Improve the flight model -- make it even more realistic
« on: October 29, 2011, 09:57:07 PM »
Not smart enough to know how, and it's awesome right now.  There must be a way to improve it further, make it even more awesome.  Please raise priority of said improvement high on the list. :aok

Thank you.   :salute

What's wrong with the current system?

What was wrong with the Ferrari to cause Ferrari to come out with the new Ferrari?  :headscratch:

What was wrong with the Iphone for Steve Jobs to come out with the new Iphone?  :headscratch:

Questions best left for the owners / designers of said products.

Like Steve Jobs said, he didn't believe in customer focus groups, he came up with the vision for what people didn't even know that they were missing.  Now they don't want to live without these improvements.

The flight model is awesome, maybe HiTech has some ideas on the table but no one has asked for them or thinks improvements are wanted /  needed.  New planes are nice, but improvements in flight modelling / atmosphere / physics modelling would also be great. :)

Just to add some value here besides hoping HiTech has some ideas on the table.  :cool:

How about wake turbulance / buffetting modeled?  :headscratch:   Don't want to limit ideas though...  Very interested if HiTech has any ideas he's been thinking about but no one has asked for them. :aok

I thought you were asking for flight modeling? Turbulence is weather. We already have buffeting.

HTC is not going to add weather in the near future because far not all computers will be able to handle it.

I think the flight models are fine.  What HTC could EASILY do is add in more clouds and some wind, perhaps some legit cloudy days so there is no glaring sun and the cloud layer at 15-17k can not be seen through.

The environment is what is lacking, imo.  So much more could be added to the AH MA's with minimal tinkering.  The settings are already there.

 :O I knew it!  As soon as I put an "example" idea out, you would think that's what I'm asking for.  Not at all.  :bhead

Asking for ANY improvements to the flight modelling / physics / or atmosphere to the extend those affect flight.   Just would like to see it be even more realistic (if HiTech has any ideas that he's thought about). :)

have to ask...how many real spitfires have you flown in your limited lifespan to make you believe the ah flight model isn't as real as it can get?

We have winds. They are not used in the MA, not sure why.

I'm sure that Hitech will be happy to improve Aces High for a change, now that somebody has suggested it, instead of continuing to waste his time with whatever it is he's been doing for the last 10 years.  :devil

Oh my.   I always enjoyed someone dropping troops or suplies from a goon in AH1 and not taking into account of the wind.    Watching them float away from the town/runway and listening to Range Channel was classic.
