Title: How bout that flight model, eh? ;)
Post by: jedi on September 25, 2000, 01:20:00 PM

Hmmm.  New patch out for 3 days, fixes a lot of the complaints, and nobody cares about anything but the stupid language filter?

Sheesh!  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Anyway, haven't tested it a lot, but the knife-edge bug seems to be squashed pretty effectively.  Spins seem to be back to a believable nastiness (at least in the Hog), and IMO the effect of engine torque on yaw is still a bit weak.

At least that's what I think.  Anyway the FM just went back up to pretty dam...er...darn good I'd say  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

 I'd noticed  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)  The changes plus having swapped out the pots on my CH stick on Sunday and I'm a happy pig in sim-heavan.

Yeah, the FM seems to be tuned real well.  Slips bleed E again, enough to be useful and believable.

Kinda wonder about the torque, too, but I have no RL experience to compare.  I guess I took some pride in learning to handle the "old" Hog and Tiffie, so they seem like popsiclecats now.

I guess E retention is more on the numbers now.  Gotta keep one hand on the throttle.  Sure makes for some great fights.   (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Westy, where'd you get the pots from?

Straightforward operation? My stick is a bit spiky, but I still got warranty on it. Still, rather than sending it back I'd risk fixing it meself if I only had pots and knew how.

Any info greatly appreciated.

You know what?

I never had a problem with ANY of the flightmodels.  The only time I ever had any diffictulty was changing from WarBirds to v0.35 beta version (you tought torque was bad, you haven't played v.35beta recently).

I just want treelines, the Sherman M4A3(76)-E8 and the M7 Priest dammnit.

I second your post, both points!

StSanta, right here:

under ONLINE store, spare parts.  Your stick is too new to need pots - in my opinion. course if you thrash it around heavily maybe not.

I third what Hans said.  The Yak is a dream to fly now, but so are they all.  Each FM worked for me, because I didn't get bent about them.  I just played.

It's a game (Doh!  Now I said it  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif))
