Flight dynamics changed ???

[Silver]

ok reinstalling the game from scratch has fixed it. I think something got corrupted when it crashed or I screwed with some setting I should not have. Flys "normal" again now with stall limiter off. Strange. ......... now I gotta remap my joystick buttons, ugh.
Thanks for the ideas and feedback. See you in the skies.

As they should.  Full aft stick is part of the snap roll entry.  With normal C of G full aft stick should produce a stall at any speed.  Don't see an issue.

But was more than that. The stalls and subsequent spins were freakishly quick and unpredictable and recoveries were strange to nonexistent. Something was definitely wacked out.

No worries. Reinstall did the trick

So your theory is that a spiking potentiometer is causing the stick to give full deflection when he pulls it all the way back? Isn't there a simpler explanation?   

No, it was suggested when he mentioned 'sudden onset', this implied a change external to his flying. I think you are all being very uncharitable to less experienced players and should consider your ways  


Glad that you've got it fixed Silver, you're lucky it's not your pots!  LACES OUT!!!

I can vouch that sometimes old pots will do that. If wires get pinched or the pot starts going bad, it will skip the mid ranges and "jump" to high. Sometimes I've had rudders that with minimal deflection would spike full and back several times before settling. I've had pedals also that have some funky jittery-ness in them.

I don't mean to say I know what's going on here (sounds like the stick scaling got screwed up), just that I know this can happen from my own direct experience.

I've found that none of this really matters if you hit a tree.

Thats an awesome vid.  Did somebody say something about the flight models?

LOLOL...What a save! Ridiculous that people are driving that fast in those conditions, let alone switching lanes at those speeds.

Actually the only thing ridiculous there was that he tried to do it in an old Lada with summer tires. With proper winter tires it's a no brainer.
