Wing Sweep Options

[ancient geyser]

Seeing as the devs have taken the questionable decision to make wing sweep automatic, I must speak on behalf of the manual wing sweep enjoyers. I suggest the option to switch between automatic and manual wing sweep. The lazy weirdos can set it to auto for "realism" and the real plane enthusiasts (who know that actual realism would allow you to manually sweep them, just like in real life), can enjoy the ability to sweep the wings whenever they want without it feeling like an Ace Combat game. This would also be really nice for the photographers, who may want the wings to be swept for their photo, but not be travelling above mach 1.

Pros:

both parties are satisfied

the intended feature can be fully implemented without any major disruption

the devs need not be sacrificed to the Emperor of Webley

life continues as normal

Cons:

time must be spent actually implementing the toggle feature

that's really about it

[gray stream]

yeah they should have kept manual wing sweep an option

[ancient geyser]

ong

[gray stream]

they cooked with the automatic wing sweep besides that though

[tough silo]

Yes

[gray stream]

like it just feels weird not being able to manually control the wing when im flying my f-14 or b-1

[worthy comet]

was just thinking ab this the other day

take my

[quaint sluice]

shouldve seen that coming

[remote yarrow]

I think the automatic sweep should happen, but have a manual overdrive

like irl

[unkempt thicket]

i think this suggestion sucks

because im not lazy :(

sea salt 🧂

i need you sea salt

[ancient geyser]

I don't mean it literally lmao

well some maybe

[unkempt thicket]

ik im joking

i like this idea tho

[ancient geyser]

That's exactly what I'm suggesting my good sir

[unkempt thicket]

i like automatic sweep because i cant trust myself to time the sweep right

"is it before or after the boom?"

[remote yarrow]

o I thought you were suggesting that you could toggle between an option between having it and not

[unkempt thicket]

"how close before or after"

[ancient geyser]

well i mean sorta both

a toggle would be preferred tbh

If you guys dont wanna design a whole UI to toggle it, then an override would suffice ig

but toggle would be MUCH appreciated

[unkempt thicket]

i also like toggleable sweep because it looks cool when i go directly up

[ancient geyser]

guh

Deo for the win

[wet torrent]

we were doing a lil bit of experimenting so yeah

patience

[unkempt thicket]

so peak ❤️

[ancient geyser]

aight thanks devs

[gray stream]

ah makes sense

[unkempt thicket]

grassy ass devs

[ancient geyser]

the sacrifice is off

[unkempt thicket]

im james garfield

and i approve

[wet torrent]

itll probably be a button in the multifunction panel

a dedicated one

[ancient geyser]

Are you guys setting up for T and Y to have other funcitons in the future or are you just trying to clean up the functions

[wet torrent]

a bit of both tbh

[ancient geyser]

ooh

[wet torrent]

maybe in the future youll even be able to set keybinds for whatever buttons you want idk

early testing

[ancient geyser]

fire

[wet torrent]

right now Y and T are a bit of a mess and not really standardized so we gotta get that out of the way first

[ancient geyser]

makes sense

I remember the olden days when they toggled armament on fighters

or one of them did and the other was airbrake

[unkempt thicket]

that was many ages ago twin

[ancient geyser]

ong

like a thousand years

[worthy comet]

even better
