Flyby Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 Just a quick question about the pilots pov. Does it change slightly to reflect how gravity, inertia and other flight forces act upon the pilot? Just asking. Flyby out The U.S. Congress is the best governing body that BIG money can buy. :cry:

Flyby Posted July 23, 2008 Author Posted July 23, 2008 hey EB... thanks EB. I don't know how I missed that. Also I guess my search of the FAQ was inadequate. Good stuff though, and a nice touch.:thumbup: Flyby out The U.S. Congress is the best governing body that BIG money can buy. :cry:
Tango Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 All of these are optional and can be turned on/off in-game while flying. That's excellent! I tried to get LO:MAC the other day but everywhere had sold out. :( I hope the effect is better than the MS attempt in FSX! Best regards, Tango.

Grimes Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 Question kinda related to pilot view.... will G's factor into the degree in which a pilot can move their head? ala, the greater G's the less the pilot look around as it becomes harder and requires more muscle strength to move your head. Probably something to consider abit down the line when we get fast movers or other aircraft that can sustain great amount of G's for maneuverability. The right man in the wrong place makes all the difference in the world.

Rhino4 Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 Black Shark still uses the cockpit jiggle effect and the "natural head motion" effect as seen in LO. In addition, there is an added head roll effect, where the pilot rolls his head automatically to compensate for aircraft roll. All of these are optional and can be turned on/off in-game while flying. As I remember it, these views in lock on were not compatible with trackir. So when you turned them on, your head started doing the roll left roll right movement, but you lost the ability to look around with trackir if you wanted. Has this been fixed for BS? Can you have an automatic head roll and still look around with trackir at the same time, or is it like you said "as seen in LO"?
ED Team Glowing_Amraam Posted July 25, 2008 ED Team Posted July 25, 2008 You can turn the Ka50 to a 90 degree turn and you can still look at the horizon in a straight line just by tilting your head, and you can still look around. :) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgJRhtnqA-67pKmQ3A2GsgA ED youtube channel https://www.facebook.com/glowingamraam My facebook page
Flyby Posted July 25, 2008 Author Posted July 25, 2008 I can see it now... I foresee a fun competition ala the RedBull Air Races with the pylons. Same flight routine, but using the Black Shark. Imagine the pilots' views when whipping through the slaloms, then pulling up and over to do it again from the oposite direction! All the while trying to get the best course time. Hey! It might be fun! :D I'd love to see how the head movement might be implemented there. But not at the expense of Tract-IR performance. ;) Flyby out The U.S. Congress is the best governing body that BIG money can buy. :cry:
GGTharos Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 ^^^^ I foresee loads of wrecks in those races ... [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda
Flyby Posted July 25, 2008 Author Posted July 25, 2008 wait one, GGT... It might not be so bad. In IL2 on hyperlobby someone was (is?) always hosting an air race. With the fabled agility of the Ka50, this would be a chance for pilots to strut their stuff. Accidents might be minimalized by simply racing the clock, not one another. But racing one another through pylons might be a blast too. This idea might gain more traction after BS is released. It might be a fun way to practice controlling the chopper for the time when wild and extreme evasive action is required in a combat zone. Hey, it could happen!:music_whistling: Flyby out 1 The U.S. Congress is the best governing body that BIG money can buy. :cry:
sobek Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 [...] might be a blast too. Especially with that 30mm gun enabled :lol: Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two. Come let's eat grandpa! Use punctuation, save lives!
159th_Viper Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 I foresee a fun competition ala the RedBull Air Races.......

Flyby Posted July 25, 2008 Author Posted July 25, 2008 sobek, that's just sick!:megalol: Not sure I want to be in the lead in a race with you! Hey Viper, racing through a city sounds like a plan to me!:thumbup: The U.S. Congress is the best governing body that BIG money can buy. :cry:
GGTharos Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 Yes, I agree. What I mean to say is, flying under powerlines will end up with a lot of people causing powerline rotorstrike (fatal) or tower strike (also fatal) ... so ... lots of wrecks :D And really, evasive action in a chopper ... is prevention. If you have to evade, consider yourself lucky to survive if you do manage it. Agility is pretty meaningless if you don't have the acceleration of speed to vacate datum in time.

Flyby Posted July 25, 2008 Author Posted July 25, 2008 rgrt GGT no matter how you slice it, combat or air racing, tossing the Ka50 about in violent manuevers ought to be a real blast! I just hope I do't pull so hard I encounter a blade-on-blade collision. Wheeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!:D Flyby out The U.S. Congress is the best governing body that BIG money can buy. :cry:
-sulan- Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 I remember that IL-2 airrace server, it was alot of fun.. Never thought of doing it in DCS though, has got to be a blast!! :thumbup:
