The multiplayer virtual world would then have just gotten a little more dangerous. You'd get rogue pilots shooting down 747's and other hapless leisure flyers. There would have to be a way to fix that, like a combat mode on/off switch feature. So if the 747 pilot doesn't feel like being shot out of the sky, he can turn off combat mode. Sure other planes could shoot at him but they wouldn't have any effects. I'm no programmer nor do I have the time but it would sure make a great flight sim into an awesome one. I'm sure one day Flightgear will be there. So that's for another day, today I gotta get back to modelling my first plane so I've finally found a detailed 3 plan blueprint of my jet, just gotta figure out how blender or AC3D works then find some aerodynamic data for it and model it into an FDM.
Better would be to have it off by default.Christopher2222 wrote:So if the 747 pilot doesn't feel like being shot out of the sky, he can turn off combat mode.

That's what the combat mode is for. So you can't be shot down. It still allows dogfights but only between willing participants and people who have combat mode activated from the preferences menu.
I know there's combat sims out there but there's more realism in Flightgear. Like I said maybe for the future. For now, playing tag in the mountains over the Andes or the Alps is almost as fun!
