Fly Kai Tak

Fix

Other aircraft now bank the right way

Arriving and departing jets were drawn rolling away from their turns. They now dip the wing on the inside of the turn.

Other aircraft in the sim were banking the wrong way. A jet turning right showed its left wing down, and the same for left turns. Arriving and departing traffic now rolls into the turn like it should.

What changed

Arrivals bank into the 47° right turn over Kowloon City, and departures bank into their right turn over the harbour. Both were drawn with the bank reversed. The holding jets already banked correctly. We fixed the two that did not.

What did not change

  • Your own aircraft was always drawn correctly. Only the other traffic was wrong.
  • The aileron movement on the other jets now matches the bank too.
  • Flying with no input still ends in a crash, and the autopilot still lands in every weather preset.

模擬器入面其他飛機轉彎時嘅傾側方向反咗。右轉嘅客機會見到左翼向下，左轉亦一樣。而家進場同離場嘅飛機都會好似真正客機咁，向轉彎嗰邊傾側。

改咗啲乜

進場飛機喺九龍城上空做 47° 右轉，離場飛機喺海港上空做右轉，兩種都將傾側方向畫反咗。等候航線上面嘅飛機一直都正確，所以我哋只修正咗錯嘅兩種。

由後面望住一架 747 向右轉向跑道，右翼比左翼低。
一架進場飛機喺右轉中，由後面望過去。右翼向下，朝住跑道方向。

冇改嘅嘢

  • 你自己架飛機一直都畫得啱，出錯嘅只係其他飛機。
  • 其他客機嘅副翼動作而家亦同傾側方向配合。
  • 完全唔操作仍然會墜毀，自動駕駛仍然可以喺所有天氣設定下降落。
