Title: Dynamic Flight model
Post by: F4UDOA on July 09, 2001, 09:59:00 AM

I'm probably going to be drawn and quartered for posting this but there is a new Box flight sim for air racing which is no threat to AH. However it does have one interesting feature. A dynamic flight model in which the player can modify his A/C for max performance at the sacrafice of some other options. As well as change engines, props, etc. Maybe there is a place for this in AH. One arena for player modifable A/C. Like Jugs running at 72inches of MAP and increased boost in the Dora, and one Historic arena for A/C that match the specs.
Any thoughts?

Here are the details

It just got reviewed by Simm HQ and Dogfighter.com this week and the Web site is brand new. I think this is a different game than what your thinking.

BTW, check out this AWESOME video. This is early beta. This is the best boxed graphics engine I think I've seen. WhooHoo!!

 Great Video (http://www.sim-arena.com/victory/xar/xar1.rm)
