Sketch Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Super and VF-19 Kai are out. The way that guy pumps out fighters he got to have no life whatsoever. I was really happy to see that he included the VF-19P in this last release. Of all the RSS feeds I subscribe to, his is the one that I look forward to the most. Also the VF-19F and S from Macross 7 are going to be in his next release. He is also working on the AIF-9V (Macross Galaxy), and AIF-7S (NUNS & SMS) Ghosts for a near term release. His next ground-up fighters are going to be the VF-1 and the YF-21/VF-22. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sketch Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 The VF-19F and S that came out in this release are just awesome. The VF-24 is really well done too, Impulse just posted an impressive video of it in action; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ss0lV_aiFkk Now someone just needs to make an ice world trench run map...

DarkReaper Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Yeah physics are screwed in this release. They stall everytime you get into a few negative g. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sketch Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 I hate how bad they handle, though... Really? I just spent the last half hour playing around making smoke trails with some 4ch guys on a VFX server. I love how they handle, although admittedly, the VF-19A & F aren't quite as snappy as their canard-having siblings and do seem to have some wierd stall recovery issues with the Super Packs.

Too damn much over-maneuvering. You pull back, you SHOULD go in an arc. Instead, you flip 0-axis and are carried halfway across the map by momentum.

Instead, you flip 0-axis and are carried halfway across the map by momentum. It allows you to fly the fighters as they are depicted in the anime, once you get used to it they handle phenomenally well. I took on two AI Ghosts in a VF-19P last night and managed to knock them both out of the sky. Also, you can pull back and fly in an arc, just don't reef on the stick for normal maneuvering, controllers are analog for a reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IAD Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 I agree with Sketch, with the thrust vector travel and thrust numbers on these things, realistically, they would definitely tend to pivot, more than arc, in a hard pull-up. Personally, I like it. Very Macross-y. ~Luke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkReaper Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 (edited) Yeah, but when you do a flip you instantly go from Mach 5 to 0 in one flip. Which is somewhat annoying losing all speed just because you went one ° over max AoA. Also even with throttle at 0 and in a stall, the vectoring can still somehow flip you around just as if you were afterburning (unless those are simulated verniers working). I guess thats the limitations of YSflight. Edited March 9, 2009 by DarkReaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchizophrenicMC Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 It lacks a proper physics engine. If it had one, you wouldn't just flip straight over. Even in Mac0, that didn't happen. Your plane will tend to nose down. I mean, unless you have a super pack on. And I just don't like how easily the planes stall out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkReaper Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Yeah, in canon the limiter and fly-by-wire probably keeps them from going over max AoA. Sort of like how you have to push a button in the Su-27 to remove the limiter and do a cobra. Seems like we are flying the VFs in space mode in an atmosphere and thats just not efficient.

Sketch Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 I quite like the physics as-is. Look at Isamu's skywriting scene in episode 2 of Macross Plus; the VFX fighters can fly like that. Good times.

And I know the F-22 is capable of pulling at least 26G in a top-speed turn. And that brings me to the VF-1. Looking at everything it has, it should be able to outmaneuver an F-22, which has a control limiter... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sketch Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 (edited) Had a great flying session the other night with another player. No combat, just a lot of aerobatics, awesome smoke trails, skydiving and chasing each other around. Edited March 11, 2009 by Sketch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dizman Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Hmmmm I think that was me, that was quite fun making smoke vortexes and constantly crashing trying to pull off an extra flip in the VF-19 5 feet from the ground . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah dude, I was using the handle SuperOstrich. I've been leaving the server on as often as I can with a 3 hour reset. What I can't figure out is how to record network flights, I enabled the server record option, but I can't figure out of the life of me where it outputs to.

edwin3060 Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Damn! That is an impressive YF-24. SK should really do all these aircraft promotional videos ala company advertisements. They are short, sweet and can boost interest in Macross! Quick question, is the shinsei industries logo official, or just a modification of the LM logo?
