Just when you thought your frame rates couldn't get any worse... tongue.gif Still, this is the type of in-depth realism that has been sorely missing from flight sims all along. Hate to think what sort of a beast one would need to have all effects maxed out WITH animated people trundling around the place. ninja.gif

Did they all fall out of the jet way and stunned, are wandering aimlessly around the apron??

Seriously that is way cool but as I can't run vehicles and animals I think, as IB said, that it will be a long way till I see anything like this on my desk sad.gif

That looks really good ,ive thought of this before a little but it seems only possible while in mission mode because its good to set off with a trigger box and then they stop after you leave ,im not sure how you would start and stop these fellas when in a airport youve just flown into i suppose orbx will have that answer later ..
frames ah not so much a worry if there is only acouple of them walking about

Where is the jarhead running around and gunning down those zombies with lots of blood and gore....oh wait...it's a flight sim. Simply awesome.

laugh.gif Get in a bit of FPS gaming from time to time then do you? Would be the ultimate "game" though, wouldn't it? Do some nice, sedate flight from A to B, then launch out of the door of yr A320 with all guns blazing. Maybe in 10 year's time... dry.gif

Be grouse if they could model that one-sandwich-short-of-a-picnic Somalian refugee for Air Nelson flights. She could walk into propellers or something. ohmy.gif

That could be great to see people boarding your small prop plane for 'FSX Passengers' before your flight around Mt Cook or loading up your plane and seeing the actual cargo you selected for 'Cargo Pilot'.

Maybe even people on the beach for those classic Carribean landings or the airport ground crew prepping up the planes with fuelling and loading, etc

Sweet find Dan!

I'm hoping this technology can be used to simulate boarding of people onto aircraft and so on. Would be good. I'd imagine it could be possible give than FSX can tell where aircraft doors are with the animated jetways etc. A bit of tweaking of some code and it could be possible to do. Would just need a method then of turning on and off the script within FSX. Interesting times. BTW, this new PeopleFlow technology is available in the Bundaberg Airport scenery pack from Orbx released late in December. They have plans to put these people in all their airport sceneries, so if you have any of their older airports, you should be able to download an update with the PeopleFlow humans sometime in 2011 smile.gif
