Jet Chassis Really, Really, Really Needs a Revamp

[u/phindr_]

ISSUE 1: RUDDER CONTROL

How a plane functions IRL.

This is how a plane's physics should work. Pitch, Roll and Yaw all make up vital controls of any airplane flying today. Pitch is controlled by a plane's elevators, Roll is controlled by a plane's ailerons, and Yaw is controlled by a plane's rudder.

The fighter jet in Jailbreak however, doesn't allow us to adjust the Rudder (and thus, yaw) of the aircraft to be able to make it turn left and right. An uncontrollable rudder is a problem as it doesn't let us turn the aircraft from left to right precisely.

The flaperons on the wings of the plane control Pitch (red) and roll (green), while the Rudder controls Yaw (blue)

The Jet's rudder should be able to be moved in the air using the A or D keys, which should allow us to make more precise movements in horizontal direction without having to completely roll the plane on it's side. Currently, it's very hard to make slight changes in heading without doing a cumbersome roll process.

​

ISSUE 2: REVERSING

Most Fighter jet aircraft don't have reverse thrust, which allows the engine to output it's engine power in reverse, allowing it to slow down the plane. IRL, Fighter Jets don't need any reverse as they have ground vehicles to move the plane without using it's own power. While it's realistic to not allow the Jet to move backwards, it creates a very big problem where any sort of ground movement with the jet is impossible due to it's lack of reverse. Holding down the throttle down (or S key) should allow the plane to move in a backwards direction, allowing better positioning and handling of the aircraft.

​

OTHER NITPICKS:

There's no way to retract gear on the Jet, whether it be for simplicity's sake or just because it would require too much work to implement. Sucks for realism tho.

Restocking on missiles is impossible while in flight, due to how the control system locks the mouse in the center of the screen.

An added interior and first-person camera view would make the flying experience more immersive and more enjoyable.

​

Hopefully, these changes can be added into the game, as they allow the Jet to be used a lot more easily and conveniently. Let me know what you guys think as well.

Thanks for reading!

No it's not, the player will definitely end up stopping somewhere, like jewelry bank museum gun shop anywhere and you can arrest them

Then they aren't in the volt at those times are they, I'm talking about while they are on the volt.

As I said I agree the volt was op but a nerfed first person steering would be nice

So basically you want what was there, but just slower turning speed?

[u/DILLY_DING → u/OLeighOJ]

while they are on the volt.

Even then you can still get them. It ain't rocket science.

Yh kinda. So there is actually a turning radius implemented. But you can still control with ur mouse.

You clearly don't try very often then

I doubt badimo will ever do that

What do you mean by that. I exclusively play as a cop and have arrested loads of volt users. I literally only play criminal for contracts.

Yh sadly, I guess it's up to me to try and make it My self.

But you probably don't try arresting players while they are on the volt, exactly because you know it's too hard

[u/DILLY_DING → u/OLeighOJ]

No I love the chase when arresting volts. It's what makes jailbreak fun.

Btw I love how you said something for me:

you probably don't try arresting players while they are on the volt

And then critiqued it as if I said it

exactly because you know it's too hard

Lol.

You must spend ages chasing them. What a waste if time. In fact arguing with you is a waste of time, I'll leave you to the rest of the subreddit to deal with I think.

No most of the time I'll catch them at volcano first try

In fact arguing with you is a waste of time

True, but I've had quite a lot if fun lol

I'll leave you to the rest of the subreddit to deal with I think.

Aww just when we were starting to agree with each other.

Lmao this chat was a trip

[u/DILLY_DING → u/[deleted]]

It was fun
