Realistic start up
« on: July 20, 2013, 03:03:07 AM »
Hello Guys,
My wish is that the aircraft in the game would have to be started up like the real thing and then taxi and then ttakeoff.
Just to add to the realism, oh, and also remove the enemy icons  harder to kill enemys and more realism

Ava runs no icons. having 3 countries in the ma flying the same planes will get very confusing.

oh please grant his wish and also please allow my pony to carry more than 6 rockets.   heck I might even switch for the p47 with it's unlimited ammo and more rockets and bombs.  I would probably land 30 or 40 kills per sortie without rearming.

oh wait, we are being trolled, arent we?

how about no...then again there is NO.

before anyone else says it, if you want to fly without enemy icons in the main arenas, feel free to do so but it's not going to be an arena setting.

1. You can Spawn from the hanger (H) and taxi to the runway for take off.
2. You can download any number of sound packages here from the sound forums. This gives you all kinds of enhanced details including guns, engines, damage, etc. I use USRanger's myself.
3. Press the "alt" and "i" keys at the same time. This cycles through your icon options and you can turn them off completely.

You do realize that starting these engines isn't like starting your car. If you want an idea of how involved it can be go over to Zeno's and check out the video on operating a B-29. Start up alone takes something like twenty minutes. Also who are you going to get to pull the radials through to clear the bottom cylinders of oil?

Like others have said you can always spawn in the hanger and taxi out to the runway. Remember to "S" turn as you go so that you can see what is in front of you.

He wants "realism" so I hardly think F3 is an option he'd take.

 Imagine the vultching if everyone had to go through a realistic engine start up? :rofl


  Panic the learning curve in this game is tough enough as is you they added in realistic engine management and startup most would never get off the ground.

  There are sims that do these things but you cant fly with 300 to 500 others and shoot each other down. In the past I've thought it would be neat to have all the engine management of a real plane but all it would really add is just some buttons to press. I do understand the desire for immersion,it's one of the reason my squad will spawn in the hanger and taxi to the runway for takeoff,of course we only do these things in special events as it would just result in a bunch of vultches in the main arenas.
