Does Renegade multiply gravity scale by 9.8 or 4.5 if neither is Gravity scale the gravitational force by itself?

1 = low gravity
5 = high gravity

2.5 is about average.

I don't know anything about multipliers though. I try to make it simple.

AFAIK, Renegade does not use a *unified* gravity equation. Every unit has it's own gravity value and that value defines the behavior of the unit in the game. If i can recall correctly - that's how we made jumpjet infantry in the past - give the soldier a huge (or was it low? Huh ) value and when jumping, the soldier will stay in mid-air for some time.

I don't remember what the gravity scale was in leveledit, but i think you should follow OWA's advice here Smile

It was low.
Dang that makes it more difficult for Artillery projectile calculations.

I am talking about projectiles.

Every projectile has its own gravity too. You can set it in leveledit. Like the settings of characters. I think its possible in some way what you want.

But thats not what I'm asking, I'm asking what the scale is multiplied by.

There is no written scale as such, just test it until you find the right value.
