ya im sure the 1976 version of photosoft was lightly less advanced. lol

Futurama: You Can't Prove it Won't Happen

I believe your referring to the acceleration compensators. It eliminates g-forces in flight. They are used in tandem with repulsorlifts in atmospheric or gravitational flight.

They joked about the "force field" under the landspeeder, but it wasn't meant to be taken seriously.

Yeah, repulsorlift systems can only be used when there's a heavy gravitational force within the vicinity i.e. within a planets atmosphere, an asteroid or meteor. They push away from another gravitational force.

I must say, I'm liking what I'm reading about what you guys have in store with craft take off and landing. Sounds like it's going to be stellar!:D
