very well done cobra!! i'm wow'ed. Talk to me about track ir. never tried it. heard from some it made them sick to the stomach and its difficult to "learn" debunk those for me, and i might get very tempted to give it a try.
Thanks for posting your well done film.
hap
Thanks man. I was apprehensive at first about just how it would work and how long it'd take to get used to it. There is a little learning curve, but being able to configure the response curves for each of the axis' to your liking really helps. It took me about a week or so to get totally comfortable with it - well worth the time spent learning/adjusting. I never got motion sickness or vertigo, lol. I'd reccomend putting together a FreeTrack system, cheaper than TrackIR and seems to be just as capable - could always upgrade to a TrackIR if the FreeTrack didn't support a game (although it seems to support all the major flight sim titles).
http://www.free-track.net/english/Outstanding sir. Thanks for using our squadron's skin as well . May i ask do you both fly historical formations? I'd like to ask a couple questions if you don't mind.
We (the LCA) do try to fly some type of loose formation the majority of the time, I'm always glued to someone's wing, I wouldn't call them historically accurate formations though - I can understand that not everyone is going to want to take the time to learn formations and maintaining position - but I enjoy being able to stick to someone, its challenging and it looks pretty slick from the ground or the enemies perspective!
That is a sexy paintjob on the '51 isn't it? I'm a fan of it and the "Blue Nosed Bastards" one (forget the squadron designation).
Wow. I've tried formation aerobatics with my squadron members back in the old days of H2H. We always lost each other in the loops, banks, and turns.
I enjoyed it, nice job!
Haha, yeah it certainly takes a lot of practice, the hardest maneuver to stay with is the barrel roll, as the wing always seems to want to be thrown on the outside, however if it's flown properly by the lead then the wing can stay in position. I primarily use the rudder to maintain lateral positioning instead of the ailerons - try to keep my wings matched with the lead.
Here's some AH film files of some pretty good rolls/loops I did with another guy on the training server, he's a good stick.
