We are using that new R/C flight simulator Karlton is selling, Cockpit Master.
There are currently 3 or 4 slopes in the game to choose from, and the only
foamie wing at the moment is the Zagi, so, you this software to connect to
the "CM Lobby" where you can chat and either host or join other games in
progress. I think each session can have up to 6 pilots in it, and there
can be up to 200 sessions on server computer at once.
Once you join a session, you end up standing on top of the slope, throw the
plane and start flying. You will see everyone elses plane that is flying
on that slope too, even though they are on a different computer, somewhere
across the Internet. It also keeps track of kills... no walk of shame
though, just hit the Backspace key to launch again.
Sure, the models need tweeking a bit to feel right, but I have my Zagi
pretty close, and I can tell you at points it really does feel like actual
slope combat. I miss not having the peripheral vision, and they need to
have different color wings for everyone, and edit in a good foam WHAP sound
when you hit, but it is really fun... and quite addicting! 8-)
P.S. Indoor electric combat with Twinstars, Tinys, Picojets, Picocubs,
Picostiks, Lazybees or what ever is fun too!
