Nutz Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 Pi and I got our Dodos to fly together for awhile. Here are the screenshots: http://www.maj.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=694 Note the speed of 114 is not by chance. That happens to be the speed that the Dodo can settle into at max altitude. In this special condidion we call "autopilot" you can completely take your hands off of the controls, even the thrrottle. Input commands are only needed for turns, though the boundary bumpers will helpfully u-turn you back and forth indefinately if you plan your course right Once Dodo flying in Autopilot mode results in a stable flight path below the max usable speed. Another Dodo can approach the stable one by flying at a faster, unstable speed. Once on station you can fly in formation or do other manuvers. Link to comment

Black Dragon Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 actually, you can do this autopilot thing at almost every hight! i agree, flying at max speed IS the best, but you CAN do this so called autopilot (which i call leveled flight) at lower speeds, and at lower hights. same thing - leave the controlls and bring yourself some tea . i use it anytime, anywhere (unless in a city) to type messages while in the air. 3 people formation, anyone?

Nutz Posted July 26, 2004 Author Share Posted July 26, 2004 Umm, why is what BioHazard blanked out ion the chat section at the top of it? WTF did he say? There were some f-words I think. I pixelated them so they are family safe. I have to remember to hit f9 when doing screenshots because even without profanity they are distracting. Link to comment
