Author Topic: P38 Stutter (Read 386 times)

Ok, I have had this problem since day one with the P38, and this has been the primary reason I have not made this plane my predomint plane of choice. When I am flying the 38, I get little stutters in the flight movement. In flat turns, when firing guns, varying times, but consistent results. Its not terrible, nothing like warping, just like "hiccup" type skips.

I am running a P4 1.8 with 256MB RDRAM and a GF2 Ultra 64MB. I had the same problem with my 1.2AMD Tbird with same video card. Anyone else having problems like these? How did you solev them? This a video card thing you think? I am getting like 70 fps when in the 38, so I wouldnt think so, but what do I know.

do you use customized sounds?

have you tried it with the default sounds?

I had a custom 109 sound file caused the same thing.

Have you formatted that hard disk ever since you installed the new parts?
And are you using custom sounds?

Yes, I have formatted HD recently (its brand new actually). And yes, I am using custom sounds. I'll check on that, I bet that might be it!

Thanks guys!

I noticed the same thing tonight, and this on a rig freshly formatted, AH install, current drivers, etc. No custom sounds, either. I won't P-38 much as a result.

try emptying your nose art folder, use a different gunsight, use default sounds...?

You mean your 38 is the one doing the movement or the con you're following?

You flying with combat trim on? The 38 Ctrim many times ups and lowers the elev in the middle of turns, making your jstick input be "more" than you wanted to, making you do a little "snap turn" for half a second. Royally messes up aiming. Dont use Ct.

Hmm...interesting Tac. I do use CT with P38, I'll give her a try without it. Its my plane thats doing the wiggling, not the nme. I think mebbe the custom sounds might be playing intot his as well though.

Only Newbies and Sailors use CT.

Thats odd, cause Im neither a newbie or a sailor

Wasnt Nimitz a sailor?

aknimitz · « **Reply #10 on:** January 24, 2002, 01:07:15 AM »

Nimitz was an Admiral yes, but my Nimitz is after the Carrier Class. And besides Animal, I know sometimes you get confused, but Nimitz is not really me. I am Paul. I am not a sailor

Nim, er...Paul

I thought the walrus was Paul

It's definitely twitching for me, and it is the only plane that does so (that I've found, anyway). It makes fine adjustment for shooting quite difficult.

Kieren, Do yo use CT? Do you have custom sounds for the P38? YOu might try going to default sounds, this actually seemed to help. Additionally, taking CT off seems to help as well.

No custom sounds, no CT, fresh install and patch. Latest drivers in all areas. Optimized settings, Vsync on, etc.
