What's the flight model and what are we doing with it?

Cloud Imperium

hey're not making changes to the flight model per-say, the flight model is realistic physics based as much as it can be. It's about opening up the flight model to designers to change some parameters of ships, to more easily modify some aspects of ships, speeds, stop times, etc… The model is the program that takes all the numbers, crunches them, and outputs results. They're changing the numbers that go into the flight model, not the flight model itself. They're doing everything live, changing things around to see what works best. They try to get a lot of the testing out of the way in studio. They're not changing the work that John Pritchett and others have done on the flight model; they're changing stats that go into the model; speeds, stop times, weapon damages and such.
