Title: Question for a Pony expert
Post by: badhorse on April 07, 2011, 10:17:23 PM
Below the gunsight I've noticed a black arc. I never gave it much thought figuring it was some kind of scale or maybe a compass rose or something.  But I looked at it closer tonight and noticed although it has marks like a scale it has German Airplane names printed on it.  He177  ME210 FW190 etc.   Anyone know what that's about?

That is an easy one... the dial would preset the gun sight to that aircraft. Once the aircraft filled the gunsight, they could have the range.

It also allowed the gyro gunsights to work properly for that target as well.

many things of what exactly? things that dont work? truth be told some things that are just art in game but real in real life dont even need to be there because the gunsights etc work perfectly for us and custom gunsights can even improve over the real ones etc.

One thing that doesn't work is the virtual slap, whereby I as one in the community reach through the screen and slap you.
Criticism is supposed to constructive, don't be so vague in future  :bhead

I was thinking it's over modeled.

go make your own flight sim...we're all aware of your vast knowledge and expertise...

on the other hand...since every problem you encounter is between your chair and the keyboard, you could do something simple like...get a computer that will actually run the game...stop using a wireless connection...and stop blaming other people for your shortcomings...or just go outside and play g.i. joe with your little buddies.

Here are details on how the K-14 gunsight works.  Pretty neat stuff.

As for what's wrong with the AH model, it's not the booze that's modeled wrong.  I'll tell you what's really wrong.  Sunglasses aren't modeled!!!  :furious  Oh the injustice of it all!!  Can't Pyro and Hitech give us even perked sunglasses for flying into the sun???

Nothing worse then flying into the sun trying to climb out, always seems like when I think I found the perfect furball - I end up taking
off into the sun. It's pretty cool though, at least its modeled, only wish I could figure out how to dive out of the sun.

Hitech has a good sense of humor, I loved the vodka bottle in all the Russian planes.

this might be a bit off topic, and may be as far out as to need it's own thread in the wishlist forum, buuuuuuuuut.................. .can we have a middle finger emoticon?  i know that's unrealistic, it's just the only thing i can think of that sums up what i wanna say to this clown.

P.S. i love the pony gunsight, i have a red k14 in each of my planes, even the german ones  :)

To go along with the emoticon, I have always wished for a one finger salute dot command in game.

It could be /.bird <player name> and show up as <Bird>name

cant wait to see you guys in-game

 :huh

Anyway....

to bad it doesnt work.but thats just 1 of MANY things

A thought I had while Area 51ing last week and looking at the HUD of the claw. Even with a functioning K-14 gun sight, wouldn't the "fire here" + be restricted to the glass of the actual gun sight versus the Lead Computing Sight of the TA and off line that goes where ever it needs to go?

Maybe a true LCS wouldn't be that bad if modeled realistically. It would be nothing like the +.

I fly the Pony 99.999% of the time and I use the rose colored K12 sight and all guns set to 400 yards. I also have my forward view set to full page up for a better firing view for high angle turn attacks. I would say that most of my kills are in a tight high speed turning attack usually taking a wing off or a solid canopy hit instant kill. It takes some practice but once you have it down you won't want to change it. Good luck
