WOW Beta 5 is Nice
« on: December 06, 2003, 01:34:03 AM »
Tail wheel modeling and gear is nice.

That was the first thing I noticed when I joined AH1.  You couldn't turn them on a dime or do doughnuts like you can turn a real tail wheel.  You really get a sense of the different gear types as well.  i.e. tight  gear like spit vs wide gear like the 190.

It seems you can feel the difference with this beta in the FM too.  There seems tp be a better sense of the planes weight and it's inertia, especially at the bottom of a loop close to the ground.

The jury is still out on a decent tailslide and hammer head.

Love the eye candy as usual, FPS weren't great but it seems to be coming along.

Finally someone who appreciates reality.:aok

I've managed a kind of hammerhead only it wasn't at under 100mph :D had to start b4 it reached 100mph in the vertical and used lotsa opposite aileron and some rudder in the initial stages to keep it going straight up.  So it was more of a 'wing over' if that's the correct term or maybe it was a hammerhead I dunno.

Neither, it was a dweeb stalling and losing control :D
