Do you use stall limiter?

[moot]

last I heard Stall limiter was only enabled for the first two weeks.

[Ack-Ack]

I use auto-take off because most of the times I end up going AFK as soon as I hit the runway.  Thinking that using auto-take off is some sort of crutch is pretty lame, like someone mentioned earlier, this is a flight sim, not a take off sim.

I do not use Combat Trim, especially in the P-38 (it's useless in the Lightning) as it's far easier to use manual trim but YMMV.

As for the stall limiter, anyone that uses this puts themselves at a disadvantage because it gains you absolutely no benefits.  It will prohibit you from flying your plane on the edge of the envelope.

I use auto-take off for the same reason akak stated
I have combat trim toggled to off by default.  Under rare conditions in certian planes I may turn it on from time to time.
There is a stall limiter? Why for hevans sake?

Which is also exactly how it should be.

It's the folks that suggest that anyone that uses auto takeoff should "just go play Quake" as if manual takeoff is some sort of "quien es muy macho" rite of passage into the inner circle of the third ring of the secret guild of superior pc pilots that make me laugh.

[Flyboy]

you are all dweebs for using auto trim

[Hajo]

No stall limiter

No combat trim

[acepilot2]

Don't use any of the 3.

I did for the first two weeks of playing this game 2 years ago but then i turned them off.

I might turn off combat trim except I'd have to memorize the rudder trims needed for each plane, and that's a pain in the ass.  Flying the rudder trimmed the wrong way would just piss me off as well.  All that matters is

hit sprites.

All off here. More fun.

Well, having defined use of the stall limiter as dweebery, I suppose I can't expect too many to own up to it.

I'll try turning off that combat trim to see what difference it makes.

Otherwise for trimming, I have my thumb buttons set up - one to trim on angle, the other to trim on speed. Many times when flying a compressing 109, I've been in danger of flying into the deck. My salvation has been to hit the trim on speed button, which retrims my plane causing it to pitch up much more quickly than if yanking the stick. As Nopoop is here, I've even included a short film showing this. Below 5K at 400+mph in a 109G, there is always a risk of lawndarting. I nearly bought it in this film - and would have done but for trimming on speed.

Film for Nopoop! (it's only a few seconds long)

Ditto.

The Stall limiter is a newbie training tool to lessen the learning curve and to use it is hardly dweebish.  If you use the Stall Limiter is doesn't gain you anything over the person that doesn't use it.  The person that doesn't use the stall limiter has the advantage over the person that uses it since the player will be able to fly his plane to its limits while the guy with the stall limiter can't.  If the stall limiter was like the EZ mode setting in the old WB, then it would be considered dweebish but it doesn't.

I use auto-takeoff on the initial takeoff, unless flying from a CV. I use combat trim to some degree, but always turn it off when flying the auger monsters (P-38, 109s and so on) as they respond better to manual trimming.

I don't use stall limiter simply because it limits more than stall, it eliminates dancing on the edge, something I have to do often.

My regards,

I've never even tried the stall limiter.

I do not use auto take off, though I really don't have a problem with people who do.  I simply enjoy manually taking off.

I use combat trim by default, but have all trim commands mapped to my rotaries for when I want to use them.

Beetle,

In WB's the easy mode was a diff flight model, it could do things that the full flight model couldn't.

The stall limiter here gives NO one an advantage,  its only advantage is to get new people into the air faster without crashing & dieing.  Its not going to help anyone win a fight.  HT designed it that way from the ground up.

As to CT, thats a whole nother can of worms.  Its all about how you prefer to trim or even if you prefer to trim. While CT may get you close, its never going to be as good as manually trimming.
