Tips and tricks for flying well

[SoLoD]

1. I do not have speedometer atm, but in a few days i will get it.
Aside "fastest" vehicles, always keep in mind that there are a lot of bugs for different vehicles, and some of them can give you some "speed bonuses". Like this one.

2. I am just wondering if it is possible in HYDRA to move forward, then do a maneuver, so you will fly AT THE SAME direction, this maneuver will not be "symmetrical" (in your tutorial you are showing "symmetrical" maneuver when you are going UP to perpendicular position) and you do not need to go UP, you just switching from forward flight to hovering and back to forward flight.

Wtf guys.. This is not a rocket science, just a shitty plane handlings in some video game. But yeah which makes it awesome is; it's hard to drive them in a best game of 2000's..

You mean like this? Or like this but upside down?

Flipping a Hydra into reverse using thrust vectoring

I tried what I thought you were talking about earlier- the going up, then to upside down. It's harder than I remembered, but mainly just because the controls are totally fucked up. Once you get used to it, I think it wouldn't be too bad.

[SoLoD]

Ye, i am talking about that maneuver. Because it looks like that you do not need to hold a symmetry to start moving backwards.

I was wondering if you'd ever show up here

I'm working on dogfighting videos at the moment and it doesn't have too much helicopter information, but I'm glad you approve.

Welcome to the forums- hope to see you in game!

[SoLoD]

I`ve found that maneuver.

He asked the impossible question that no one can answer. Vary Sampy.

The dogfight videos are still in progress-- I have to figure out what videos would be best for showing techniques. Anyone have something in particular that they'd like to see?
