Brian (or anyone else) is there a way to make spaceship physics? Like if you look up you go up and it tilts in the direction you're looking.

That's much requested, and will be coming sooner than later. I mean it this time Smile

Dim3 2.2?
no, feture lock Wink.

i really need this also, it would make the cintrols make so much more sense Smile.
I'm adding it today. Yes, teh1ghool, finally Smile

Basically just a new input method, if you look up, it changes the pitch of the object and goes up/down depending on the angle.

I'm also adding a new property where you can set the "slop" for going up/down (i.e., you have to be at a certain pitch before it does vertical change.) Otherwise you'd never been able to "level off" (because you'd always have to be right at 0.) I'm working on coming up with a good default.

When the next beta of 2.2 comes out, PLEASE test this and tell me if it works for you, and I'm make adjustments.

I hope I never run for office because all they'd have to do is look through this board and see what a big liar I constantly am Smile

OK, NOW feature lock Smile

:lol:!
yay :D
can you turn the model upide down when flying? you should have a maximum rotate option, and if you set it to 0 you can do loops or whatever Smile

Right now, it's constrained by the same parameters that constrain looking, so you can setup all the values you need to keep it within a certain range.

The new demo turns on this mode when you hit the "fly" key so you can fly by looking up/down.

Great cos my ship flying controls are a bit clunky at the moment and it probably looks bad from another players view, I'll put a hold on trying to improve that for now then. Cant wait to see this one.

Nice one Brian Wink
But when you fly the only way to get down again is to turn off fly mode.
