Author Topic: Faster "move" command request (Read 421 times)

HTC,

Given ongoing threads concerning the visibility out of some of the new cockpits, it occurs to me a faster set of "move" commands would help. These are the commands (up, down, right, left, forward, back) which currently can be used to "look around" canopy framing, but which currently operate very slowly.

Would it be difficult to speed this command up by, say, 200%, so it's 3 times faster? Even better, but more work for HTC, would be adjustable move speeds.

This could be viewed as an investment in the future, as more and more cockpits are upgraded to new standards, and as they aquire more visually obtrusive framing.

The realism police are going to be knocking at your door as soon as they get their nighttime back. Some will say "Your head cannot move that fast in real life, so you shouldn't be able to change views that fast." But then again, what if your little pilot has something in his eye obstructing his view... maybe we should build those types of things into the game to counteract the likelihood of someone being able to turn their head 200% faster than others could. =)

The realism nazis don't have much of a leg to stand on so long as the game consists of La7s shooting each other down in an endless loop.

Note: all both of you CT regulars need not apply.

Some of you guys seem to be confusing the "move" commands with something else. To see their current behavior in AH, go to "setup" - "controls" - "keyboard map" - "view keys", to see what keys you have them currently mapped to.

These keys can be used to simulate the ability to move your head around the cockpit, to see around canopy bars. The movement rate is currently very slow. Any healthy person can move their head around several times as fast as this; that's why I suggest speeding up by a factor of 3. Therefore, no "realism police" necessary. :-)

I would be interested in whether anyone from HTC thinks this is something they would consider changing.

Realism Police?

I challenge anyone to look to the right, and then zoom in forward with the arrow key.....takes around 3-4 seconds, when any WWII pilot (18-mid 30's) could do it in 1/4 of a second
