rapid plane start ( plane catapult )

[XyZEL]

hi. this is the situation. I´m talking about Battlefield 1942 now, u get in an plane and normally u need time to get speed and take off. But i seen on some server where u take a plane and promptly u are in the air and have full speed of this plane. But control and handling from this plane don´t change it stay original. This is something looks like a catapult, that allows you to skip the take off sequence.

I changed the engine setting of planes (ObjectTemplate.setTorque and
ObjectTemplate.setDifferential ) but this change the handling of plane. Handling must stay after a start at original.

Thx. !

The engine has a property

Code: Select all

ObjectTemplate.setAcceleration 0/0/1200

I think this is what you'd need to change to achieve that. Increase the third value (z-axis = forward/backward) to something much higher and the engine should change the speed of your vehicle much faster.
Consider that this also means you can stop the plane faster in the air and then maybe do strange this like flying backwards etc., depending on how much "setMinRotation" your engine has...

i changed this; but that only allows the plane faster switching the propeller speed from forward to backward. normally i need 5 sek to get full propeller speed if i change this from 1000 to 10000 i need only 1sek. i changed it to 100000 but it is the same. I think it is something other ))

Could this be an invisible and silent 'nitro' mod which just fires once when you get in? That would do it without changing any handling.

What happens when you land the plane and take off again?

What happens when you land the plane and take off again?

the same thing

code

Code: Select all

ObjectTemplate.Active Spitfire
objecttemplate.forwardmod 60

oh and yes!

theres a negative side tho, it kicks in every time you enter the driver seat, meaning if you switch back and forth between (if any) pos2 and driver, it will do this every time. i cant use it on bombplanes because of this. good pilots can use this in flight with fighterplanes to by getting out and in again in mid air, but its tricky.

edit: one more thing (lol) if you put a mine in front of a vehicle that have this code, it wont work very good (atleast not on planes)

yes it happens the same if i get in a plane again.

freddy thank you!
it works. just added that
ObjectTemplate.Active Spitfire
objecttemplate.forwardmod 60
to Vehicles/Air/plane_name/Physics.con

the nitro mod would work, as long as you just add 1 mag and 1 "shot"
