Scimitar

Quote:

Maximum speed 80 kph

im really weary about suggesting this because of the DEV trip to bovington and the fact one of the DEV's worked/works in these IIRC... but bugger it.

I think, from what I've seen the Scimitar is slightly slower than the Warrior in PR. It should be the other way round according to (ugh) Wikipedia.

+1

Scimitar needs a speed up for sure...

Brummy · 01-29-2008, 01:15 PM

x2

It's slower than the warrior

[R-DEV]Rhino · 01-29-2008, 01:23 PM

ye, dunno why it didn't get tweaked, was saying it ages before release, just one of thous things that are low priority on the coding tasks I guess

How the hell is one value a low priority?!?!

It takes seconds to change!

The easy things like that should be high priority because of the number that can be done and the ease of it.

Sounds like a challenge jonny...

I would've thought it'd be one number, surely the Max speed but i don't know jack about coding or anything to do with mucking around with that stuff.

a tiny little quote of the engine settings on the scimitar, and I mean tiny, and this is not even taking into account the mass, drag and all the settings like that which ALL have a effect on its top speed, how it handels etc.

Code:

ObjectTemplate.setMinRotation -1/0/-1
ObjectTemplate.setMaxRotation 1/0/1
ObjectTemplate.setMaxSpeed 2/0/20
ObjectTemplate.setAcceleration 50/0/10
ObjectTemplate.setInputToYaw PIYaw
ObjectTemplate.setInputToRoll PIThrottle
ObjectTemplate.setAutomaticReset 1
ObjectTemplate.setEngineType c_ETTank
ObjectTemplate.setTorque 4
ObjectTemplate.setDifferential 13.8
ObjectTemplate.setGearUp 0.95
ObjectTemplate.setGearDown 0.45
ObjectTemplate.setGearChangeTime 0.1
ObjectTemplate.trackTurnAcceleration 30
ObjectTemplate.trackTurnSpeed 0.85
