Author Topic: wtf with rv8 (Read 1264 times)

Hitech used the RV8 to compare to his real aircraft (which is an RV8). By coding the game engine, then seeing how it flies and behaves in comparison to the real thing, he's been able to get a fairly decent flight model running.

Most other game developers don't bother to do that.

The RV8 has been around a while, from what we were told. It was just hidden, a testing tool. So for that convention they stuck miniguns on it and released it for the convention-goers.

It is not a WW2 plane. Any time you see it enabled, it is a BUG, a problem with the default map setup.

It will never be enabled at any main arena unless HTC wants it to be. The odd fields you find it at are simply oversights in the checking of the maps.

It can be enabled by dot command in the training arena only... by us mere mortals.

Is it enabled in the freeloaderz arenas?

Those are rooms, not arenas.

I should run for office.

I've never even flown it...don't know the . command. I would like to take it for a spin, but I guess I can't:cry

I think (for the next con) HT should enable the RV8 with cannons for us poor schmucks that can't go, and the con-goers get the flying PT Boats again. Just a thought.

Saw one last night..

I have flown it once in the MA, it was fun.. Kept a Spit busy for 20 min while the squad took a Vbase. Didn't get any proxys though

Orange I think... It was the base we took when I flipped the tiger. I saw it take off from the field and fly away...

I remember that. I'll have to check that out.
