 You see, in order to avoid confusion, having just one operational
 arrestor would have been the clever solution.

Maybe we need different devices.


 We're trying to simulate real-world, don't we ?  Sure, we're not
 perfect but I think we're doing our best within the limits of our
 ressources.  Thus, intentionally leaving an inoperational arrestor in
 place (instead of fixing it) sounds a bit odd 

Real-world means, there are some non-operational devices around ;-)
Hm, just found this one and thought, sometimes it would make sense to 
engage the BAK-12 for a Cessna too, but thats not real world, is it?

THE ACFT VEERED OFF THE RWY DURING TAKEOFF GROUND RUN AND NOSED OVER. 
THE PLT INIDCATED THAT DURING THE TAKEOFF HIS SEAT SLID REARWARD AND HE 
WAS UNABLE TO REACH THE THROTTLE OR THE RUDDER PEDALS.

But this is not serious of course, Yves!

Now the BAKs. Ai, ai, ai. It is more complicated than I thought (as 
ever, hrmpfl!). I can get some distances, but not all. And the points I 
provided are for BAK-9 and not BAK-12. And FAA does not have the BAK-12 
or other device  distances in the table (with some exceptions I will 
cover later).

There are some standards defined (FAA AC 150/5220-9A):
http://www.faa.gov/documentLibrary/media/advisory_circular/150-5220-9A/150_5220_9a.pdf
(Hey, this is probably also a cool source to improve the model?)
And here a link to a article with useful information chez boeing 
aeromagazine:
http://www.boeing.com/commercial/aeromagazine/aero_13/runway_story.html
- Here a short video of a mobile device in action
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zoyrDfA90Ac
and more about mobiles:
http://www.af.mil/shared/media/epubs/AFH10-222V8.pdf
- Minimize the impact to commercial airplane operations
http://www.boeing.com/commercial/airports/faqs/arrestingsystems.pdf
- any other sources around I missed ?

- Our model(s) should depend on runway width (maybe three models for 
150/200/300' ar sufficient ?). (Another question came up btw. Shouldn’t 
this device data go into apt.dat runway definition somehow, like 
stopways and lightning ?. I would vote for that, but I do not see any 
possibilities unless we provide a own and modified apt.dat or xplane has 
some plans to improve this small part too, like it is in with stopways i.e.)

Now when I look to charts I find visually more data than in FAA tables. 
But the overrun distances on runways are not reflected, the symbol is 
placed where it looks nice on a chart. So I need the length of the 
overrun from somewhere else, then I can calculate the device coordinates 
on runway. I found some values in FAA airport remarks and in NOTAMs, 
other values will be estimated, but I tend to take only data published 
in FAA data nd NOTAMs, and leave the rest.

Now for preparing better data for the scenery I can

a) take FAA defined base/reci EOR coords, subtracting overrun per runway 
(disadvantage: the updated FAA coords differ from xplane data 
someplaces, the runway ends and center may differ, so without change to 
the runway lines of the fg apt.dat facility the devive can be misplaced)

b) take current FlightGear apt.dat center point of runway, calculate 
ends and subtract overrun where I can find it (disadvantage: when fg 
apt.dat is updated once with more accurate data the device will be 
misplaced too).

c) Take xplane 8.50 runway data in the hope it is updated with current 
FAA data. (disadvantage: I always have to check 3 data sources for 
inconsistency, fg/xplane/FAA)

Personally I prefer a), trying to provide also current runway data 
associated, published by FAA and not by xplane. I am not sure about 
that, but I think newer xplane data version are updated with FAA data 
anyway from time to time, and when WE go for an update, the runway AND 
device data will be correct. I can not estimate how many runways are 
affected with changes when I choose a), but I guess it is not that much.

I would really like when someone starts to improve the model(s), 
probably think about scenerarios, making the barriers operational in a 
sophisticated way, cares about materials, cares about lbs, making it 
interactive (tower/pilot)

Hi Martin

As I understand Vivian’s model takes care about runway textures and is 
ready out of the box, but not perfect, as many other things in 
FlightGear.

When someone wants to merge in another model or add new models for other 
device types, great! But this would be a another project. So there is no 
logical reason for me to put the data improvemment back to the fridge, 
just because the fridge has become that large from time to time, and 
just because we have the luxury of two models and a decision have to be 
made.

I will try to take full responsabililty for the data I submitted, and I 
will check scenery (when someone wants to help here, please report AI 
traffic hanging in chains) ;-)

But anyway, there is no hurry with such a detail like this devices. Was 
just an idea of a very small improvement and having more FAA data in 
FlightGear. Do what you want with this data and what is possible at the 
moment.

Cheers, Yves

Hi Martin

Thought it is a standard distance, but ...

c. A BAK-12 can be located anywhere on the runway or in the safety area 
depending upon the military mission requirements.

I will try to provide individual distance from the end of runway in the 
data.

No, I'm wrong. The one I did which says this:

* Add runway arrester gear type BAK-12. Based on Dave Culp's original work.

is operational. 

The other one, which used to be non-op, seems to have gained operational
capability along the way. It was the original intention to have 2 - a
simpler, non-op one and a more complex functional one. The distinction seems
to have become blurred along the way

 The other one, which used to be non-op, seems to have gained operational
 capability along the way.

You see, in order to avoid confusion, having just one operational
arrestor would have been the clever solution.

We're trying to simulate real-world, don't we ?  Sure, we're not
perfect but I think we're doing our best within the limits of our
ressources.  Thus, intentionally leaving an inoperational arrestor in
place (instead of fixing it) sounds a bit odd 

Now, who would like to merge the best of both into one single model -
before the feature freeze ?

Cheers,
Martin.

It is Latitude/Longitude of physical runway base/reciprocal end as 
defined by FAA. I can also add the source and date of this point in the 
list, when it is useful. But I better do not add elevation of this point 
for fg scenery, right ?

My 2 Rappen (swiss cents) this will make fg the leading and most recent
