Is it just me or the FM changed a bit ?
« on: April 10, 2000, 05:58:00 AM »
I noticed that Torque was more "present" than before at low speed in the 190...

Man augered 3 times after nice flights... 2 times in Tiffy & once in FW190...

I was about 20 ft of the runway  

Also noticed that if you use Full Rudders in the Typhoon, you STOP DEAD ! Got Dingy to overshoot me nicely like that yesterday...gave him a "Kinder chocolate" filled with 20mm's  

I mean you STOP DEAD , was at 300 IAS at 5K alt, and went to 120 IAS in less than 3/4 seconds while flying level  

(I wish Dingy has a webcam so I could have seen his face....imho, I was as surprised as he was, LOL !)

yes Torque has that tendancy to find the worst possible moment to come in with Big Blue and tear you to bits  
Fester was my in game name until September 2013

Overshoot?  I did that on purpose since I never overshoot by accident.  I do it all on purpose to give you that false sense of security the next time we fite.  Yeah..thats the ticket...false sense of security.

Seriously - rudder working like an airbrake way out of reality. It's been like that since the start I think.

Anyone tried to pull a barrel roll? 10,000lbs moving at 300 kts -down to 200 before you get on top .

Yep, they did make some minor changes to flight models to make them fit the data posted on the webpage.

Bloom, my bad.  I posted in the news that I was going to do this, but didn't get to it.  It'll have to wait for the next version.

on the whole I appreciate the energy depletion coming fast but yes the barrel roll defense is now a bad move, too often you lose engagement because energy has dropped terribly. rudder should  have an effect but not so drastic ...
