AI ability

Hi,

Early days I was going online to get my kicks in the stang. Everyone is new so its pretty easy to be a steely eyed killing machine. Now I cant get on online so have had to mix it with the AI. Oh dear!

Are they modeled correctly? or do I just need to up my game a bit? He certainly seems to make no mistakes (actually he has dived into the sea a couple of times, and also a few stall/spin, but maybe the latter was intentional) Alternatively is my 'stang modeled correctly? I realise its beta! it bucks, stalls and spins at the first sign of a turn at 20k. Meanwhile the AI is pulling into chandeles as if he is a Mig29 in disguise. Whats the deal?

 

Yeah I should probably search...

Try a bit of flaps when dogfighting (combat flaps) stops it bucking and power stalling as quickly, you get a lot more warning.

Thanks Timmy I will try it, but doesn't seem right to me; I dont know what the flap limiting speed is but Im sure Im trying to turn way above that, and I doubt the extra drag from the flap is going to help me to suddenly catch up with the AI.
