dont know if this has been posted B4 but just incase.

i havent been playing the mod for long, and what i have played i LOVE

But when i got into the black hawk, it seemed very very fast for a copper!
we are talking jet speeds almost!
also it seemed a lil to sensitive.

thats all i have to say, Thx

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK

They go fast.

the speed is more or less realistic, its the acceleration thats not. We hope to improve on what we have for the in the future thou

The Black Hawk flies about 180 up to 190 knots depends on the weight.

The In-Game flightspeed indicator is not showing the real speed you're flying.

BTW Rhino I'd love to see that acceleration thing fixed

I guess its realistic that you cant use the rudder when you fly fast? I almost have to controll it like a jet if i wanna turn. Same with the Apache

you lose the ability to yaw at higher speeds yes. Not total, so small corrections are possible but to turn you need to bank

Its also a aerodynamical thing.

Example. The Black Hawk is designed aerodynamicaly (otherwise it won't fly) in flight-direction. Now lets imagine that it would be possible to apply a 90 degree turn in the z-axis. How aerodynamical is the BH when it is flying sidewards? Not very ... And now imagine that you could make a 90 degree turn while flying at fullspeed (about 180 and 190 knots) ... what will happen to your bird? CHRASH!

But IRL it is not possible to apply to much rudder at fullspeed so something like my example wont happen.
