New Mossie: Hover mode enabled, wtf?

[Kazaa]

BatfinkV, did it do this before?

Just got in and saw the update, downloading it now. What exactly happens?


edit HiRes pack at 40% dangit hurry up

Drives around like a helicopter.

High angle of attack for level flight you mean, or what? Stall turns?

There are small group of avid mossie fans on the forum, wonder if one of them has tried it yet. I'd like to know what karnak, sherf or thrila think about her for starters.

To be honest. I have not noticed a significantly different turn/stall behaviour between the 2 versions. But I will take a closer look again.

Rgr boozeman.
dang 73%, slow download today for me. The suspense is killing me

From what little time I have flown the new Mossie, it appears to be a little more gentle in the stall. Before the heavy bellybutton end of the plane would point to the earth and you would go in a death spiral. Havent happened to me yet on the new update, but Ill fly it a lot more to get a better feel of it.

After taking a second look, the elevator authority incrased significantly at low and medium speeds, so the new Mossie can tighten turns quicker now, but it's also easier to stall her.
I still need to check if the max. turn rate and min. turn radius did change or not.

After flying it for a few hours i have to say it's great. The vertical and horizontal moves all feel pretty much unchaged, which i'm happy about. Seems a bit more nippy and able in the climb as you said. The differences in FM are no where near as noticable as the new visuals which are very nice indeed.

Feels a lot more responsive at lower speeds, can hold higher AoA at lower speed, better control in the stall.

How is the directional stability?  Does the nose still wobble all over when trying to make a shot?

Yes, the yaw is still present just like in the older mossie. However, the center of gravity appears to have been corrected and is so much easier to control in the stall.

I had to go to work 25 minutes before the patch was released....

I'll be doing tests when I get home.
