it is good that you can follow the music despite its format.
it is not imagination that i used to create the ability to "fly" in an ocean liner.
i saw the ship in a harbor once as i was flying in for a landing somewhere, and i saw that it was moving, so i realized is was an "ai traffic" object and not a static rendition.
i then went through the "ai traffic library" directory and found the ship, and i opened it's configuration file, and i control copied the texture part of the file into the configuration file of an inferior 747 , and i found that i could load the ship as a valid "plane" to fly.
but of course i did not have the thrust or the aerodynamic capacity to do so, and so i edited the ships performance configuration file to give it 12 million pounds of thrust in 4 engines (unseen), that can catapult a 130,000 tonne vessel skyward. and i wrote it's aerodynamic lift to be unrealistically high.
i thought of it ages ago, and i uploaded a video to youtube a long time ago when the maximum resolution was 320x240.
here it is ( i also worked on the sound file to make it sound "gigantic and powerful"), and it is a very crude precursor to the clip you posted about.
it is not very good but tra la la la la.

I think it's great, b9! Not everyone can make 130,000 tonne vessel take off out of the ocean and fly through the air and then of course land perfectly on a run way. I had no idea how you did it but now it all makes sense. Thanks for sharing the take off and landing video too.

i did not land perfectly. i sat the back of the ship down too early and i obliterated some houses as i scraped my way to the runway.
it is extremely difficult to fly a 130,000 tonne vessel. one has to work out how to control such momentum in advance (like about 5 minutes or so before one enters an area where careful control is required), and if i had landed 1000 ft later, i may have run off the runway and wound up in the water (maybe i should have tried it).
it is not "art", and my video is inappropriate to this thread.
I thought you missed the houses and might of touch the edge of the water way. I don't know all about stuff like this and so it looked smooth as butter to me. You, of course, know about these things.
Well it is something you created and could be considered art by some and you're certainly not offending anyone by posting them here. I really enjoyed them and appreciate you sharing them. Thank you again, b9.

The animals depicted here are Velociraptor and Hyracotherium.

Sorry about that - I don't understand why that keeps happening.
Aha - scratch that
- I do know why it's happening...
I'd had trouble a while back with people hot-linking to images on my website so I altered the ".htaccess" file in the root directory to prevent it. I'll copy the images into a new subdirectory in a different domain that isn't protected in this way and alter the image URLs in my posts - that should fix it.
