarked taxiway of either gravel or sand to the end of the runway in question. While it may not be true EMAS, it should work about the same. I plan to add it to KBOS on my next effort and see how it works out.
