4. Gun interrupters so that you can no longer shoot through your tail fin or certain parts of the wings. The guns just stop firing when you traverse over those areas.

Oh happy day!

Hitech is and always will be a Putz.

But you have to be amazed at his ability to produce game content. His, and his teams, productivity puts most other MMP sims out there to shame.

to HT and his talented crew.

I hope that "particles" doesn't translate to "massive framerate hit."

could somone explain this "stall limiter" thingy to me? (i have very little knowledge of real flight or what most of the flight terms mean

)

Quote

7 Added a stall limiter, this has a number of modes of configuration from the host.
a) No one can use it.
b) Everyone must use it.
c) User selectable.
d) Only new users (1 month) can select it.

The way it works is it does not let you pull elevator far enough to pull into an accelerated stall. Because you can’t achieve max AOA, you won’t be able to achieve max turn rate with it but it will be helpful to new pilots trying to get a feel for things before advancing to normal mode

will this affect how i fly?
(never flew a flight sim before february this year so i have no experience with more realistic sims like microsoft or others)
will this stop zekes from doing the amazing manuevers they do?

thank you in advance

this means if it ends up in the main newbies wont stall but will die a bit easier to vets since they cant achieve max turn rate.

Strange but not a real concern if it works as advertised. Hopefully it will be a ta thing only.

enable as default for all spit pilots

Whats comming in 1.10
1.10 is getting very close, so I thought I would start on a list of changes.

1. Removed victory messages after kills, you and the person you shot down
still get the same message.
Victory messages now only appear after a successful landing with at least 2
kills...

This bad imo. I think we will have hundreds of folks yelling "kill" over the text buffer like they did in AW. Mini macros if you will.

Actually removing the public post kill messages right after a kill will improve combat. It makes for a more realistic and challenging arena as the killed by somebody announces to everyone wats going on in real time. That never occurred in real combat. Some people use this as part of their SA. People like me

Muuhahaha

Sounds interesting, especially for cherrypickers like me !
