...or NEW THINGS WE CAN MAKE WITH 1.7
We've had a few days now to mess around with 1.7 and I must say that I'm impressed so far. The new XML features will streamline the controls for my planes, the builder tools make it easier than ever before to make something beautiful and the new weapons and damage states look great. But what else is there? With all these new tools at our disposal, what can we do that we couldn't do before?
How about accurate bombsights that account for speed, altitude and wind? Or walkers that actually walk? What are your ideas, where can we go from here?
I really haven't been using 1.7 much to it's full extent beyond it's new weapons. I do have a fighter concept in the works though that i'm being lazy on but will eventually finish. Then idk.
@F104Deathtrap thnx for telling me.
@Milo1628xa It is still in beta, and IOS won't allow beta or mod releases, but it is available to android and Windows users in The Netherlands.
i haven't gotten the 1,7 version...i think it isnt released in The Netherlands yet...
@spefyjerbf Fair enough, looking forward to seeing them.
I do have a few exciting concepts that I will work on when the update comes out, but I want to keep them secret for now.
@destroyerP I spent about 4 hours working out part of the nose for my next bomber, and that required extensive use of the new builder tool. I also experimented with some of the new XML tags, very useful!
Do some experiments by messing around with the new features and parts
@InternationalAircraftCompany That's not too far from what they called it. A lot of their old interceptors used alcohol as coolant for onboard radar. Mig-21 had about 40 minutes worth of booze, and then you had to shut off the scope or it would overheat and damage the plane.
vodka jet @F104Deathtrap
@InternationalAircraftCompany What about their mach 3 interceptor that was made out of solid steel and ran on kerosene and alcohol?
Basically russian bias at its finest @Ihavenorealideawhatiamdoing
@GermanWarMachine <-- This guy gets it!
Oh ok@GermanWarMachine
Cool! @F104Deathtrap
@Ihavenorealideawhatiamdoing Soviet fighter-bomber from WW2, its entire belly and the underside of the wings were solid steel plating. Frightfully slow but almost completely bulletproof from below.
Never heard of it, but sure! @F104Deathtrap
@Ihavenorealideawhatiamdoing So basically, a Sturmovik. :D
Armored planes! Basically flying tanks, try to make the best plane you can that can take the most abuse in the air!
