Holy Old Thread Resurection Batman!!!
We hadn't planned on it. Well, we did originally, but simplified it in the intrest of flyability over features. As I said, we're not a simulator. Everything is a rough approximation of the real world but we are actually simplifying things alot to keep from having an excessively steep learning curve, not to mention get the game out on time.

hehe more questions!!! well anyway...I know we touched on this earlier and its not a flight sim and all but regarding to angle of attack...will I be able to screw up my angle of attack in the devious ways that I do and from that turn my plane into a flying brick to quickly slow down the plane? or if not even more simple way to do it...will there be an air brake?

Drag is calculated using real world equations. We've plugged in numbers that give the plane flight characteristics we've wanted roughly. There will probably be an air brake put in later but I think they work pretty well right now, so that will wait until we complete alpha and move to beta.

Looks like they are grilling you like crazy Toe  Anyways i was curious to put this out cause i couldn't find it in the forums. I know someone had a joystick that they had rigged into Crysis, i was curious to talk to them a bit more about what they did to put it in. In the mean time too i'm going to contact the guys that created Wiisis where they intergrated the WII controller into the engine. If they can do that i don't see why we can't add the stupid joystick Will happen WAY later but its important to alot of guys i'm fairly certain. |

Cry-Volk is already someone I'm talking to. Seiko does stuff like that for a living and will be the one implementing joystick support in a few months as long as I can keep keeping the programmers on schedule and don't get any mutanies (I'd like to keep my perfect record of not having had to shoot any mutaneers  ). Anyway, we've got the input system licked and adding a new input device shouldn't be too bad, since you ask. As I've already said on the forum, it should be done by beta but is a low prority for now since I think properly working vehicles are more important. |

Of course, was just popping the question so to speak. |

I know joy sticks like mine...X-52 can basically be programed into anything...I could even use it as a keyboard and mouse...so its probably something to do with mapping inputs together...I know zilcho about this though just throwing that one in the water and seeing what bites it.  |

Pretty much how Crysis handles the inputs too. You tie an input to trigger an input event, then you can tie the input event to one or more action events, which then ties to a piece of code that does something usefull, like changes a specific bit in memory or calls another function or... well, some other boring stuff that results in something cool happening. |

Unfortunately my joystick is older than that. I still use a Sidewinder Force Feedback 2. I don't care if the forces are used I'd be happy to just have it work with MWLL. |

Well according to my field trials it'll blow through 3/4" plate steel at 300 yards no problem. Also it'll cause ground hogs to explode at over a mile.

Yeah well playing by bf2 rules gives us more of a chance to escape. D: |
