Title: Glide
Post by: CT27 on August 05, 2012, 03:31:48 am

I saw part of a Youtube playthrough of the game and this guy was using something called "glide" during the Excalibur missions.  I just got to those myself, how do I use the 'glide' feature?  Apparently it helps save afterburner.

Idk about this mod but the default is alt-g

What he said. Both the Arrow and the Excalibur are glide-capable. However, since you tend to use gliding (alt+g) in conjuction with your afterburner (tab), I recommend rebinding gliding to something less alt-tabby. For instance, I rebinded gliding to 'g' and target target's attacker to 'alt-g'.

Gliding is also great to evade missiles and gunfire, especially in the Excalibur.

Gliding also saves a lot of afterburner fuel.

Kick in the Afterburner, go on full speed then start the Glide = cruise with 1200 speeeeed :D
