After playing this update for 2 days I am starting to wonder if you guys made any changes to the guns on the buffs.
I have been literally hosed on for 2 days now. I have been putting out a lot of hits on fighters that come up behind me and just wax the tar out of me. I have taken wings off of planes and they go down and I dont get any kill message. Also I have the idea that the scoring is screwed up on the web page. I have never shot down 3 buffs in my buff. Tonight the score said I shot down 2 of them when I checked before. Sure, I know I shot down some planes I didn't get credit for, but I did not shoot down any b17's in my buff. I think I would have remembered that.
Also, I have noticed that the settings seem backwards to me in the stick setup for roll and yaw. I use a ms pre pro, with twist rudder. I set roll, ie, stick right and left, to full deadband, full damp, and my yaw is dead. I do the same for yaw, and my roll goes dead. And yes I know that my MS pre pro uses twist for rudder, i.e. yaw and my right/left for roll. Gee's theres a lot of freaking experts in the game.
Got any ideas? Yes, many experts on the game say it works correctly, but we are talking microsoft here.
I have tried this several times and it always does the same thing.
Also, since the update yesterday, my stick has goine totally screwy. I was to the point of flying fighters where I could make a few passes before getting killed. Now I try and make one stupid turn and I go into the spiral of death again.
Got any ideas? And yes, of course, as always, I have tried my stick in several other stupid lame bellybutton games and it works fine. Just that after all these weeks playing this game I have hoped that it would have gotten better. After tonight, I really feel like pissing this game away and not coming back. Too many other MS people have had problems here to blow this one off as a mere setup problem. Something is fishy here.
When I fly a buff I have to adjust my deadband and dampers on my roll to get any rudder control. And all the experts know that you need yaw, i.e. right and left turning, to bomb correctly. Then when I try, i say try, to fly a fighter, i hvae to go almost full deadband and full damper on my "ROLL" so I dont go into a death spiral right away from a over producing rudder input. Im just venting so bear with me. I'm totally frustrated right now.
Also, I bailed from my b17 3 times and, to all the bathroom experts, I know about pressing the stupid O key to open my chute. When I bailed, my chute opened by itself and I sped to the ground in a freefall. I could look in all my views and I could see my chute deployed. I thought it was open but died each time..
Thanks for putting up with my whining in the game. Frustration is building up from my stick and I'm not going to buy another one just to play this game, when it works fine in every other stupid game I have ever played before,during and probably, after this one.
One more observation from a whinny whinny free ride non paying beta player. Seems to me the server is really in need of a tune up. I have been witnessing a lot of warping, no, more like skipping going on.
Yes Zoomski, your ship, the only one out of 3 knight planes, was the only one doing it. I don't really think it was me because other people were noticing it also. If somebody should ever tell me that I am warping, I believe that I have the decency to reconnect and not blame it on the other person saying, "my beacon is green..must be you"
Packet loss is packet loss. And yes, I exited the game and reconnected to my ISP and to Aces High.
Again, sorry about this venting but I'm really frustrated.
