Give her some room to take off.


Because of my current status on BL forums, I will be unable to answer questions directly. So I will try my best to address them here.

<Generic bug complaint>

A good console log would help me fix this issue

Elaborating on locking missiles...

When you switch to missiles, the jet will constantly check for vehicles and players in the forward direction. It does this by creating a line of containers. When the jet finds a target, it will set the target as a potential target and count down until it reaches a full lock. Once the fully locked the pilot will be allowed to fire the missiles but the target must be within the forward field of view to retain the lock. On the topic of the flare code, the F18 missile is the only projectile compatible. When the rocket is fired, it constantly checks for a flare projectile that is in its radius container. Currently, the f18 flare is compatible with the f18 missile.


Notes:
If there are bugs, please bring it to my attention. Providing a console.log of the incident will give me more information than "i can't switch weapons"
The console log can be found in your main blockland folder.
Feel free to use any part of the script! You can also ask me anything when I'm online(RTB).

Your computer is seriously tripping out then. That's like, the second comment I've seen where you say that. And that's with two different add-ons.

dillman99
Awsome! Now make an AC-130!
Checko2100
Dillman he already did
Thanks for the sick jet im going to useing this for my Dogfight :)

Neato, an update. What is it?
The afterburners should be replaced by flaps, the plane flies way to fast anyway, doesnt need to fly faster, but what it does need is a way to slow down.
@Posh I don't think it should, I personally like the afterburners. Besides, the A-10 already has flaps, we should leave it at that. Very nice vehicle though, 10/10.

The hyper-realism would be nice if it wasn't that the fog distance was always 2 feet in front of you.

And in Flight Simulator I can see the entire, REAL LIFE area of Hawaii and it's got graphics 5x better than Blockland
eriktraps2
Not sure if its just on the server i was at, but when you hold down space for too long, it bumps you downward, like your stalling.
pooman
Possibly nose stall
Blockster101
Once I was in a dogfight and they went up and when i followed them my plane stalled and fell out of the sky so i give it a : 9/10
Gytyyhgfffff
@Blockster101
That happens in real life, and is in the Blockland physics engine
