THIS Is Why The P-72 Destroys All Racing Ships In 3.18 | Star Citizen 

The P-72 has been an absolute blast to fly in 3.18. Thanks for the videos man!

Best place to come to learn about the true potential to racing in SC. I thought it was cool that CIG decided to give more racing stuff to do, but didn’t think it’d be for me. I tried it, and I really get the enjoyment out of it. We just need a ship respawn point and regen point for the inevitable accidents in verse.

This is true of all ships starting in 3.18.2 that I've noticed. Any ship with large wings seems to generate a considerable amount of lift and only require a bit of vertical angle to stay in flight. Even large, slow and generally unruly ships like the retaliator can make quick turns and stay in flight with minimal nose-up input in 3.18.2. I haven't tested this on the live 3.18 server yet as I was used to those ships flying like bricks and being unable to change direction in atmosphere (and space).

Freakin amazing. I could feel the gforce through the screen!

I just got my p-72 emerald and i love this thing. Its fun as a fighter and i cant wait to see what i can do when i learn how to use my HOSAS setup better

Mastering the P-72 in this patch is likely the best way to learn both to race and to dogfight, regardless of what you want to do, you can only benefit.

1:18 Damn, sounds pretty much like Elite's flight model, nice :)

I really wish I could fly like this... You are one hell of a pilot man. Truly

Alright this was nice. Now I'm going to try and replicate this and die until I can complete one lap. This looks so fun and I want to practice racing you just gave me a whole perspective to this game. Bravo thumb's up! This gets my like and sub!

WOW This is Art! 😍 Thanks! :)

Clearly my best times with this ship in AC's race mode, not even the M50 can beat her. The M50 costs 1.2M (roughly) and the P-72 costs 150K. Big difference is that you're not equiped with a QT drive. That means, if you have a ship that can carry her in her cargo bay, like a Corsair (which she fits in), you can select New Babbage as starting location, buy a P-72 straight of the bath, get her in your cargo hold, and here you go, you have your racing trailer ready with your high-end top notch racing ship inside of her !! Land at the Lorville's Outskirts, which conveniently offers a landing pad for your racing trailer, and start earning that rep ! Love that concept ! Just need a respawn bed in my Corsair now :p

Impressive skills!

Some great flying there from the real BlackMaze 😂, this video was great and to the point. Thank you

Very cool video!!

Great video! How do you think control surfaces will affect stunt low-flying which often involves unusual pitch angles and drifting while rolling? I am worried a lot of the fun tricks and stunts that we do while lowflying will no longer be possible.

👍 Awesome video

man you sold me on the P72, I think I will pick one up in 3.18.2

We need a delta-wing design, I think it'd be immensely interesting for atmospheric flight and racing, the Arrow is the closest to being a delta IMO.

nice work

That was nice flying

I wish atmospheric flight models were real and simulator like. It just increases immersion by 1000%

I drank every time you said super and had to get my stomach pumped. All kidding aside, rad video, homie.

I wish that in racing you could deck the ships out in numbers and sponsor decals along with specific team colours. that would make the racing much more like proper pro racing and less like a track day for amateurs in road cars...(not saying that Blackmaze or the racers are amateur flyboys), just saying that it would be great to see a ship flash by and know straightaway its a particular pilot or team.

atmospheric flight should be more like this for all ships bar heavy class which should also have a counter weight auto balance, meaning they should act more like turtles in atmosphear and not be able to VIRT or roll at all just stay plain and any rooling will should drift the ship left or right instead of roll if Vtol is on. this should make large ships SUPER stable in atmosphear like they are counter weighted from bellow giving them weight and the VTOL for breaking atmo should be higher. so anything medium class might also have this, like connies mole MSR . Cutlass and cutter should also behave more like helicopters and have dynamic Vtol that when you move forward they tilt slightly and again rolling the ship should tilt the ship but it should remain horizon balanced, only light fighters that can travel at speed should be able to flip and they should also flight more like the merlin but have stabilization systems like a harrier Jumpjet idk i want to see where CIG go

Archie is the best ! ^^

Do we know when control surfaces are coming?

Maybe we could get alt versions of the racing ships. Ships that have good lift would get drifty alts (Kruger for example would get a drifty alt, having less lift surface) and drifty ships would get lifty alts (Razor would get a lifty alt, having more lift surface?)

Love your content. Also, could not differentiate what you were describing between the two ships/models. A noob friendly approach would also be welcomed. :)

I am afraid we will lose this when master mode comes. I am very skeptical of it that we are sacrificing other aspects of flight model for combat.

What about the M50?

Thank god I bought this one while it was on sale, right?

DCS with starships

What about the Archimedes?

How about dog fighting with it?

mach 1?
