Some fun with the ski jump with backward off the ski jump take offs and some roll backs.:joystick: 2 7 18 AV8B ski jump prac 2 crash.trk 2 7 18 AV8B ski jump prac 3 crash.trk
In VSTOL I find that there is a cushion and the effect is that if you lose it even out of ground effect the aircraft falls from the sky. When using thrust the effect out of ground effect is still very similar in behaviour. You can do some cool things with the cushion when doing aerobatics in VSTOL.
NATOPS is wrong the cushion exists in VTOL regardless of altitude and forms over time when the nozzles point down. So its a hover he's doing and there is a cushion underneath otherwise he would not be hovering..no cushion..no VTOL simple and the aircraft departs.:music_whistling:
No he's in VTOL mode, the roll is produced by the cushion under the aircraft if you push it slightly sideways it causes a roll which can be countered by the Harriers design which allows roll/pitch/yaw correction in hover.
No need to worry it will be a while before such AI exits on Earth in a capacity that people can know that the vehicles and equipment around them are sentient and capable of having a conversation with a person. AI tend to be into scifi in a big way.:D
Another thing there will be even more massive mp games because of AI possibly even as high as a trillion users in a sim.
