My Stall Limiter Spin

[funkedup]

If you read the news item, you can see that they are implementing this in a very smart way.  
1.  It doesn't let the plane do anything that a normal plane can't do.
2.  In fact a plane with stall limiter will have somewhat less maneuverability than one without the stall limiter.
3.  It seems it will only be enabled for newbies.  After 30 days the training wheels come off whether you like it or not.

I don't see a problem.  It won't let anybody do impossible maneuvers or out-turn a good pilot.  All it will do is reduce the frustration levels for guys who are just starting out.  

And if I'm wrong then there's always the Combat Theater.

NP here as well.......

Sounds like a nice implimentation.

When I was a newbie in WB, my biggest frustration was the accelerated stall.

[GRUNHERZ]

Does AH even model stalling? I seem not to notice for a very long time noe.

yeah we've got a new guy in our squad, that i've been helping, he hasn't got any rudder control except keyboard, so cant recover as easy from spin.

you should hear him over the squad channel cussing and swearing everytime he goes into a stall/flat spin and crashes should help people like him not get so frustrated and keep our squad channel clear

I think its a good idea, now please release it already!

Funked, I thought that a stall limiter was also called a spitfire?

Yeah, I don't see what everyone's worried about, HTC has clearly explained how it will give the person not using AOA a much greater advantage in manuvering than someone who is using it, just the person using it won't get into a stall as easy.

Great idea I can see direct and huge results for people new to the sim.

I really like that they come off after a month.
I don't see them giving anyone any advantage at all, but should ease the learning curve a bit.

I'm not sure it will help them a lot:

-during the first 30 days, they'll yank on the stick as hard as they can without consequence....but they'll still be fodder for the seasoned pilots.

-when the stall limiter period ends, they'll go through a lot of accelerated stalls, as they never had to beware about it before....then they'll get frustrated, insult everyone on channel 1 and cancel their accounts. Oh wait...that means that they at least paid a 1 month subscription to AH. I can see HTC's point.

Seriously, I don't see the point of this feature. You can't please casual players with a hardcore flightsim and vice-versa. Knowing HTC, it will be well implemented and won't affect the arena much. But IMO it's only an opportunity for an exploit (like WB's easy mode) with very little added value.

Once again, IMO.

 Seriously, HT's news flash solved all my worries over the stall-limiter. Looks reasonable enough! No problem here, too.

hu ?

Ground is the ULTIMATE spin limiter

I hope you can disable it. For all those WB vets or where ever else they come from might find it really annoying, awefully fast.

I think it should be off by default, and the newbie can switch it on if they want it, and thus be aware that the plane is in a 'easy-mode' (of sorts) so they'll be more prepared when the limter turns off after 30 days.

[Hristo]

Off by default, too many H2H hosts keep default settings.
