Youtube tutorial - How to land an ASF without crashing in 0.4.3
« on: January 11, 2011, 03:01:27 AM »
I just finished publishing this short tutorial video to help those who are having an issue with landing their Aerospace Fighter (ASF) without crashing...

I didn't record sound to make the video smaller, so if anyone cares to make a better one, by all means do it ;)

Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErbZWMVxEOY

How possible is it on Kagoshima though?

I've been able to land pretty well in all maps except that one. The runway up top doesn't allow for repairs.

No that map is heavily flawed for that very reason. I think it was designed with the idea that you could repair on the runway. There is NO WAY to bring your ASF safely into the repair hangar on that map, just NO way. They have to add a repair area on the top-side runway.

What's asf?



Sure it felt different but so did my wife after the kids were born. A little loose but it still gets me off every time. -- Suspect

 It would be very useful for inexperienced pilots, thanks man!

I've seen it done, multiple times at that.

I really don't see how you can safely land anything in the hangar bays on that map... It might be possible if you get the perfect angle and start your descent at the perfect moment and cut the engine at the right time, but it's not meant for landings period. You're not SUPPOSED to land there, so nothing is on your side if you try... that's why there's a runway top-side.

I think the map was designed prior to 0.4.0 and while it was still possible to repair on the runway. The fix would be rather easy, just make a sort of passage an ASF could use to get to the hangar from the top-side runway. Either a sort of elevator like on aircraft carriers, or a light slope at the end of the runway that lead to the hangars.

Tbh it would be easily fixed if they just extended runways out the front of the building, but it is doable, just think alternate carrier landings in flight sims, slow and low.

I'll have to try this out.

Looks like you still take a little bit of damage, which could be a problem if extremely damaged.

I did... and it's still very very hard and not meant to be done, even though obviously POSSIBLE. I would be curious to see the amount of damage the guy took on each landing though. During my practice, even on flat runways, it didn't take much at all to make the nose all orange... costing precious cbills to repair everytime.

But yeah, as Bill said, they could easily fix that by extending the lower runway a little...

Cool, thanks for the video! I've had a hell of a time landing aeros since 0.3 (and even then I wasn't very good). Now I can land like 50% of the time without taking any damage. The rest of the time I crash and burn. Still better than 0% though!
