Barrel roll during tutorial

[CrazyTerabyte]

I was playing the tutorial... Then it asked me to practice barrel roll, and so I did... And then I was in the middle of a barrel roll when I passed through a waypoint, and the tutorial dialog come up, and when I got back to the game, the plane didn't finish the barrel roll and continued to fly upside-down.

It seems like a bug for me.


Extra bug: I don't know what I did, maybe shift+tab, but my mouse cursor was visible during the game. It was confusing to have the mouse cursor while I was flying, and also confusing to have the system mouse cursor in addition to the game's own.

Not a bug. It was because you hit down the right button.

me and my gf have both expierienced this crazy mouse bug, i think that it might be slightly related to the jumping of the mouse in the mousemenu.
however i have no clue of what's causing it, also unfortunatly i have no log of any kind at the moment.

Hi, we had a problem before the patch that any Maneveurs done into the Race Markers would make the plane continuosly repeat it when it exited it. Once you hit them now it immediately stops anything you were previously doing so if you were half way through a barrel roll you are going to be inverted when you exit.

Which means... the user will be confused, as the plane will be upside-down, and thus the player will most likely crash his plane...

Any plans to have this fixed?

the user should just hit the revert plane button, plus crashing in the tut doesn't do anything and just restarts that section of the tut

I didn't even know there was such button.

There is something called "user experience"... The user trying the tutorial won't know the game very well, won't know the existence of such "reset plane" button, and will likely be using the "easy control scheme", the one which always keep the plane upright. If somehow it doesn't happen (because of a bug), the user gets confused.

Dying at the tutorial is not that bad... But if the user dies in such "unfair" way, he will be frustrated, and maybe he will "learn" to never use that barrel roll again, because there is a risk to mess up with the controls and then he will die in the middle of a battle.
