Working EMAS?

[Berserker]

Hello all!

I'm just wondering if it's possible for FG to get a usable EMAS on any airport, or if they've tried coming up with something like this.

Just curious!

Thanks!

This comes up from time to time. There have been some attempts. It seems though that there are only two ways to get them working:

1. Add a new scenery landclass that have a surface roughness high enough to stop a rolling aircraft.
2. Modify aircrafts to stop at them (in addition it needs to be done in separate ways for separate FDM:s).

You can find one of the efforts on the wiki (Engineered materials arresting systems) and I just added links to this and previous forum topics there that mentions them.

You might be able to put a BAK-12 arresting system on the runway just past the threshold. Make the BAK-12 system invisible. Put a hook on your airplane and make it invisible too.

This should work, unless you try to land over another BAK-12 cable
