Update 1.5 (Airspeed Indicator and Flight Physics Update) — Glider Island Steam update #476542

Flight Physics Hey all! We just updated the flight physics so they act a bit more realistic. Before the glider would increase or decrease velocity based on your pitch, and a couple other factors. As this works, it’s not quite how a glider would work in real life. The glider now gains and loses velocity based on how much altitude you lose or gain. As well as looking at the angle of attack. We also programmed in gravity to act correctly. So when you jump, gravity pulls you down and you have to overcome it by gaining lift. Also notice that it is easier to come to a landing as well, by flaring (pitching up and pulling back). Give it a try! Airspeed Indicator: We also added a simple airspeed indicator in the center of your HUD! We had some feedback that it was hard to judge how fast you were going. But now you can use the easy to read airspeed indicator that goes from Red (too slow) to Green ...
