I thought the B-Wing gyros were in XWA.

we were able to do it in 1942 so i don't see why we can't do it now.

First off, I just gotta say the new update is fantastic and the models and textures are very well done. The A-wing's cockpit is particularly eye-catching. Great work everyone!

Okay, now for my inquiries. I was curious if the B-wing is still going to have it's gyroscopic stabilization system implemented into the game. That's the one major function LA has NEVER implemented in ANY Star Wars game featuring the B-wing, despite it being the ship's signature ability. It would be awesome to finally be able to use it.

But, can it be done? Basically, the cockpit would be the focal point and would remain level to the horizon (or the N/S planetary axis in space) while the rest of the craft rotates clockwise/counter clockwise around it. The cockpit would right itself while coming out of a loop or other advanced maneuvers, as well.

Another feature I think would be a great help in aiding in air/space combat would be to have the option to fix the camera behind the craft so when it rolls left/right, the camera would roll left/right with it. I don't know if this is a feature that's already been implemented into BF2142, but it would have been a big help in previous BF games.

I was also wondering what happened to our good buddy Schrifle? He was working on the BTL-A4 & S3 Y-wing models and was doing a great job. Both of us were working on the two seater BTL-S3 model back when I was apart of the team and it was coming along marvelously.
