AI blipping engine on I-16


Recommended Posts

Posted

What's going on with the AI when they blip the engines like this? I saw them doing it to slow down while attacking bombers, can clearly hear the engine cut out and back on.

 

Also interesting someone told me they saw a real/replica I-16 blipping the engine at an airshow, although I had thought it was only rotary engines not radials that could do this.. anyone know if the original I-16 could do it?

 

The blip key binding doesn't work for I-16, and if you switch the engine off and on it's not instant like that but somehow the AI did it.


Does the AI get special privileges/cheats? ?

You sure it’s not just a sound bug?

No, not sure.. didn't know there were sound bugs. Is it a known issue?

I have run into sound issues occasionally with sound cutting out a little online. Most of it has been fixed lately I found. Maybe try and get a track and post it?

It doesn't sound like whole of sound cuts out, just the engine of that plane (sounds exactly like Blip from rotaries).

 

The track: https://www.dropbox.com/s/iovp8j5tkmgxslp/Tracks.rar?dl=0

Here's a short clip from the track:

Looks like rapid throttle down if not blip. The exhaust flames cut out too when it "blips".

Is it not carburettor that cuts the engines in negative G

You don't really blip radials.

Can be - on early Spitfires for instance. But even with fuel injection you still need positive Gs for fuel and oil pumps to work correctly. Hence all (?) the BoX fighters will cut from negative Gs after some period of seconds.

They don't seem to be hitting hard Gs, I do alot of stick forward to dodge gunfire in I-16 and don't remember cut outs. Possible though. Also possible the AI is cheating :)

I cannot remember noticing this so I just suggest. There are no blip on it. Might be a bug
