Title: Vote on Clipboard/Walking Tour
Post by: OmarT on September 29, 1999, 07:50:00 AM
Although cool, it takes to long to go to station to station. I would prefer to teleport to each place.

My vote, make it an option.

I also say make it an option, it also causes delays when respawning though.

I also wish you could control the speed.

Made me nauseus a couple times.

I like it. although I could see where it could lose it's coolness to those impatient
or having connection troubles.

Concure,

Allow teleport or other option.

Best: Remove it - unnecessary

I like it myself, but feel no need to force others to like it as well. So makeing it an option would be fine with me as well.

I like it... moves really fast and helps with immersion. Making it an option wouldn't be bad, but I wouldn't mind leaving it exactly as is.

The fly throughs are a bit irrateting after a while.  I would not mind have the option to "walk through"  as in controlling my movements on the ground on foot as though I were in a ground vehichle.  I would also not mind a teleport.

Make it an option or get rid of it, I got very tired of having to wait.

Oltos, i agree with you....

I can see 2 paths for the "clipboard tour" to follow.

1. is to simply have instant teleporting to the various points on the field...short and sweet

2. is to have a "real" pilot model that you manually control, ie i can just walk around the base at my leisure all day, walk to the plane myself, ect....

its the "super quick, 9G, pilot on rails" effect that bothers me greatly...

ps. i'd really appreciate a true pilot model as with a flat rate and your detailed modeling (the control tower as a prime example)im sure id spend some time just sitting against the tower railing watching the planes come and go...VERY IMMERSIVE..

Irritating as hell in the hour or so I've logged however I would make it an option or lose it in the main arenas and in historical scenarios I'd make the pilot walk to his aircraft to add immersion and slow down response times to "air raids" etc...

Make it an option, and like others, I would like to see the ability to just run around the field like you can after you bail out successfully.

Dump it, or make it optional. One of the worst ideas I've seen so far in ANY sim.

I think it should be an option but if we ever have scenarios like in WB I think it should be mandatory. Makes the scramble a little more realistic.

 Would be cool to be able to see the guys running on the ground trying to get to the plane and maybe even be able to shoot them before they get there.  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Sorry just feeling a little evil.

There will be a speed slider in the setup for how fast you move around.  That'll let you zip between places if you want.

How about a 5 minute minimum between launches?
Title: Vote on Clipboard/Walking Tour
Post by: Curly on September 29, 1999, 02:54:00 PM
Here! Here!

It takes me at a minimum 10 minutes of shaking my head trying to clear it and wondering what the heck I did to get shot down so badly.
 I'd gladly jump at 5 minutes.    (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

drop it. it's really a very bad idea, and those unnatural runs make me sick after a moment.

on the contrary, the clipboard is a very nice thing, a unique interface to have access to settings, maps, maybe later mission briefing notes ... And flexible too as it can be enlarged/repositioned.

I personally love the scenery around tower.
But its take a time.
With considering the charge or special event, I think this system should be the option.

Please make it an option.

After the first three times, you get tired of it.

Make it an option. It is very cool but frustrating as **** to wait and wait and wait... I want to get the action not walk around an airport!

What would be really nice is to see EVERYONE having to walk/run, (rather than the e ticket ride)* to get where ya want to go..

Would also be a nice alternative to the "Fly till I die" syndrome...(would be a deterrant)

Would definately give a new meaning to
"AIR RAID!!!, Scramble Scramble!!"

Would be a lot more immersive.

 Like someone else said, just watching the comings and goings of aircraft is nice on occassion. (after ya been shot down fer the umpteeth time in the last 10 mins.. or just smeared yerself all over the tarmac trying to get airborne in a hurry with an overloaded plane...LOL)

Also, having to taxi to the runway rather than starting on it.. and make a "cross country" takeoff a LOT more difficult and more prone to gear/prop damage..

and
and
and
and infinitum....

Just dreaming..
