Valk Brake Twitching

Aug 23, 2004 Cam link
In a Valk in arcade mode you twitch at up to 6mps when you hold the brakes.

New "feature" ??? :P

This is indicative of worn or warped brake rotors. Go to a station and either have the old rotors turned or replaced.

Other than the humor above, unable to verify as I don't have a Valk. Not noticed on any other ships, recently.

I noticed this awhile ago up to 3.2 but never bothered to mention it.

You should see devs using the unreal engine... must be something to do with the caffeine fuel cells.

Anyway it happens with all ships, just the Valk is quick enough that it twiches while it is not even noticable in a Rag or Centaur. And yeah I suppose it counts as a bug...

Yes, this is far from 'new'. The arcade mode control system doesn't deal with fast engines very well. Needs different tuning for different ships but it doesn't have it.

But the warped brake rotors thing I thought was pretty funny.

I like it. It makes the Valk look agressive, like a doberman chained to a post, with the links starting to bend...

Could you add a growling noise when the valk is doing this?

;)
