At present, there is a huge airdrop aircraft in the game, but up close it appears to have a very simple appearance. Do you have any ideas for optimizing the model of the airdrop aircraft and releasing a physical vehicle?Will players be considered to pilot the airdrop aircraft？
Why tho? That doesn’t make sense

Players rarely see it extremely up close, and it is optimized for the most part. That is why the model is so simple.
Will players be considered to pilot the airdrop aircraft？
From my perspective this make zero sense. Airdrops happen in planned locations that are randomly chosen. Having a player pilot the airdrop makes no sense because of all this:
- Why was the player offered to pilot the aircraft?
- Would the player start from a base and then take off?
- The lore doesn’t really go with survivors working with the group behind the airdrops.
- Players piloting the aircraft would make airdrops unreliable.
+plenty more thoughts.
I can see this as a feature for some custom gamemode, but for the vanilla game it doesn’t really fit in well with the current experience.

Although maybe not piloting the NPC airdrop, I do think it could open some fun options to have a flyable plane with the ability to drop (something?). I’m not sure how well the physics would hold up but imagine driving a car up the ramp into the back of the cargo plane.

Yes, I was thinking that even if aerial speculation cannot be airdropped, if there is a physical vehicle, it would still be great. Players can experience a feeling similar to skydiving, where the plane can even open the rear compartment for the car to drive on. However, it is not feasible for NPC aerial speculation players to drive it because it is in high altitude and not all maps have such large areas for takeoff. If there is an aerial speculation entity designed as an Easter egg ID, it would probably be very interesting
There is a pretty big difference between giving people a Plane with skycrane-ish cargo kiad function and player controlled airdrops
Can you design a mini version,As a little Easter egg
Alternatively, it could be a homemade airdrop box that allows players to equip themselves with equipment that can be dropped by pressing CTRL on mini aerial speculation. This would allow players to customize the items inside the airdrop, thus creating the concept of server OP aerial speculation delivering player supplies
Whatever translator you are using is really butchering the airdrop part. But yeah again a plane that uses the skycrane mechanic to drop a crate that also handles like a umbrella mid-air would be cool.
In summary, having a physical vehicle for aerial speculation is a cool thing. Do you know that this means that currently, the game’s movable vehicles have their own physical models and can be freely piloted by players, similar to trains in Russia or Yukon? With the development of train tracks, airdrop planes can also be designed from the airdrop planes that fly around our heads every day, right? It doesn’t have to be the same, but at least if there is one, it seems that the game is very real. It’s a great thing to see the vehicles that can’t be opened in the sky so that players can fly them
We don’t necessarily have to airdrop system code. If players can also airdrop, it will become more interesting. The server can turn off airdrops to allow the OP to customize the items in the box and airdrop them to the players. What would this feel like? The pilot of the plane is a real person instead of an NPC, a model or a texture. I understand what you mean, this may affect the airdrop, but if this plan is adopted, it may break through the game’s mode. The default system airdrop and no airdrop airdrops are made by players using empty speculation to place
We don’t necessarily have to be unified by the original, because the current version has already broken through many new things, so why don’t we?
For example, the original vehicle had a fixed color, but now players can change the skin color of the vehicle by spraying paint. In the past, airplanes were airplanes, cars were cars, but the emergence of rainbow cars turned cars into flying cars. The cars made by players now have Easter egg skins and become lunar exploration vehicles, and even in the game, they have Feiting. Think about it, if you can break through, would it be a different kind of experience?
Imagine to add the ability to destroy it and it will fall like with special kind of event
Ура! Звучит как оранжевый зомби - маяк.
To clarify – the Rainbow Hatchback is actually an airplane (not a car).
If you’re just wanting to pilot around a big plane that kinda looks like a higher-detailed version of the airdrop aircraft, I believe one of the older curated maps has something like it. It wouldn’t be an official vehicle, and you wouldn’t be able to drop carepackages on people, but it might be worth looking at some of the curated maps if that’s kinda what you’re looking for.
