I was playing the mission where you have to infiltrate the Golden Glow Estate and do multiple things. When I was out burning beehives and fighting I just eventually ran away to view my success from a distance. I first noticed it when I squated down on a tree trunk. Coot..the squatter../simHQ/2011

Would it be feasible for that plant to be adapted for flight? _________________________ "Take that; you rotten Swastinkers you!" :British Pathe News 1940

Would it be feasible for that plant to be adapted for flight? Depends on the weight and power output. I'd hazard a guess that it's probably fairly heavy. Also it looks to me like he is using bushings in most places instead of ball bearings, so I don't know how well it would hold up to high power outputs or long term use. Anyone know what fuel he's using? I don't see glow or spark plugs.... maybe some kind of diesel? _________________________ Core i5-750 @ 3.2 Ghz [Hyper-212+ Cooling] Gigabyte P55A-UD3 Mobo 8GB G.Skill DDR3-1600 @ 9-9-9-24 XFX Radeon HD6950 Creative X-Fi Intel X25-M 80GB SSD 2x Hitachi 2TB HDD Corsair 650W PSU Dell 24" [1920x1200] LCD Viewsonic 20" [1680x1050] LCD

Without specialized oil gaskets under the head and in other places, it would leak badly if put under pressures to great. _________________________ Dell XPS 730x: Windows 7 Pro 64bit:Intel core i7 2.6ghz 8mb cache: 12gb Ballistix RAM DDR3: GPU Zotac GTX 580 AMP2 3GB: X-Fi Extreme Music Digital 7.1: 1Kw PSU: 42" Insignia LED 1080p: LG Blu-ray burner, Sony DVD/R: hd1/750GB,hd2/2TB,hd3/1TB,hd4/1TB My Youtube videos My Flickr Photos High Def Vimeo videos

I wondered if this was showing actual fuel burning operation, or maybe driven by compressed gas. I didn't see any ignition system, nor much exhaust gas. No idea.
