Hydraulics

[RockKrawler]

Hey all,

 

I was just thinking wouldn’t it be cool to implement a hydraulics system to the control surfaces for aircraft..You would need a hydraulic reservoir, pump and lines supplying pressure to your control surfaces..Control surfaces without hydraulics would still work in smaller craft but as the craft got larger the aerodynamic forces would require hydraulics. Hydraulic failures would bring extreme challenges and force us to build in redundancy into our craft. Just a thought.

I think while it can be fun, its just adding parts. And then you have to deal with another element to add to the already learning cliff that is the game as well as added complexity in line routing and what not if you do include that. And I know personally I don't particularly want to spend time on fiddling with more control lines and adding more parts.

Reservoirs, pumps, lines, pressure... Way too complex for stock game and its simplified mechanics. Definitely for modding field.

I'd never want to see it. I hate aircraft enough as is. It's just increasing the part count to add complexity.

Yea I hear you guys, just thinking out loud....Would be pretty sweet to be on final and have some mod like dang it trigger a hydro failure and then boom, lithobrake engage lol.

I'm not familiar with the failures that Dang It can introduce, but if it's not in it you might request they add random control surface lockups or hard over failures.
