Title: Runway length.
Post by: hitech on July 31, 2012, 11:48:53 AM
OOps sorry I was trying to move topic and hit remove topic instead.

The answerer is yes the runways are different lengths at different air field types.

Perhaps the next related wish should be to restrict the 4-engine bombers to only large fields, with their longer runways.  :aok

That would actually be pretty interesting, I would have to look at the maps first though.

Been thinking about this.  The largest runway at each three field types is the same size, about?  :headscratch:

Could maybe, at some point in the distant future (ie: next terrain update), medium fields maybe get a 500-1000 foot extension and large airfields have one of their primary runways an additional 500-1000 feet above the upgraded medium runways?

No, you'd end up with a 163 fest

:airplane: I give! I surrender! I won't ask again! While having a in-flight dialog with Dhawk and some other guys, the subject came up about the length of the runways in Aces High. So, being curious and such, I decided I was going to measure the runways to see how long they were. A Jeep in Aces High has a speedometer and if it is accurate, (which I doubt), here are my test results. (After 2 hours worth of testing) Test was carried out by getting a run at the runway and being right on 60MPH from one end to other end of runway. (1 minute, of course is 5,280 feet long, at 60MPH)
Small field---6600 feet long

Medium field---long runway, 7920 feet, cross or small runway, same as small field.

Large field-- East-West runway, 6600 feet, 2 longest runways, 7920 feet long.

Carrier- 660 feet long from stern to bow.(let you guys guess how I measured this)

Crusier-- Don't really care!!!!

Very informative, thanks!  Never knew the small field's was as long as the shortest runway at a large field.
