Stick Stir

[higheye]

This is my first post on the forum, something has became a real bummer to me as of late and I just wanted to see what others opinion of it was.  I have noticed a large increase in pilots using completely impossible aircraft manuvers to avoid a six shot.  Now I know that noone wants to be shot down in here, but when pilots are doing manuvers that no sane pilot would ever attempt on a regular basis (even in an Extra 300) there seems to be a problem.  Doing these stick stirring manuvers just shows a lack of, or even an attempt to learn air combat manuvers.  I strongly feel that there should be a way for the combat to be more realistic, in the long run it would mean more fun for all.  <Salute> Aces High nation, and thanks.

howdy high...

might want to toss out some jackal repellent and a flameproof suit because I can hear them coming

Welcome to the boards regardless.

they are just frustrated noobs.  cut em some slack, fall back a bit and then whack em when they come out of the seizure.

Seriously though, I personally have enough trouble with my aim without that crap, but measures against it have already been taken and it seems anything else risks interfering with normal flight.

Just remember that flying in Aces High is better than putting your life on the line for real.

There's a lot of things no sane pilot would try unless somebody was shooting at them.

Stick stirring ... what is it exactly?

Any film?

I wish something could be done about the very rapid alternating of positive and negative Gs. Rolling and skidding the plane seems plausible, but "porpoising" between blackout and redout?

In reality there are a lot of things I would not do in the extra that I would in a real dogfight (not training). No one wants to be shot down.

What do you mean by "impossible aircraft maneuvers"?

When you move too fast, then controls stop working. Right?  -- You must to shake your joystick as crazy man !

So i think that higheye is speaking about something else.

It's still possible to make those maneuvers, just not so many at once.

What maneuvers? Please explain.

What I witness among DA Lake graduates is 'the windmill' (They are twirling their stick in a fast windmill pattern, forcing micro-warps ) A real plane could never duplicate what the cartoon plane does in this scenario, and it often forces an overshoot...most annoying

Ive seen that. Its common in comming across a 1A or Chog and definatly brings the game to a new form of gamey

Constantly and rapidly changing direction.

Since in real life,if you did not blackout from these manuvers you would surely be quite sick to your stomach and probably hurl.  IRL I believe these "manuvers" would be debilating.  I know that would be difficult to code but maybe, just a suggestion here, it could be treated as a pilot wound currently is.  Vomit covering the canopy screen and since this would weaken you they could code that as only haveing half of the force on the controls.
