Seeing as VTOL aircraft can get out of a 'flipped situation', would it be possible to disable flip-kill for them, and not all vehicles server-side?

You can Rotate the orca after it reached a specific rotation serverside

...or you could just block the server from destroying it Wink
I'd imagine the TT team have already cloned the specific functions anyway so it wouldn't be very difficult for them to add it. It all depends on whether it is needed to be implimented or not.

Actually, we haven't. If we will, we will probably add that though, unless someone has some reason not to.

It would be better for it to have a self-righting mechanism instead. Although, definitely not in the way madrocks suggested as that would be very choppy and look like crap.

Indeed, just disable the killing for flying vehicles.

It is a balancing issue. And obviously the same would have to be done for the apache.

If that was done, it'd make those units more powerful as you wouldn't have to worry about them flipping. Or rather, you wouldn't need to pay attention to the fact that your orca/apache has flipped when you're repairing it and there's a ramjet firing at it, too. Basically it could mean that the orca/apache gets away more easily in situations like those - where currently they'd be destroyed.

I don't think I'd mind it being altered. (not saying fixed, as it's not neccessarily an issue)

If it is optional, there's no reason to complain.

Flipping when landing is only a small, small reason why helicopters flipped I've flipped for countless different reasons and most of the time were mid-flight.

Fix it.

The jet in RP2 used to be able to barrel roll, but the flip kill thing caused it to explode randomly. Sad

Random explosions are a good reason to use the Sad smiley.

My orca/apache has flipped due to lag or the crappy physics before now, I don't like losing $900 investments to the engine or a shaky connection, fix it.

No, because VTOLs automatically rotate themselves when they flip upside down too much.

But they don't do that if you're not in them and the slightest bit of lag can cause them to flip whilst you're trying to repair them... Sad

Speaking of this... APB has fixed-wing aircraft that can roll and do the stuff a real fixed-wing aircraft can do, so I suppose that has something to do with the flip-kill thing.

Not that hard to see why: you're American and most servers are based in the USA. Carrier and others here are from Europe and have more lag issues on US based servers.
