dont move my controls so rapidly?!?!?!!
« on: April 07, 2010, 10:56:07 AM »
OK not sure if many people get this very often but I do a lot due to I fly using a mouse and not a stick like the majority, I don't use one simply because I preferr to use a mouse and can't be bothered buying a stick
Can we please remove this, remove it only for people that use mouse or make it harder to receive the penalty? I've been shot down too many times because of this  :furious

Don't move the mouse so fast...if you use a laser mouse drop the sensitivity to the lowest setting...and you should be using a solid color smooth mouse pad. Or, buy a joystick.

The message is there to warn you about trying to send inputs faster than they could physically be sent by any pilot or faster the plane could react to.

I think life would probably be a little easier with a joystick, even a relatively inexpensive one.  That being said I know a few players who are ardent mouse users and are quite effective in AH. 

You can take a look at this article off the trainers website and try experimenting with some of the settings till you find something you're happy with.

I have been getting this alot more frequently than I used to.  I havent changed my flying style or anything, same stick, no changes that I can tell, and its been happening alot since the last patch.

You HAVE to take it to the next level and get yourself a stick.......  At least a stick.  Listen to Soulyss & for the time being, gyrene81 makes a valid point.  Logitech makes a $15 USD stick called Attack 3 or something like that.  Your ability will increase quite significantly after you start having more controls at your fingers.  

What do you currently use for throttle control?

I haven't had a problems since the patch.   :aok

It has nothing to do with any patch we have released.

 If you can't be bothered to buy a stick, then why should HTC be bothered to listen to you?

I got this a lot when I bought a more sensitive mouse. ( :mad:)  Not HTC's fault, just mine.

Recalibrate your stick in Windows and AH if you're getting this message when you previously weren't.  This usually a sign that your joystick's potentiometers are either out of calibration or dying which is causing spikes that in return result in the don't move controls rapidly error message.

I have done this and it's helped for the time being cheers :)

Plus and Minus keys, not overly bad
for a little I used the throttle on a friends stick and still flew with mouse :P

I dont mind the message saying that, but does it really have to lock up the control surfaces?
