Suggesting to devs

[Adonai Rifki]

First, allow me to say that this is my first post, and so far I am enjoying the community. Secondly, I have read up to page 18 currently, and I am continueing to read on. But I needed to post my suggestions before I forgot them a third time. So if this has already been said a couple times prior, I give you my apologies.

Objective of Arena Mode is for friends to take off from the main airfield and rid the skies of all Germans, and destroy all the enemy bases. Players are limited by fuel, and ammo so cooperation among teamates is critical to survive, in order to refuel and rearm, players simply land at a friendly base and re-up, then take off and get back into the fight.

Simulation Control Scheme OPTION
RS-looking around
LS-Pitch/Roll
LB-Throttle Down
RB-Throttle Up
RT-Yaw Right
LT-Yaw Left
A-Guns
B-Bombs
X-Rockets
Y-Zoom
Dpad Left-Landing Gear Up/Down
Dpad Right-Map
Dpad Up-Command menu .......at which point UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT on the dpad will determine wingman commands
Dpad Down- Bail Out

I think someone might of been playing Over-G for the xbox [or whatever it was called under the original name]


Suggestion for the controls, to be added on. The R3 button, could function as the "track target" as well. Just moving it around would allow players the ability to look, while clicking it down would allow the tracking. And perhaps to allow the zoom, have it so that when an aircraft is centered relativly infront of you, it will automatically zoom in.


As for someone else's post about R1 and L1 being eject [or something along those lines]. I would suggest keeping it as the D-pad down, while making L2, and R2, the brake ability. Or possibly, a Chromehounds inspired suggestion. Holding down the select button for 3-5 seconds, could function as the eject.



Now, for the repeated belly landings, subject. I have a solution that might be able to influence score/points, and the landing issue. In the game Metal Gear Solid [online], you are awarded points for stunning enemies, or killing them. Why not have it so that a kill would result in a +2 point increase for your teams score, and give the killed pilot a 5 second respawn or something along those lines. While just downing a pilot [Either by belly landing, or him ejecting] Will give your team a +1, but allow the shot down pilot either an immediate, or shortened respawn... It would also give some incentive for pilots to try and eject, rather then being killed.


And unfortunately I forgot my previous suggestions, so I will probably make a second message later... Anyways, thank you all for taking the time out of your day's to read my message, and I wish you all a good day.




-Edit- Just a little addition... part of the reason I want the belly landing is because some friends and I would attempt to go bob-sledding down a mountain in the Russian bombers [the ones that looked like boats]. We just found it highly entertaining, to cut throttle, land on the slope of a mountain, and to try and slide our way to the bottom without crashing.

OK, this thread is clearly very popular and bloated, but I thought I'd throw my suggestion onto the stack!

I'm unaware of whether custom button mapping will be included so if it is, I apologise. If not, can we please swap Rudder and Throttle about on Aviator layout? I'd prefer more accurate analogue rudder, and a toggle throttle; that is, I hold R1 until it reaches 90%, I let go and it remains at 90%.

Also, the planes do seem to blow up very easily. I mean, at 30mph, would a plane really explode like that? OK, occasionally they are heavy so there's a fair bit of force at 30mph, and there's likely to be a fire etc, but I've seen so many planes go up whilst trying to slow down from that wretched 31mph!

Seriously, almost perfect game so far, but trying to slow your plane down below 31mph is near impossible using aviator controls. even holding throttle at a constant say 19%, slowly clocks down 1mph every say 500 yards, but suddenly, at 30mph, BAM! you're over? Is it auto braking or something?

I understand I'm basing this on the demo which doesn't necessarily represent the final game. So again, apologies if button mapping will be included.

Thanks

My thoughts:

1. Fix the gear brakes on the flight sticks

2. Fix the flip glitch on the sim landings

3. Controll editor for gamepad users

Otherwise I think everything else is perfect. Thanks again for listening Anton!
