rename jets to "rockets whit wings"..

Post by the other Steve »

becouse they fly as if they were one.
its easy to undestand if you played FH2 or other mods or even vanilla.

currently the PR jets have absolutly no change of direction or speed when rolling. the only way to make a curve is to roll, and then fly UP, maybe this is realistic, but it feels wrong.

easy suggestion:

when rolling to the left, make a left curve. same via versa. it shouldnt be much, just to make longish turns to return to the target/runway. and to eliminate this awkward feel on flying.

im sorry for the sarcastic title, but i hoped it could drag some attencion.

That's exactly how they should handle, IMHO.

ok, hmm, but still. maybe it is realistic, but to say there isnt any effect IRL wouldnt be right either.
if this was true, all planes could fly upside down or at a 90 degree angle whitout changing course and speed... how realistic!

planes fly becouse the air under its wings pushes the plane up. (said short and unprecisely.
so, this effect is the core part of planes, and it works when the wings are tilted. so if a plane make a curve, he has already this "pulling the stick up" effect. this is what i mean whit a soft, large curve.
well, im not saying this abouve is all right, but it isnt completely wrong, and to remind you i have only the idea of propeller planes (WW2, chessnas.) or large jets, (boing 747), but not the combat jets, maybe they are rockets..

When you perform a bank turn in a plane, you roll the plane to the side and pull up. The force that would normally cause you to pitch up is applied in the horizontal direction, thus making you turn.

If you don't understand how planes actually work, please refrain from making suggestions to change them.

Essentially, jets ARE rockets with wings.

planes flying has nothing to do with hot and cold air. thats gliders. its (probably get wrong way round) fast air over top , slow air underneath, pressure difference = lift

This.


I dont know what else you want... heh...

And the earlier comment about turning and applying the would be vertical force to move horizontally...


And how planes pretty much are rockets with wings...


So... yeah?

Its the bf2engine that makes the flying stupid. No gravity for planes.
