Decoupled Flight | New Flight Model in 3.23!

This is a quick Demo of the new Flight Model in 3.23 for De-Coupled flight.

In Regards to the Decoupled Upwards Thrust behavior Change Comment: Just to Clarify, in previous versions of the game, by default the player would have to constantly give upwards thrust input to hold their altitude in Atmosphere (When the player is close enough to be pulled by the planet's gravity). In 3.23, Default behavior has changed, the game will now hold the ship at your altitude without constant input. You no longer have to hold your upwards thrust to stay at altitude in ATMO. This will be a big change for those of us who use pedals to keep our altitude in atmosphere.

Binding Gravity Compensator and Precision mode to your decoupled key bind makes it fly like Old decoupled.... only difference is when you have these setting off and decoupled, if you put your gear down you dont have vector hold anymore. you will still have to add Upstrafe while gear is down. Only real noticeable change... Your welcome

[@merc9nine]

If this is true...🎉

[@runipaulino6268]

is there a way to switch between the old one and the new one?

[@faintanomaly]

I’ll find out for you tonight when I get home, I didn’t see anything online about it, I also didn’t see anything in the menu, but I’ll have a look. I do think if there isn’t a toggle to switch it back to the old way, then CIG might sdd it later, especially if enough poeple complain 👍

[@Ed_Patrick]

Yes it’s in flight movement called gravity compensation. You can set it as a keybind to toggle. Same place you find the keybind for landing gear speed restrictions

[@faintanomaly]

@@Ed_Patrick Sweet! thanks for the Info.👍

[@FathersGame2-zi5wv]

I set my Gravity compensator and my Precision mode to my key bind for Decoupled. Precision mode is the 30m/s limit with landing gear out. ALso new change in Decoupled with these setting turned off Makes your ship no long have vector hold mode with the gear out. Same as old Decoupled but no Vector hold with landing gear out... FYI

[@faintanomaly]

Thanks for pointing that out! @FathersGame2-zi5wv Very helpful comment for the others that might want to know.

nice video man. from your view can you tell what are the major differences between coupled and decoupled?

[@faintanomaly]

The major differences are much smoother and more intuitive control. Momentum is also conserved after leaving the inputs. It's very similar to DCS, which is another flight simulator game that I'm familiar with. I think CIG is moving in that direction (FlightSim) anyways, especially after seeing the CitizenCon demo. The realistic control surface movements and also the stalling behaviour, those are all found in the more realistic sims. I'm excited personally about these changes, but I know it's not for everyone, so people need to speak up on spectrum if they don't like the direction the game is heading, but we'll see...

@@faintanomaly yeah i have seen a lot of heat about the new Master mode for example. To be honest i dont have a particular opinion on the flight mode, as i mostly play with keyboard and mouse, anything fits for me for better or worse. im more itnerested in the overall game and setting rather then flight itself

[@faintanomaly]

Same here actually, I used to play with a dual stick setup, with the pedals and head tracking, the whole works, but these days I actually prefer mouse and keyboard to the cumbersome setup of HOTAS. Once you get used to mouse and keyboard it's actually really fun, and I prefer it. Master Modes has been quite fun for me, but I don't do much PVP, I mainly fight NPC's. I can imagine a massive adjustment to the PVP players and also those players who bought a particular ship for it's performance in previous patches.

[@StarLeader44]

Dude I WISH I could low fly like that! Nice flying!

[@faintanomaly]

Hey man, I'm sure you can, I fly with mouse and keyboard these days, just had to get used to it. 😂 How's the new patch been for you? running alright on your side?

[@StarLeader44]

@@faintanomaly uhhhhhhhhhhhhh... I lost all my stuff due to a bug that broke the looting system so I couldn't get my stuff back when I died.... Otherwise I'm loving everything else!

[@faintanomaly]

Dam dude that's a shit one, I hope it wasn't any rare loot. So far i've been surprised by how stable everything is, I've had one issue with elevators not opening at the stations but it fixed itself after a couple minutes, so it was probably just a slow server load.

[@StarLeader44]

@@faintanomaly The rarest thing I lost was an lmg lol I didn't have much.

[@faintanomaly]

Ahhh okay could've been worse, still sucks, I hate it when that kind of thing happens. I have to wonder if in the future the human race ever gets to where the fictional people are in star citizen, if we'll be able to handle such power, I think most people will get in their ship and crash on takeoff and checkout lol. With Great Power comes Even Greater Accidents and Death 😂

[@THEMALBINO]

Master modes is crap!

[@faintanomaly]

Very curious to know what you think, why don’t you like master modes? Is it combat related, just general flight or something specific?
