Armored planes in Crossout don't fly well

Блог
Recently, fans of the multiplayer action game Crossout, about the battles of homemade vehicles, received a long-awaited update with flying machines. They were allowed to collect them in the same way as ground models - by opening resources and parts in the course of completing tasks. And further - complete freedom of creativity. You can create something that really looks like a helicopter, or you can offer your own unique design. But something didn't go according to plan.

Testing to fix Crossout

Two weeks after the release of the "New Heights" patch, it became clear that not all gamers are happy with the new mechanics, and in addition air battles lack intensity due to the nuances of the controls. To change the situation for the better, the developers from Targem Games decided to launch a test server, where changes designed to improve the flying experience of users will be tested. Here they worked on errors in the physics of the behavior of vehicles with propellers, as well as made corrections to the control over it.

Now a slight change in pitch axis tilt does not result in a climb, and a slight roll to the left or right does not produce a drop effect. The dependence of acceleration on tilt has become less, the vertical braking force has been increased and, in general, the stability of the machine in the sky has been improved. All this is designed, firstly, to make the technique more maneuverable, and, secondly, easy to control. That is, it is more interesting for pilots to play. To get to the test server, you need to download a separate launcher in a folder specially created for it and log in with your login-password. It is worth bearing in mind that the progress gained here is not transferred to the main account.
