Well said SOB

As a warbirder I like AH, and think it's pretty cool. Currently one of the only things keeping me in WB is I'm used to it after 3 years, and early war rides...a6m2, p40, 109e. As AH progresses which it's doing quite often since the beginning, I may come over here to play. Just depends ya know.

Who knows which FM is correct?


For me, the one that allows a Fw190 to change roll direction instantly, instead of lasting for 1-2 seconds.

That is, AH.

Here is another of Rogers excellent paintjobs(I made the terrain by "filling" the green with off whites).

R4M:

Don't understand your issue. You sure easymode wasn't on? 190 has no roll rate problem in Warbirds, its a twirling devil.

Ram1.

Easy mode off, all settings to the highest realism. And the WB's Fw190 roll inertia feels worse than that of a slow P38 in AH. Go figure.

The 190 lasts 1 second before changing rollrate direction. In AH it does it almost instantly. in real life it did it too.


Not in WB, tho. IIRC this was done on purpose to avoid "warp roll" or whatever that was called. Here in AH I've never seen a 190 warping while rolling  .

The day that the WBs rollrate inertia is fixed then I'll give it a serious online try. I promise

Never found an issue with the roll on all 190s on Warbirds and AH, both very precise and instant.
Maybe you got some deadband or a worn joystick issue R4M?

We talking about piston-engined WWII fighter-planes here or fly-by-wire F-16's???

I too find WBIII very unresponsive to stick input compared to even earlier versions of WB, not just AH.  I've seen a few threads over on AGW regarding stick problems, including filtering, dampening, etc.  I wonder if some of us are seeing something most aren't?

Just some dink testing I just finished...

Platform:
PIII 550E Intel,256kRam PC-100,GeforceII Pro-32meg.

Software:Aces High Version 1.06R1
Plane Type:FW190A8 50% fuel, 4X20mm+2X13mm
Element:Wind off, 2000 ft. elevation, Clouds OFF
Engine/Aircraft details: 350 MPH,No wep, clean,auto-trim off,no rudder input.

Test parameters:
2 X rolls time in seconds:
1st test:2 rolls at 6.3 and 6.43 seconds per stopwatch.
2nd test:2 rolls at 6.33 and 6.39 per stopwatch.

Notes:Planes nosed dropped alittle more than Warbirds, seemed center of gravity was forward slightly.

Platform:
PIII 550E Intel,256kRam PC-100,GeforceII Pro-32meg.

Software:Warbirds Version 2.77
Plane Type:FW190A8 50% fuel, 4X20mm+2X13mm
Element:Wind off?, 2000 ft. elevation, Clouds OFF.
Engine/Aircraft details: 350 MPH(converted from KPH),No wep, clean,Easy mode OFF,no rudder input.

Test parameters:
2 X rolls time in seconds:
1st test:2 rolls at 6.82 and 6.85 seconds per stopwatch.
2nd test:2 rolls at 6.90 and 6.86 per stopwatch.

Notes:Planes nosed dropped alittle but Aces High model dropped more.

Conclusion:  Aces High FM rolls slightly faster, however, as a number it looks comparitively similiar, but as a reflex our eye and hand coordination can detect small minute senses as this, thus Rams 'feeling' of being slighly doggish in a roll as 'human sensory perceivable'.

Feelings now, eh?  I do not think that the computer technology, much less your finger on a button is accurate to within 2/10ths of a second, to say nothing of innate bias(not that you have any, Rip, but the variable remains).

I would think that your results are a statistical tie.  The main question is what this has to do with screenshots?
