Post by: Fury on August 10, 2004, 03:56:16 am: Err, what? You mean sliding?

Maybe when its been made fully functional in fs2_open. As far as I know, AI does not know how to handle it properly and controls are still hardcoded.

I haven't researched into this matter personally so correct me if I am wrong.

Incorrect. One, the AI is incredibly hard with sliding, they know how to handle the extra axeses (axi?).
Two the SCP did fix it so that you can change the controls. They're under ship, and listed as thrust up, thrust down, thrust right, and thrust left. I have mine bound to WASD.

Add the "cycle" tag to the weapon ;)

Now thruster effects to show that and it would be perfect.

yeah but then it is fixed on cycle

need to be able to swap between cycle and not-cycle at will, preferably with any gun on any ship.

Post by: Edwin on August 12, 2004, 06:19:43 pm: ok, now it seems as if he is refering to strafing.... if that is the case and you want to increase strafing speed just change it in the ships.tbl file.

Post by: Slasher on August 18, 2004, 07:33:02 am: The SF Maras can be seen sliding on occassion.

Unfortunately wingmen seem to have a hard enough time just maneuvering in formation. Give them the ability to slide and we will all really, really, really be sorry.

Post by: KillMeNow on August 18, 2004, 02:58:36 pm: he wants to bank the craft as in pitch yaw and bank - in other words he the ose the 7 and 9 keey to bank the craft on its axis without altering its course but at present it banks to slowly in can your speed up the roll rate of the fury

or perhaps i missed the point enterily but tahts what his question screams to me

Post by: LOKO on August 18, 2004, 08:32:17 pm: KillMeNow is correct but I think now I would just like this subject to be deleted, it embarrasses me so can someone delete this whole subject.

LOKO grabs a gun and points it at his head and will go loko if demands are not met.
