Re: Help with aerodynamics

Since this is a game, most of the realistic parts of flying are thrown out the window. Wind resistance and weight of the vehicle probably dont matter that much, I don't even think there is a game engine let alone a commercial computer capable of running thousands of calculations just for flying the craft at once, plus everything else. Its just its so limited right now with engines and the capabilities of technology of making a totally realistic game. But then again I could be wrong. hmm

Are you familiar with how to code vehicles for Battlefield by any chance?

Re: Help with aerodynamics

Great offer, but most games don't use realistic physics. (See I even spelt it right!)
