Starting at specific speed

[klavan]

OK, I'm a pilot and I don't wanna to begin my mission in an aircraft that run at 1200 km/h. How can I reduce the speed of that damn Hornet?
I've tried the setvelocity command (from 0,0,0 to xxxx,xxxx,xxxx....), but the plane stall anytime, beginning from a speed of -16!!!
Thanks for any help.

What if you'd try something like

planename setVelocity [60*(sin(getDir planename)),60*(cos(getDir planename)),1]

How would that work for you?

I'm not entirely sure if this works for aircraft, but maybe you could try it:


myaircraft setSpeedMode "LIMITED"

Which, if it works will give you half speed.

EDIT:  Just tried it.......it works for ai pilots only.

I've done this several times when flying around in that F-18: (init line)

Code: [Select]

v=velocity this;this setVelocity[(v select 0)*0.3, (v select 1)*0.3, 0]
That'll slow it down nicely while still keeping the plane flying.

OK, problem solved!
The Killswitch solution works fine.
Thanks to all you guys! :thumbsup:
