Flughafen Knuffingen (MiWuLa) Teil 1/2 HD (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gn1qMYfFrro#ws)
Alright..... I know one of you geeks here built this thing in your moms basement!
The ground vehicles blow all the stop signs. :)
The only time I see them stop so far is when it would be an obvious incursion.
The Condor flight taxing to the gate looks like it's got the towbar still on the nose gear.
I can imagine the pilots now.. in Han Solo style.
"I hope the old man got that sky door to work, or this is gonna be a real short trip, okay, hit it!"
What does a giant concrete column right in the middle of the airspace look like on a sectional chart?
I see more "towbars" now. Kinda makes sense. The plain bare landing gear isn't enough to have the magnetic traction for the ground movement.
Over all, if they can work out the fluidity. If those airliners full of people came to a stop, and start like that, you'd be reading all kinds of nastygrams on the airline review sites. :)
..and the turns of the ground vehicles just don't have enough "sway" in them.
The project manager did a video diary detailing the multi-year development and construction process. His name, as I recall, is Gerd, and they're all on YouTube.
And they're excellent. You will, however, blow a whole day darn near watching them.
The real thing.. a real airport with real airplanes ... is so much better. I'd rather spend my time there.

You say that as if you've never been to LAX.

By scale, "Obstruction -- 1000' or higher" . . .

You say that as if you've never flown on Delta (America's answer to Aeroflot -- during the 1970s) . . .
It's certainly an interesting exercise in robotics/AI and I wouldn't be surprised if several thesis' arose from the project.
At 9:25 I noticed the fifth plane parked at the gate is a Dreamliner.
The detail is impressive, right down to the occasional wisp of smoke coming out the cargo bay door.

They should add smoke effects.
Wow. That is incredibly impressive!
