Flight Physics lesson from Rogue - Page 2

I do like barrel rolls though =( That was my favorite part of flying a plane in bf1942. Makes for interesting air combat. DAVE PUT IT IN!!!!!!

What I want, is to fly. I don't want to stear and strafe a frikken helicopter. These things are planes - jets - I wan't them to handle like planes and jets. I don't want TACs and real life stalls, I wan't barrel rolls, I want an active Y axis. I don't want to feel like I'm gonna tip the boat over if I turn too fast.

Well as said the main focus is ground combat, a helicopter type aircraft is much better suited than a plane type for air-to-ground combat.

I'm not too worried about it, i'm sure the devs know what they are doing.

"the main focus is ground combat"

Why even put in the aerial aspect then? I just think that if they are going to do it, they should do it right. It seems to me, from what I have gathered, albeit limited in substance, that we are getting the T2 flight models - airborne boats. I can honestly say that I would rather see the game released without aeronautics, and wait a few months for a really quality flight model to com out in a patch. That's just me, but I know the number one reason people went out to buy BF1942 is all of the aspects of war working together. They all got the same attention and detail in proportion, I just hope that the devs realise how important that will be to this game. If they don't, I'm a little worried we're going to see MM Tribes online.

Yeah but did you ever notice that in BF1942 everybody runs for the planes? So what would happen in Planetside where there is an unlimited number of aircrafts, answer : it becomes an aerial war game.

I'm not against better flight system than T2, just saying i can see why they might not be concentrating on that aspect. I'm sure it will be fine and will be improved on after release.

Just cause I feel like arguing with you dio

"Yeah but did you ever notice that in BF1942 everybody runs for the planes? So what would happen in Planetside where there is an unlimited number of aircrafts, answer : it becomes an aerial war game"

First off, all the plane whores play coral sea now, with it's 4 second plane respawns,

Secondly you can't win a war from 35,000 feet. You'd have to have ground troops to take and defend bases. Look at real wars, planes are not the deciding factor (Assuming both sides have real planes - not like the french or Iraqis).

Glad I'm not Iraqi. Thank you God. There's gonna be way too much glass over there soon.

Planes are not exactly unlimited. You can spawn one, regarless of who else has spawned one, but then you have a time limit before you can spawn a second one. So when you get shot down you can't just hop in another plane.

If you don't want it to be arial warfare then you nerf the weapons on the Aircraft, not nerf the flight system. (I am under the impression the the mosquito and the reaver are not really powerhouse attack craft anyways).

I just want the aircraft to be as fun to fly as possible. I have not seen the flight system yet although I know I didn't like the tribes flight engine at all. BTW I have nothing against a helicopter style flight engine.

�io · 2003-01-17, 04:23 PM

Yeah i know you don't win a war with planes, i'm just saying if the devs aren't (maybe they are, we don't know) concentrating on making a good flight system i can understand why, Smokey has said it many times, PS is a ground combat game so he might not want to spend too much time on the aerial aspect.

Either way i don't really care, i trust the devs to make the right desicion and i'll have mucho fun either way.

Meh, i've seen better.

This is some amazing T2 stuff, including a tiny bit of flying but mostly amazing stuff with discs.

Hamma · 2003-01-17, 08:55 PM

Those are all top 10 teams, best shrikers around

I have an assload of t2 movies lol, includin that one

�io · 2003-01-17, 08:56 PM

Just download my link and then tell me they are good.

Navaron · 2003-01-17, 10:08 PM

Yeah, I lived one of Dios disc movies. He pwned me like a Vietnamese hooker.

RabidPlatypus · 2003-01-18, 12:14 AM

If you wanna see two of the best tribes movies ever look up best of the best 1 and 2.

Doobz · 2003-01-18, 01:21 AM

you see, wouldnt mind too much if the physics were like helicopter physics, as long as they felt solid. T2 felt like gello, and theres no other way to put it. it just kinda floated around, like you were flying on water.
