they started the vehicle code some time ago (there is allready some basic coding for vehicles included, but it is incomplete so it isn't working). as far as i know they won't finish the vehicle code for the ut version of infiltration

And besides, since INF maps are so small, there's no need for them.

Some versions ago I'd implemented basic vehicle codes. Our vehicles were and are able to follow terrain but they do not have "real" collision and do not take damage or something alike. They are just "decos" driving around in their current state.
We decided to move the vehicles to a more or less low priority cause the current UT engine does not support such efforts very much. U2 and the next-gen engine from Epic will support vehicles in a much better way and mod developers will not have to script the whole "physics" themselves.
There are some mods out there that let ya drive "brush" based vehicles and some let a drive mesh based ones but all lack in the terrain code a bit and really have no "real" feel behind it (no offense). The UT engine is simply not able to do this properly in its current state.
So - like already said - we haven't spend additional time to the vehicle codes yet due to these problems and cause the effords will not sum up to a "good" result.

Hey! You played StrangeloveV2? That pretty much feels like a "real" vehicle for UT.(At least for what you can achieve
with the engine physicwise etc. )

I thought that flying a bomb would not be a 'milspec' even tough the Germans did try to build and 'use' similar "vehicles" in WW2 ...

No, I think Beowulf has a point... If choppers can fly, then there is no need for terrain code. The only thing it needs is to self destruct on heavy impact, or to land if straight enough... That is a perfect example of some vehicles we can have.

Thanks to everybody for the replies!!!!

A chopper wouldn't be impossible ... but with that code it wouldn't be a realistic chopper. (it can fly, but can it fly realistic ?)

Given the 'maximum realisme'-attitude of some of the members in this community I think they will find a reason to complain if the chopper doesn't behave like the real thing. And that requires a bit more than a thing that can land & crash.

a chopper thats just scripted to do something would be cool

but player control is out of the question

too many abusers of anything that could go wrong with it

Didn't the teaser feature a few flying choppers ?
I wonder what map that was ... (and if you can shoot them

)

})FA|Snake · Feb 27, 2002

why would we want a player-controlled chopper in maps this small?

SaraP · Feb 28, 2002

No, but delivering one team via copters a la Blackhawk Down would be cool.

How do you mean like blackhawk down? By getting it shoot down and creating one of the biggest failures in the history of special ops forces?

Naa. I know what you mean.

JaFO · Feb 28, 2002

But indestructable choppers would be highly unrealistic ...
