Dog as a passenger???

Post by n421nj »

Just throwing the idea out there- how cool would it be to add the family dog as a passenger option for the GA fleet??? Thoughts???

Surely after the effort of modelling it, there might as well be a 'The pilot is a dog' option as well? Then you could choose the goggles, the scarf, the flying helmet. The possibilities are endless.

Hahaha, make that dog white and fold his ears slightly at the top and it would be my dog.

You can call Snoopy, and I'll call the Red Baron. Maybe they'll finally learn to dogfight real airplanes like this!

You are already doing research for an upcoming AccuDog, Scott? ;)

One of the features could be to add or remove your chosen pup by hitting the "pound" key. :)

My first instinct, having read your comment, was that a logical choice in for example the Connie would be to have a tiny dog-sized door which happened to be opened when pressurized. Wooooooopps... ;-)

But that would be animal cruelty. Can't have that.

(the crying baby, however - where's that ejection seat button....?)

Hi Scott, thanks for the great picture of woof with headphones
Though I think my feral black and white cat Piper (as in the pied piper of Hamelin) would be a wild distraction! (and you couldn't get the phones on her without blood being spilled)

Yesterday evening, Bonanza; Swansea (Wales) to Cork (Ireland). This morning, Comanche; Cork to Shannon thro' misty Orbx sky.

These are BOTH fabulous planes. So million thanks, Scott and Team!

On a similar note, it would be good if we could strap baggage into any of our "spare seats".

For instance, given that the Bonanza is a little more "rearward-CoG-sensitive" than the Comanche, I limit my passengers to one (the heavy passenger) in the front and one in the back, trying to put as much weight as far forward as possible.

I would like to have the option of being able to strap rucksacks into spare seats rather than store all baggage in the (more rearward) baggage compartment. At the moment (I think) the minimum weight you can add to any seat is 100lbs (a bit heavy for any bag), and of course from the external view this is seen as a "person" - it would be nice to be able to make this "luggage" of any weight (maybe up to a realistic maximum) with an associated graphic when viewed externally.

Regards
Simon
