MAAS

A mobile aircraft arresting system, or MAAS for short, is a system that helps to bring a landing plane to a full stop. It is composed of two trailers and a set of arresting wires. The wires are tightened between the trailers. A plane's tailhook can catch the wire and the braking system of the MAAS will slow down the plane rapidly.

In Arma 3 the system is currently static, it needs to be deployed on the runway from the editor. It can help landing on very short runways or alternative runways.
The CBA mod is a requirement.

The aircraft currently will be equipped with a tailhook (virtual or real one). With the extended tailhook the braking system will be started when a wire is caught by the tailhook. The plane will come to a stop within a few dozen meters.

README for the Mobile Aircraft Arresting System (MAAS)

The system uses keyboard shortcuts to operate, not menu actions.

A player that is close to a MAAS trailer can deploy or pack it with Shift-M.
A pilot can utilize the MAAS via Ctrl-Shift-M to deploy a virtual or actual tailhook.
Once hooked to the wire, a pilot needs to use Ctrl-Shift-M to raise the tailhook and become ungrappled.

The keybindings are maintained by CBA and can be changed.

The MAAS can be deployed as slingload of a helicopter.

The wire model suppports three animations:
ani_cable1_wide
ani_cable1_long
ani_cable1_high

The trailer supports five animations:
body_source
rearPlates_source
switchA_source - graphical problems
switchB_source - graphical problems
switchC_source - graphical problems

Known Issues of the Mobile Aircraft Arresting System (MAAS)

o It can be packed up while a plane is held by the wire
o When deploying one MAAS trailer will actually spawn two trailers and a wire, for sake of playability
o Multiple MAAS deployments have not been tested and will most likely not work or spam the system with scripts
o Multiplayer and compatibility with dedicated servers has not been tested
o No engine sound
o Deployment animation is crude, especially the rear plates
o Icon needs to be replaced
o Artefact at the rear on the ground

TODO for the Mobile Aircraft Arresting System (MAAS)

o Animate the instrument panel
o Create a realistic mode with two trailers and a rolled up wire, supported through some logistic mod
o Replace wire with better looking model
o Support multiple MAAS deployments on map
o Add engine sound, probably make the trailer a carX
o Add deployment sound
o Replace setVelocity with addForce in ttt_maas_fnc_useWire
o Evaluate using tailhook up animation for stopping to brake the plane
