What, are you guys in competition??
How about someone animates the Monorail, and see what follows...

[martin[flytampa]]

The Monorail is a bit problematic. In FS9 I have a frame limitation of 1024 after which the animation starts looping. Animations run at 18 fps so 1024 isn't a lot of time to animate this long & slow moving track. AES could probably do it but i haven't talked to Oli about it.

In FSX the monorail is a problem too, but for different reasons... mostly the round earth resulting in pieces of the monorail track not aligning correctly in several parts. This wouldn't be a big deal if it was an airport monorail that runs within a limited area, but because it runs over such a huge distance, I have no solution for it.

Oliver has this stuff covered... ever since LOWI and its trains, I have been a convert!
Of course, you could always do multiple train units that loop from station to station at three or four points down the line... don't know if that would impact performance too much?

[martin[flytampa]]

The 1024 limit isn't even enough to animate form one station to another. Some are quit a distance and it would have to move insanely fast to get there. There is still the round-earth/distance problem in FSX and I'm not investing in features that are for FS9 only at this point.

The best option would to have a word with Oliver (AES lite) IMHO.

Ditto. But since that requires extra costs for the developer (Oliver's work) and Dubai is already out, I doubt we will see it.
