Flips

First of all I know flying in PS is not like a simulator but, I was thinking can you do a flip in a air vehicle? If not do you think it would be a cool feature to have?

The flight model is suppoded to be like Tribes 2. I havent played that so I dont know the answer to your quesrion, but if you have played it, than it will probably be like that. Happy boating!

yeah you can flip in tribes 2 but that almost always means your not going to survive

Quite simply, we arent sure yet

I was thinking of an idea that you are piloting a galaxy with two mosquitos on your tail and you continue to fly until you get near a cliff or mountain and pull straight up and the mosquitos are trashed...

What do you mean we arnt quite shure? You have played it and know but refuse to tell us. meany.... Why wont you tell us? I know it might change, but it would still be great to know. If you signed an agreement or something than thats ok, but if you diddnt, than share the love man!

Its not worth my commenting on it and creating some kind of an uprising. I know it was still in a tweaking process, and I feel its best for us to wait and see. :|

I thought I remember either Rogue or Dave say that the flight craft could not be inverted.

Jaged · 2003-02-13, 08:08 PM

Hamma, your so mean

jk, Its all good.

Jaged · 2003-02-13, 08:10 PM

Wait a sec, I just read Hamma's post more carefully. "start some kind of an uprising"? That can't be good. Are the flight controld that bad?

They need to get it like BF1942's model: easy to crash if you're not careful, but not so difficult that it's frustrating. Ok, maybe a LITTLE easier than that, but still hard enough to have a good chuckle at all the n00bs crashing.

Don't go digging for hidden meaning into Hamma's post....

Anyhow, I would guess that you can't flip, since all references to flying sounds like you can't bank, and adjusting altitude is just a straight up and down adjustment, not a bank up or down.

It would be nice if the flight controls for smaller craft were like BF1942 but for larger transports I think it needs to be much like T2. T2 was pretty simple for flying but you didn't crash as often when transporting people. Need to focus more on getting your people there in one piece than how cool it is to fly them there.

I wouldn't mind a flight system similar to Aces High.

Hamma · 2003-02-13, 08:49 PM

There is no hidden meaning Einstein. Back a few months ago when I made a false comment on certs there was all sorts of debate (again).

I don't want to be responsible for that
