you might not be able to do this however I think it would be cool if you could, anyway would it be possible to change maneuvering ability of a plane at different speeds? the maneuvering would be reduced and low and high speeds and maximized in the middle (called corner velocity -IRL it is specific to different planes, designs, and weights, this is the speed at which turning is best).  this way we don't get BF2 where the faster you go the faster you turn, and avoid the opposite.  Also please for the love of sports do not make gravity work both ways...again BF2 is a bitch here (accelerating at the same rate as diving when you are climbing).  Lastly are we able to include Energy?  For those who don't know what this is, a plane executes a 6G 60 degree banked turn, speed of the aircraft is reduced from 480 mph to 400 mph in the 6 second turn with thrust and altitude remaining constant, also simply, an aircraft dives and gains speed from 400 mph to 480 mph in 3 seconds.

P.S. I created a scout plane for a Supreme Commander Mech Warrior mod we where working on (since been scrapt)...I might not still have the file but if I do (and after retooling) do you guys accept models from new people like myself (of course if they are good enough to be worthy of this game also)?  a side note, it was created in Wings 3D if there is any program file transfer problems this might create.

Actually, somewhat...
To answer your question, I want to start by saying, thought the NUMBERS may make say that (and they are right) it doesn't necessarily mean that it will FEEL like that is happening. For example, though I've programmed several of the things you've mentioned, on the scale that a game like this runs (a combined arms game, not a flight combat game) it simply doesn't FEEL like that is happening (even when I know it is). For example, the other day we figured out that the current limit for speed in crysis is 100 m/s...which is roughly 400km/h...the areospace were flying this fast, and until we checked the numbers, it did NOT feel that fast. The big thing is, that as soon as your airborn and lose all points of referance, your speed is very difficult to discern visually.

Now, that being said, yes many of the features you are talking about I am personally working on right now. Banking/turning will cause slowdowns, and I even am working on a stall feature, where the vehicles are capable of going into a flat spin if turned too hard. If they turn too fast, they will not generate enough speed and will lose control as well as lift. At the moment, it feels a bit unnatural, because it feels more like a "sliding" effect (like skating sideways on ice) but I plan to put in rotational effects, as well as turbulance, so not only do you have more of an indicator of whats going on, but it also feels more real (and hopefully, is more fun).

Any other questions?

I think you could see that slide effect in the pre-alpha video footage by the way. Not sure if it's the one you are referring to though.

Can't wait to see a video of all those effects! Once you get it done be sure to post it in a  newsletter or the forum for us to see

Will Aerospace fighters legitimately have room to manuever?  Will they be able to reach higher altitudes than VTOLs?

My only question is: Were you guys always this awesome?

Well, at night you'll probably use light amplification mode. You may or may not use your marker lights. I don't know what we'll be doing with instrumentation quite yet though.

1) There will be a radar, though at the moment it's not implemented.
2) It's not a VTOL

really nice video. Nice flight through the city. I think we will enjoy the planes a lot if that's already the early stage. Can't wait to see the final product.
