Things I've seen
« on: June 25, 2004, 09:45:23 AM »
I'll post some screenshots of some of this tonight (if I can) when I get home.  Otherwise, I'll email them to HT.

I DO have a shot of the vodka bottle in the LA7 being transparent when I was flying over water

There's also this wierd thing where I look at the stand that the SBs are on, and from a distance they look like a wavy mass of black circle slices.  I'll send that one too.

Also, I've noticed that from time to time, when I look back, I see a tracer round flying down through my canopy.  The first couple of times it really freaked me out...  now I'm getting used to seeing bullets fly from behind me when nobody's there (probably a bad thing)

Last night, when I was cruising over water, the texture of the water made it look like I was flying backwards (I was in a Dhog flying at about 10k)

I was also wondering if the sun blindness could be tweaked.  If I'm looking at a plane flying past the sun, then the sun will blind me, but if I change my view angle and roll a bit, then I can contrast the badguy easily from the sun.  Sun blindness should really be a measure of how far the pixel is from the sun, not how close the sun is from the center of your current view.

Lastly, I keep hearing these odd pops in my LA7 when I turn.  I don't know if this is a feature that I'm unaware of (just started playing for the first time in a year), but I thought I'd point it out since it seems odd to me.

What you are seeing is the clipboard. If you bring up the clipboard - put it away - check your 6 - you will see the clipboard zoom past you (really fast) and it appears to be going into the cockpit.

I've also experienced the above, as well as the "pop" sound you heard. (But the popping only happened on last weeks map.)

The tracer coming from behind is your kneeboard closing. It flies back behind the plane and then mounts itself under the dash.

The popping sound in La7 is the leading edge slats.

LOL why dont they just get rid of that little clipboard animation.
We dont really need it.
I mean just have it there or not instead of it swirling away like it does.

heh wouldnt it be a kicker if that little ani was the somehow source of the video probs
