Author Topic: Flight model changes since ver 1.08? (Read 268 times)

This is purly subjective, I've done no testing, nor would I know how to go about testing it (I'll have a go if any one has suggestions), but since the last update combat trim seems less accurate (leading even me to have a go at doing it manualy) and auto-coordination in turns seems less, particularly in the SpitV and La - 5.

Any one else notice anything, or should I smoke less and calibrate more?

I've noticed the same Seeker, I've found myself fighting CT....

I've noticed no differences with CT performance in the Spit V.

I'm really not sure, Todd, it could be that I'm just going through a bad patch and looking for excuses, but I got the "don't move your "controls so rapidly" message three times tonight in a Spit-V, something I've only ever read about before; nor have I had to trim nose down and aerliron left for level flight before and I certainly don't remember the La-5 needing so much rudder iput (judging by the ball instrument) prior to the latest patch.

I can't speak to the La5, but the Spit V feels exactly the same to me. The things that have changed are lower framerates and generally more warping with 1.08 -- the sorts of things that abet receiving a "Do not move your controls so rapidly" warning in my experience.

Seeker,

Did you check your calibration? I had this problem and found my rudder was a bit off center.

I've noticed that the P-38 can take a ping without the tail falling off.

Tis may or may not help but I have found tgt after every patch I must perorm a thorough re-calibration of my CH gear.
