Can anyone decipher this into layman terms? Is this referring to modeling of slips?

Speed of the air across the wing and the effect it has

...which is a very good thing

Hi everibody!
Guys from the dev. team, please, check the view points in to the vehicles, and CHANGE the resolution of the textures with higher resolution, and make the 3D models of the handles, and ather features of the arms and vehicles ralistick as the same features in to the cockpits of the aircrafts.

Phisical model is great!

It is very srange when hit by bulet vehicle turns in to burned scrap immediately for the part of the seccond! I think, there have to be some middle phases of damage fire and destruction.
Thus way the current status of the damage model of ground objects is very poor...

I would like to say that this sim WILL RULE the NEXT 20 Years!

Regards!

If this is true then it's fantastic news. Have you seen footage where an aircraft loses a wing suddenly? - it spins violantly due to lift being created on one side only. We don't have this in CloD ATM.

This could also make behaviour more realistic when:

1. you lose a section of wing
2. enter an accelerated stall

Great stuff.

Did anyone notice anything different about the spitfire take off sequence? I figure it was included for a reason but I didn't notice anything new really - perhaps you've got to fly it and "feel" the difference?

[Sutts]

I've tried hard to get my sons interested in flying but no luck so far. With the addition of vehicle modelling this could change as they love things like BF 1942.

Can only be good for the sim to inject some new blood I reckon. And there will be folk who cross over to aircraft in this way.

This is what happens when you lose half a wing.

Duxford Flying Legends (Sunday show) 2011, the one that didn't crash lost the wing

Here a better pic, its not half wing but yeah, he managed to land with this damage :

this one is an example of making it home with extreme wing damage, not all significant wing surface damage results in an instant and complete loss of control



note: afaik no carrier landing was attempted however, they ditched in the water once they reached the carrier taskforce
