EscCtrl Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 ok ive never played this game (let alone heard of it) and it might be the worst flight modelled game ever but still the atmosphere created by having crew on the carrier deck and air traffic looks great in my opinion - hopefully in a few years ED will have the tech to do this alongside an awesome flight model http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3VeVLbUWGrs&mode=related&search= game is called 'Over G Fighters' on Xbox 360 apparently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Force_Feedback Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 It also has water shockwaves, long thought impossible today by ED :p As wing vortex vapor. Creedence Clearwater Revival:worthy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EscCtrl Posted August 9, 2006 Author Share Posted August 9, 2006 Yeah I know! if they can do a dust trail on the ground surely they can have a modified water wake - and even though some people dont believe it happens it does when the jet is pointed into the water at close proximity say when pulling up from a very low altitidue run.

Solidburn Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Doesn't IL2 have that water effect? and those are props ;) "I know Not that which you have said, but if I had medication I would (Robin Williams)" [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EscCtrl Posted August 9, 2006 Author Share Posted August 9, 2006 exactly - and you can get jet boats too and last time i looked the jet wasnt angled that far into the water either I still think you would have to fly very low to get much of splash - even when choppers fly at 100ft its not that noticable as i found this summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starlight Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 it does model the Tomcat, and that's already a great thing for a flight sim! it seems a bit cartoonish (aircraft as low as one feet ASL, jet exhaust deflectors too close to the aircraft on the cat...) but it has good ideas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EscCtrl Posted August 9, 2006 Author Share Posted August 9, 2006 how is aircraft as low as 1ft ASL (at sea level yes?) unrealistic? I thought they proved ground effect not be able to stop an aircraft flrying lower? I have seen videos that show jets fly at only a few feet above the ground.

Crusty Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 parts of that look fantastic,....as for the wake, considering how silly low it was, I dont think the water wake effect was at all overdone oo err...missus:animals_bunny: ** Anti-Pastie** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its how many times you can do it on a given flight without ending up as fish food where the problem comes in. ;) Unlike land, the surface of the water is constantly moving up and down, and that can end your life pretty quickly on any given day. That being said, however, I do like the video. It wouldn't necessarily have to be quite that low to leave a short rooster tail, that would happen if it were slightly higher and pitched up. I notice they don't show the depression in the water caused by wake turbulence though. As I think Thomas was implying, extra eye-candy you won't normally see in the pit is just going to eat up extra CPU cycles anyway. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agg Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Yeah it does look pretty cool, but I would much rather have more, and better, vapor-effects... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pschelchshorn Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 at the alt the f-14 is flying and at that speed there should be even more water being ruptured. Even at level flight the aircraft pushes a wall of air infront of it, especially during near supersonic speed, you will see something like the wake waves of a boat but the boat isnt actually there..

Well said man!! you're right, it's a shame we don't have a cool sim on the most beautiful and famous jet fighter in the world... I would pay lot of bucks for that...! Robbie.
