Changes to armored aircraft behavior
Hello everyone!
For two weeks now we have been conquering the skies in the “Sky Raiders” update, and such an important mechanic as flight has certainly caused questions and raised different opinions. Many of you suggested your options for its improvement: both in our social media and through the game suggestions form.
Today we would like to present the design, adjusted according to your feedback and experience from the first weeks of mass flights!
Changes have been made to the physics of movement and control of the armored vehicle. Their goal is to increase the dynamics of air fights and make those more intuitive and comfortable.
A more detailed description is as follows:
- Now, at small angles of inclination along the pitch axis, the armored vehicle can fly without gaining altitude. This will allow armored vehicles to more easily approach the enemy while simultaneously firing
- Limited roll to the left/right (A/D keys) no longer leads to loss of altitude at small angles of inclination along the pitch axis. This will make it easier to control altitude during aerial combat
- Acceleration is now less dependent on pitch angle and is stronger at low pitch angles. This increases maneuverability, allows you to change direction faster and reduces the influence of inertia
- The vertical braking force has been increased, which should provide greater control of movement
- Improved overall stability of the armored aircraft
Once you're acquainted with the changes, we invite you to provide your constructive feedback on those here. Additionally, a survey will be launched on the main server upon the test's conclusion.
How to get to the test server?
If you have already participated in testing on a special server, then it will be enough to start the Launcher from the folder with the test client and wait for the update to complete.
- Create a new folder for the game on your hard drive.
- Download the Launcher from this link. The file name should not contain numbers indicating that the file is a duplicate. Please note that you should launch the file that does not contain any digits (1), (2), etc. in its name. If, when starting the installed launcher, you get to the live game servers, you need to delete all downloaded launchers from the download folder and try again.
- Start the Launcher and install the game to the folder you created (for example: D:\Public test\Crossout).
- After the installation is complete, start the Launcher and enter the game with your username and password.
- The whole progress of your main account will be transferred to the test server (including parts in storage and levels of reputation in factions).
- After logging into the server, to transfer progress from your account, press the “Esc” key and select “Copy account data”.
- Please note the schedule of the test server:
- Friday, October 27, 2023 from 14:00 to 20:59 (GMT time)
- Saturday, October 28, 2023 from 13:00 to 20:59 (GMT time)
- Sunday, October 29, 2023 from 13:00 to 20:59 (GMT time)
- Any progress you make on the test server will not be transferred to the live game servers (INCLUDING ATTEMPTS TO BUY PACKS).
The public test server is intended only for testing of the upcoming update, and may not accommodate all players without exception. However, absolutely anyone can join the server, as long as there are free spots.
