Question about blackouts/redouts

Jasta 6 · #1 08-19-2009, 06:07 PM

So it's been my understanding that blackouts and redouts were removed from the game because the beta testers thought they were a glitch. Seriously? I'm assuming the testers were all vets of HAWX and Blazing Angels and have never played a real flight sim in their lives? Why didn't the devs just explain to them that that's how its supposed to be?

Maybe it could be an option that could be toggled on or off as it is in Over G Fighters.

I thought this was going to be an option in BoP. That's why I was shocked to hear it wasn't gonna have black/red outs.

Hope it comes in a Title Update.

Actually, it has redouts/blackouts - with 10 times bigger thresholds (someone has reported it also).
And yes, in Title Update we'll reduce thresholds back again - for Simulation mode at least. We've agreed about that with publisher.

P.S. I am busy on gamescom, so not too much time to communicate.

I may have misunderstood you, but are saying that simulation mode will have red/black outs now?

Not now. Soon. At least, for PS3 (And I hope, for X360 as well - it's a matter of time).
I've spent last week in communications with publisher, and there will be title update with some features/fixes, mostly for simulation mode (for you guys).
