Are you freakin kidding me

[TheEvilHawk]

I am just curious if the game is programed to take control of my freakin plane and freakin slam it into the freakin ground at 200 freakin mph from slightly moving my freakin joystick. I cant do a freakin thing. 95% of the time when I am trying to turn or get higher I get a message saying I am moving my controls too rapidly, even if I'm not even touching the freakin thing. If this is a part of the freakin game someone freakin tell me so I can freakin uninstall this freakin game.

calibrate in windows. Control panel-Game controls-Properties-Calibrate.
then calibrate in game. clipboard-options-controls-calibrate.
u need to do both.

have a FREAKIN nice day:)

[TheEvilHawk]

Ive done both like 10 times, does no good. its getting worse I cant even freakin takeoff. I get ten feet in the air and the game throws it into the ground.

[Major Biggles]

perhaps if you freakin asked nicely you might get a freakin answer from all these freakin people, who give up their freakin free time to freakin help freakin new guys like you? huh?


sounds like you need to calibrate your stick. have a nice day, sounds like you need one:aok

[Major Biggles]

perhaps you should wait until you're in the air properly. if you're ten feet off the ground, you stick is calibrated and you're spinning into the ground, it's probably because you're yanking on the stick while travelling far to slowly, so you stall and crash.

if not, then make sure your stick is calibrated in windows, and then make sure you calibrate INGAME. if that fails, your stick might be the problem itself.

Yes, this is a game feature... goodbye..  Just kidding, you're using a freaking logitech arent you.

[TheEvilHawk]

sorry for the freakin inconvenience (I cant spell) but this wasnt freakin happening freakin yesterday. This is like the 3rd freakin problem I have had with the freakin game and I dont mean to be freakin rude but I get freakin pissed when I have no freakin idea why my plane crashes into the freakin ground regardless of what I freakin do. It makes me want to punch a freakin hole through the freakin moniter. Now if anyone could give me any advice other than calibrate the freakin joystick, I would kis your freakin toes. Once again, sorry if I am bein freakin rude.

Yeah a Logitech Wingman, my bro said he has heard of people having problems with it on games like this. http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://foto.spullenbank.nl/common/img/00/00/00/21/_T2156.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.spullenbank.nl/rs6/cl.asp%3Faction%3Dbrslt%26c1%3D7%26c2%3D2872&h=374&w=442&sz=21&hl=en&start=13&tbnid=_toLB96XDIkkwM:&tbnh=107&tbnw=127&prev=/images%3Fq%3DLogitech%2BWIngman%26svnum%3D10%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D

Your freakin stick is freakin toast.

Time to pony up some freakin cash and refreakin place it.

[TheEvilHawk]

really? I mean it works perfect on MS Combat Flight Sim (I dunno if this means anything)

Evil - start with auto takeoff set - leave the controls alone until you are up a good ways, hit x twice, it will disengage auto climb and put it on auto leveling.

once your air speed is well over 200, slightly move your stick to disengage the auto leveling aspect.

make slight movements with your stick, i mean slight, barely move it, make slow wide turns, get a feel for it, i would practice this offline first, if still causing quick snap rolls - you are either stalling out - taking up a plane that snap rolls very easily - for instance a 190 - these planes take some getting used to-- start with a spitfire - or a hurricane - very forgiving - go to the training arena- ask for help from a trainer - if no help - go into a main arena - anounce on channel 200 that you are new and would like some help in the training arena - there are many players who are willing to give up their free time to help- plus there are training staff members - try to hook up with one of them - one of my squadies - WMLute - is very helpful - you see him online and throw a request at him for help - NB - another great player to ask - like I said there are many who are willing to help -

Hook up with one of the guys who frequent this board.

you may want to try adding some deadband to your x and y axis. go to the window where you map your stick and highlight either x or y axis. then check the box that says advanced. move the dead band slider up a little. if that doesn't work then buy a new freakin stick.   (just kiddin about the buying a new freakin stick  thing   )

Yep EVIL, sounds to me that you need to set the stick up and recalibrate as well. You may have it set a little too sensitive. try damping it out a bit in game set up.

Also, as has been mentioned before, the logitech stick is basically a piece of crap. For the same price you can get a Saitek EVO which is a much more stable stick and has all the things you need on it.

What you are experiencing is a set up problem and a less than serviceable stick.  Pop into the training arena, there is normally help there.

Also, what Biggles said is true. Let the A/C get some speed before you start yanking and banking. It will fly if you let it.

Now....take a nice deep breath and have a freak'n happy day!;)

cheers,

I had a Logitech Wingman extreme. Never would stay in calibration. Ended up junking the useless thing. Worst money I ever spent.

[FBplmmr]

I have logitech extreme3d pro.. rudder has to be recalibrated constantly or it flaps around like a freakin thing that freakin flaps around alot.
