Banking Problem
« on: August 30, 2005, 02:48:14 PM »
Hi i have a little problem with banking my planes. Evertime i try to bank or climb i get a stall alarm and i spin out of control and crash. This is an annoying problem but it is a problem no less. Any suggestions?

Put more money in.



j/k  :)





Sorry, I couldnt resist.  Anyway, make sure your throttle is all the way up, make sure your gear is up, etc.  You could also check with the trainers and see what they can do for you.

What he said.

AH2 tries very hard to be as realistic as is possible while stil lbeing fun -- and that can mean major differences from flying "games." Remember that in real planes, lift -- the ability to fly -- comes from forward speed, air moving across teh wing.

Anything you do to change that flow from smooth, even currents can mess up your lift. If you try banking, or if you give the plane rudder, or nose up to climb - yuo better have extra speed on board to amke up for the lift lost.

Short answer -- be fast and you'll get away with more. If you're stalling and spinning every time, you're probably pulling up much too early, before the plaen ahs enough speed to do what you want.

Stall recovery is good practice, becasue once you'r efighting you WILL get into situations where you're on the very edge of losing flight control. Nose down, put stick in the center AND LEAVE IT THERE, Release rudder and wait for speed to build up enough that you're flying again.

With spin -- one wing has stalled befoer teh other one. Throttle down, neutral stick, opposite rudder (IE if your plane nose is spinning to r, give full L rudder), and elevator down (push stick forward). Continue these four until the plane recovers/

Thanks guys ill give that a try. Although i cant playonline anymore because i cant afforsd the fee but i will eventually. One other thing someone told me that ajusting the dead band or death band or what ever its called will fix the problem. Is that true?

Yes. Iit can help when your joystick is too sensitive and spikes. It means you can move your joystick a little before its registered as input on controls.

Add a little deadband (carefully, or you loose too much control) in SETUP>CONTROLS>JOYSTICK>joystick settings.

Another reason for stalling out might be that your moving your joystick too abrubt. Try to be very gentle in every move you make. And listen to you stall horn... it starts going off very low, but builds up in loudness untill stallout (ie current breaks and you start spinning). Practice riding that edge without spinning out of control.

Start with flying wide turns and make them a little tighter every time. Keep your speed up at all times. Depending on the plane speed should be above ~150mph at least (for the beginning).

You can practice flying offline, as you get more comfortable try some aerobatics like flying through the hangars and the like.

Theres always H2H available (no fee) and im sure youll find someone to help you there.
