Title: Flight model - is it similar to Diaspora?
Post by: WheelSpin on June 28, 2014, 02:45:33 pm

Just asking.  I'm perusing vids that date '09, & the flight mechanics looks like std atmospheric model flight behavior.  Is there a 'glide' mode similar to what has been implemented in Diaspora?

Yes, on some ships, but it's much more "rough" than Diaspora. TBP is much older.

For which ships (or races) is it implemented, & basically how off the mark is it from Diaspora?

Starfuries, not sure about others. I'd say, just play this, you'll see. The flight model is not as advanced as Diaspora, but it's mostly fine. There are side thrusters, gliding and all, it's just that it's older.

That'll work.  Hope that goes for the Thunderbolts also.
