Can't wait for 3.5! Arccorp and the new flight model!

[Montoya]

Im not holding my breath that they actually finished Area 18 by Q1 2019, but that along with the new flight model is going to open up some great atmospheric dog fighting game play we have not had before.

Im seeing a lot of you in discord spending a lot of time around Jumptown!

If you know a good way to generate power from salt, then 3.5 is gonna make you a jillion-aire!

You make a great point, the people who want to dogfight like a WW2 sim will love atmospheric flight & dogfighting there, I'm hoping that dogfighting in space is different (but NOT jousting).

I've been holding off playing until the new flight model is in.

A few more months, I hope!

 

[Kiladyn]

I'm just excited about everything they are doing!

I’m trepidatious having actually become competent with the current model. My concern is around throttle control - right now I use twin sticks so throttle is a slider. With the new model I suspect I’m going to need to buy pedals and move throttle response to them?

I'm waiting for my Titan suits.

You could do that I suppose. I don't use dual stick, I use just one, and a throttle with additional controls or just the keyboard and one stick. If I had foot pedals, they'd be for rudder control, but that's just me. the dual stick doesn't set up the way I think of flight.

I'm dual stick and don't have a slider for throttle control. I use a button for 100% and a button for 0% throttle. Works well enough. And when I need more precision I'm just using the thrusters.

I'm waiting for my full npc crew.

 

[Kiladyn]

Who needs NPCs when you can have drunken fools?!?!?

 

[MonsterNeal]

I am looking forward to it as well

Give me Vanduul Stinger instead.

Hopefully we'll see some salvage mechanics come online throughout the next 3 months in AtV, considering it was pushed from 3.2 to 3.5, I've been teased too much

same. I used my new hotas setup once and realized that I would probably end up with habits I'd just have to work on unlearning in a little while anyway

 

[Printimus]

I am much of the excite.

 

[Deroth]

I use dual sticks, I have buttons for 100% and 0% for routine flight and left Z rotation bound for precision throttle.

 

[Talonsbane]

In 3.5 I'm looking forward to them releasing the female avatars for the players that want to use them as well as the new character facial options so that each of us can feel unique to a degree. I believe that the introduction of the female avatars will help encourage lady players to becoming more interested in backing if they are currently on the fence. More backers joining will be good for the game long term.

looking forward to the flight model too! i like my freelancer mis so much i'm actually thinking of adding a max. gotta be patient though cause the flight model could change everything :/
