December 24, 200916 yr Which are the estimated values of runway length for take-off and landing? Is this hypothesis correct? I will wellcome any values: STOL aircraft: 50 meters or lesser. Small aircraft: 51-500 meters. Medium aircraft: 501-1000 meters. Large aircraft: 1001-2000 meters. Very Large aircraft: 2001 meters or more.

Hmm medium... sounds familiar... for my dbs... the official db has no medium value for planes or helicopters and no UAV PAD, the added values cause a bit strange looking data in the game for the runwaysize cause the values are hard coded into the game, but my addition works fine with no sideeffects for some years, except for the visual one VTOL ist really Vertical like Harrier.. I've got an exelsheet somewhere on some hd describing it....
December 24, 200916 yr Author VTOL ist really Vertical like Harrier.. Sorry, I will mean STOL ... I edit my previous question, for sake of clarification.

Can´t find the file... but from memory it feels that you´re right. except the carrier aircraft. Large = something like an F14, medium something like F4, small A4 + Carrier capable flag the idea behind the different handling for carrier planes: the carriers have catapults and recovery(brake) gear, so they represent a much larger runway than they actually are. and due to the different sizes we can model their different size a carrier like the Ilustrious Class is a Vtol Carrier handle Harrier etc an WWII CVE is some kind of Stol or small Runway a WWII straight Carrier is a small carrier they can handle A4 etc and Prop planes post WW angeld deck = medium size (like Midway) they can handle F4, F8 etc a super carrier starting with the Forrestal Class = large they can handle F-14 and A5 Aircraft If a carrier could handle a specific plane that belongs to the next larger type, i normally downsize the specific plane instead of giving the carrier the next larger size
December 24, 200916 yr Author Thanks for your wide answer, really we only need a rule determinating what runway lenght is STOL, Small, Medium, Large or Very Large, the take-off and landing distance is an accesible data. Now messing with EC-121 and variants, after the reading of 4 or 5 books about the plane. In the monographic books it's easy to find take-off and landing distancies (reading a lot of russian books those days, also), and it's a pity not to be able to use them because this issue.

Hmm i buy your set of values from the first post for two reasons... 1. it looks as if i lost my sheet with the rules i used for creating Southamerican Airfileds 2. your rule feels familiar to those rules i remember without having my sheet...

I undertook a half hour search for my notes too and found nothing, someone stole the runway length data!

I really don't remember read this runway length data never, and I'm now near ten years absorbed by the DB editing world, perhaps his existence it's a Midnight Winter Dream ?
