Fully agree - I remeber the old gravlev we had, and it was great. Sometimes I thik CIG made gravlev intentonally bad, so they can better sell wheeled vehicles.
@dragonchild_SC I doubt it because driving physics in year 12 are terrible too .) Seriously, the very first Mario Kart arcade game had better driving physics than Star Citizen in year 12.
I totally agree with you on the 3.14 grav lev mechanics. I would dare say it was at least %90. Yes could use a little tweaks but it was totally playable for either novice or expert pilots. Why doesn't just go back to that? The code must be kicking around somewhere. Even if they just did it as a placeholder it would make the gravlev ground vehicles so much better. Like the guy already did the work, it's not like they have to re-invent the wheel?...oh wait they did and rocks get into the gears in the wheel hubs. I don't think CIG realizes we're actually trying to HELP them with these videos and discussions. We're like "This worked, just use this" and they always come up with "No I don't care if it worked we need new mechanics".
@chrissinclair8705 there were a few issues with John Pritchett's 3.1.4 gravlev, sometimes gravlev vehicles were catapulted 10km into the air. But this was not John's fault, this could have been fixed. John's 3.1.4. gravlev was smooth, it made small adjustments on its own, it was fast and fun. I am thinking more and more, Chris lost too many good people over the years. Also paying below industry standard is not exactly a great way to get good and experienced people.
Yeah there was some backend changes in the eptu where they got rid of shields on all hover bikes, and the force was the only one with one. I’m not sure what they are doing, but there are a lot of questions about it. Because from my understanding there was no communication, just a surprise
@@Levnyan but of course. Why would they implement having two shields on the x1 and one shield on the other variants as they have stated in multiple posts and even the Q&A. And up until they put the bike in the eptu, it even was on the RSI website as such
I saw another video where when they opened the canopy there was an "open" prompt in the spot you would add fuel to a motorcycle. between the pilot and the handle bars. it could possibly be internal storage? possibly just component access though
@Eptable I have a detailed video of gravlev in 3.1.4: 3.1.4h PTU Gravlev is working nicely now, thanks John Pritchett th-cam.com/video/1plON6tm8MU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=oaTAwciOt3lO0z8-
Der Moment wenn du von dem Pad runterfährst (2:16) bzw. durch den kleinen Graben schwebst (2:27) wirkt auf mich ein wenig als wenn die X1 an einem unsichtbaren Bodenfahrzeug via. einem nicht stabilisierten Gimbal festgemacht wäre. 3:02 Man möchte fast meinen, dass das GravLev System ab einer gewissen Steigung und Höhe der Umgebungsdetails nicht mehr in der Lage ist "vorausschauend" zu reagieren und die Höhe selber anzupassen. Wie verhalten sich im Vergleich dazu die anderen Fahrzeuge wie 'DragonFly' und 'HoverQuad' bei hohen Geschwindigkeiten?
Gravlev is absolutely terrible I don’t know why they can’t simply Forget the gravity crap and just give it a standard flight model like a tiny regular ship🤷🏻♂️
@saleseng the sad thing is we had a *fantastic* gravlev back in 3.1.4. The new flight model in 3.5 killed it, since then gravlev is boring, no fun and doesn't look ahead anymore.
So what is the point of the X1? it looks cool yeah but it has no storage, no gun rack and the pilot is not protected from the elements. Why take this over a Nox or Dragonfly for example.
@Experia888 thank you, I thought my data might be wrong. In concept X1 base had a shield, CIG's (lying) ship matrix still shows a shield. I was a bit busy today, made the San'tok.yāi video, the X1 video and one more, so I didn't check my X1, my fault.
I feel we keep losing talented members of the team and they are replaced by people with little to no experience. The quality I fear will keep diminishing as we lose good people to other companies because by the time these new guys are trained up they will probably jump ship too.
@zeelastman CIG is certainly losing good people. John Pritchett was one of the few CIG devs who has a very good understanding of game physics. Also according to "Glassdoor" and personal contacts, CIG is paying below industry standard. This means they are attracting new inexperienced people. The good ones will leave after 1-2 years to find a better paying job.
@@Camural I have heard this too and that's what I was getting at, its become a stepping stone job to get some required experience and move on to something else. The only saving grace is the company is spread out into various studios so hopefully there will always be a few good devs even if they are scattered.
@LunaMoon0 if there is any gravlev improvement in 3.22, I can sincerely say: *I haven't notice it :)* It feels sad, I just watched my 3.1.4 video with John Pritchett's gravlev.
@theshamanlives welcome to the world of Chris' Star Citizen. Spaceships and mechanics are getting delayed by years and then when we get them into the game it is always lowest possible effort :). See salvage, see refueling, see Taurus, see X1, etc.
@BR1ZZO oh sure, I only try vehicles and gravlev on even ground like snake-pit or the ice lake at New Babbage space port. I really find it funny how some people defend everything CIG does :).

@scottgust9709 I am not too critical, I was not flying at minimum altitude. Gravlev since 3.5 is trash, it is not smooth, it is slow and boring.

Correction: Most of the hoverbikes now don't have shields in-game. Even ones that were advertised as having shields.
@@Levnyan will be tomorrow's video including CIG's posting on spectrum.
A moment of silence for remembering John Pritchett Grav Lev
After you open the pilot canopy, you can access an additional prompt on the inside before you get in.
It's neat I guess? But you can't use it for anything since bunkers fire at hover vehicles.
Fully agree - I remeber the old gravlev we had, and it was great.
Sometimes I thik CIG made gravlev intentonally bad, so they can better sell wheeled vehicles.

I saw another video where when they opened the canopy there was an "open" prompt in the spot you would add fuel to a motorcycle. between the pilot and the handle bars. it could possibly be internal storage? possibly just component access though
The storage is just under below the console inside the bike. I think it said open when I hovered over it.
Thanks for the video!
Will you be checking what ships can fit that baby in? 😁
Scale it down and make it a phaser!
Yaaaaaaaay its in. Even if its shit the X1 was one of my first ever ships I bought
@Shinzon23 congratulations (I guess) :)
Can be put in 400i front garage. It’s should be special for that ship.
MGFA - Make Gravlev Fun Again
@marshallgeyer8331 John's 3.1.4 gravlev approves :)
Can you make a more detailed video about gravlev, old gravlev?

@avon_c6199 genauso schlecht. Wir hatten wunderbares gravlev in 3.1.4.
Can you lift it with handheld tractor beam tools? 😀
I wonder if the 400! is coming with these and if it will fit properly or will twitch about?

So what is the point of the X1? it looks cool yeah but it has no storage, no gun rack and the pilot is not protected from the elements. Why take this over a Nox or Dragonfly for example.
You can see how it's just a car with invisible wheels!!
Wait a second. The force was supposed to have two shields.
@DashRendar308 I only have a base X1. Maybe the force has 2 size 0 shields.
Like i mentioned the data I have is not great.
@@CamuralThe X1 base has no shields anymore, in fact NO gravlev bikes have shields except for the X1 Force.

The same as always, a ship comes out, has a lot of power, cig sells it and then they nerf it. The life cycle of star citizen.

Dont bring this fact up in the echo chamber. First you will get overrun by the cults white knights then cult leadership will will ban your ass. 😂
Do we have enough hover bikes now?
in 3.22 is also a grav lev adjustment

Such a shame, they ruined the gravlev flight model. This is rubbish compared to what it was when John Pritchett was working on it. 😑
@Lambonights bring John Pritchett back :)
I wonder why this ship was in the pipeline so long. Seems like nothing special but the concept went on sale like 20 years ago.

Was that gravlev'ing at max hoover, or mid, or low? Seemed like mid?
@stefanw2500 it was at default altitude, something John Pritchett's 3.1.4 gravlev had no trouble with.
Does it set off the turrets at bunkers?
Are the weapons the same on the x1 as the x1 force😊
@michaelives5729 not in default but you can change them of course.
X1: 1 size 1 M3A Laser Cannon
X1 Force: 1 size 1 Bulldog Laser Repeater
Why does every bloody thing need a gun on it?
Does it fit in the 400i ?
Yea that’s what it’s made for essentially. The front bay on the 400i
CIG did a great job at making the grav lev vehicles suck.
@Travis_Montgomery it is fine if things take longer.
It is fine if progress is slow.
However, it is terrible that we had something *much better* in the past: John Pritchett's 3.1.4 gravlev, killed by the new flight model in 3.5. Even the 3.16 gravlev re-work is terrible.
