Long description
Long description
This mod implements the mechanics of plane liftoff. With it planes from aircraft mod will not instantly aerial. When placed, they move around and collide like a car would. However, after the aircraft hits the speed of 88 mph, it initiates liftoff, if it manages to keep the speed for a particular length of runway (depends on the plane).
After covering the runway, the plane becomes aerial, (you'll see its shadow on the ground (actually, you'll see it over the plane itself, but that cannot be helped.).
In the airborne state plane behaves like plane would. Don't jump out of it, ever.
To perform landing, decrease speed, firstly plane will descend, then it will cover the same runway length as during the liftoff, then it can be stopped.
Liftoff parameters are individual:
Jet and gunship are pretty unconstrained. Cargo plane will fail reach takeoff speed without concrete runway.

Issues
When something goes wrong, you sometimes can note double planes. Least problematic occurrence is when there's no fuel. In worse cases you might have to rembuild the plane.
To do someday
-add parachutes and falling planes
Modding
It is almost possible to use the mod as a library, however I was a bit lazy on that part.
Seeing how airplane mods are few, if you make one, contact me and I'll update this mod in a most braindead way to work with your mod as well.
