It was a combustion engine model. The real deal. ;)

 

And the best I can do is make sure it does not fly realistically because very few people would get that thing off the ground... without plowing right back into it 20 seconds later.

 

Being lightweight, the heli is really too responsive, indeed. A plower, air-head turns, self destroyer in a tree, so many purposes. But sure it is hell of a fun.

wut?

Pagan woodland creatures are the ones without organised belief systems.

 

I'm certain that this is no entity property so someone seems to be bringing his personal baggage into the game.

Maybe he's suggesting that we should eat more pagans? We'll probably never find out. Nor should we try to.

Hey I began looking into this airship thing and it looks as Lockheed Martin has built it's first models, back in 2016!

 

I am posting links for those of you interested in it. It is a little big but the developers could shrink the size to fit easily into the game.

 

The reason for the links is to give everyone an idea of what an airship could do.

 

This thing is part blimp, part wing and part hover craft.

This forth link is mainly for size on other into. Again it could be smaller and even a different shape.

Surprisingly difficult to fly those. The pilot involved in this rather sedentary impact had hundreds of hours flying time with various types of aircraft and even he couldn't prevent its front-bum, and more importantly the cockpit, from hitting the ground. Nobody was injured in the following footage.

This one just seems to give up on the runway :-)

Pessimist. :)

 

But did you notice that this was a prototype? In other words. Airship- alpha 1

Airships in general, regardless of whether they're blimps or have a rigid structure, have a terrible safety record. They just seem to attract accidents. :-)

"When I first came here, this was all swamp. Everyone said I was daft to build a castle on a swamp, but I built it all the same, just to show them. It sank into the swamp. So I built a second one. And that one sank into the swamp. So I built a third. That burned down, fell over, and then sank into the swamp. But the fourth one stayed up. And that’s what you’re going to get, Son, the strongest castle in all of England."

The jet-powered wing-suit is one of the few modes of aerial transportation without a single fatality. This is mainly due to the fact that only a handful of people have been b̶r̶a̶v̶e̶ stupid enough to try it. Perfect for those quick escapes from the top of a skyscraper :-)

"It said that before being allowed to jetpack-fly in Britain, he had to get himself registered as an aeroplane, because parts of his body, rather than parts of his jetpack, acted as control surfaces; but he was exempted from the seat-belt rule."

If you think that's crazy. You should look up NASA's first attempts to get a working rocket. Deke Slayton once commented that he did not have to keep a close eye on them. He could hear them from the next state (blowing up).

damn... almost as bad as the winged gliding skydiving suit (look up in the sky... its a squirrel)... i did jump from a plane at 3500 feet in civilian life just for the sake of saying i did it.. that was a real parachute and for 5 seconds was damn scary so i definitely wouldnt put on the suit.

Their latest attempts have been pretty bad as well. The last one blew up at the end of July 2017 in California.

7400 and counting

 

Yeah but some people like broken outdated concepts because of nostalgia or something. F.E., Sharp sticks, broken menus. I imagine some will even complain when they see the new pathing algorithm. OMG these zombies aren't getting stuck on stuff, fix it!!! We like the ones that spin circles and can't reach the player 90% of the time.

 

It's been a long road always up hill but the new Alpha Builds are never disappointing!

yes it has and is still.

 

we have seen lots of new stuff and we have seen old favorites bite the dust.

 

old habits are hard to break for some of us i guess but is all for the better and new people just getting the game most like will not know the difference unless they are misguided.

 

so i too am always awaiting new features and hoping for the best. :)

Combine this and a rpg you then got yourself a jet fighter

I may have been reading too much into the game designers' intent, but it seemed like the forest creatures, particularly the rabbits, were so disillusioned by the apocalypse, they turned away from the organized religions in favor of the old gods.

 

Seriously though, has there been any mention of changing up the look of some of the existing zeds *(clothing, skin tone)? or adding some? or plants/animals? Thanks
