AH Physics: Accurate, fun, realistic and.... not used to full potential?

very nice idea CoilSpring!

In h2h we some times have races, would be more fun seeing some loose control, flip out, crash and slide along the ground, than the instant explosion thing we have now


and vorticon,
RDX, the explosive in bombs of that day, was quite stable

besides, what you just said there can already happen, kamikazi lanc dive bombers






and just who the heck is Karaya2?

well I think it was a wonderful post. But the jury is still out on wether or not it was a whine.  I've seen no sine of Rude in here and we all know he is the final judge on whines :)

CoilSpring, I agree with most of your thoughts, with exception of having to wait while you see yourself die.

But adding in the things like what happens when a plane crashes into the building at high speeds,is much more involved than you might think.


P.S.
Nice post

I'm flattered, what can I say...

I'm also surprised Rude hasn't commented, but there's still time.
Thanks, all of you, for actually reading the whole thing and for the reasonably small number of whine-accusations.

It's kind of humbling to have your very first post commented on by one of the creators themselves. Neat.

   Hitech, I've been an amateur programmer for 2 years. Could you explain what you mean by "More involved than you think". Even though I'm not familiar with your particular code, I sort of have an idea how it works, and I honestly can't see anything more than a few adjustments in the way of making the changes I mentioned. I don't mean to sound determined to have my way, I'm just curious by nature. Humour me.  
   
     Again, thanks.

here's something for every1 to think about.

If someone whines, and some1 complains about said whine, don't they become whiners themselves?



and raf, WTFH!! is that thing? a pony on steriods?

Just thought I'd add a little levity to this serious post.:D

I'd also like to see the plane tumbling down after the pilot bails.
(Watch plane fall in awe.. turn around, spray chute with 30mm :D)
