Quadrotor issues

Recommended Posts

so having just tryed out the uav's on a friends pc i noticed something wrong about one of them, specifically the quadcopter or the AR-2 darter as bohemia calls it. now i am an rc enthusiast and i have spent some time recently flying quadrotors and the first major issue i noticed is the damage model... it is awful, you can blow it up just by landing too hard. this isn't at all realistic as for one they cannot explode as there is nothing flammable involved (other than the battery which rarely happens), and two real quadrotors are actually extremely durable, but you even tap a wall in a3 it blows up... i have flown my own quadrotor into a cement wall at mid to low speed and kept flying...

another thing i found though was the handling characteristics were a bit odd, the pitch and roll are fine and make it nice and maneuverable but the yaw is awful... it needs a definite speed up as for now it yaws like a full sized helicopter.

anyways i am hoping bi can fix it so that it can be used for building infiltration's as well as getting in and out of small areas without risk of explosion when a grain of sand hits it.

Yeah, the yaw definitely needs some speeding up. The quad UAV is the slowest-turning rotary wing aircraft in the game (series), which is hardly fitting.
