Sorry if this has been brought up before...yes I did a search. I have been using the trial offer for the past week or so. Today I went ahead and subscribed, jumped into a Spit VIII and right away it seemed different (more difficult) than flying the same aircraft in the trial version. Same thing happened when I jumped into a Corsair.
Is it just me or is trial memberships setup to make flying easier in order not to turn off potential customers?
Just curious.
-
did you maybe have stall limiter turned on?
-
I turned off stall limiter the 2nd day into my trial as well as the other assist(s).

It is just you. Same program, same settings.
We all have good and bad days, even good and bad weeks. One tour I excel, then I suck for days without end.

As Lusche put it, we have good days and bad. It could possibly be just the pressure that you're now paying for this game.
Sit back, relax, and try to have a good time. It's (mainly) A great community, no doubt in my mind. :)

There is absolutely no difference.

AND.....Welcome to HTC :)

Let the fun begin.
Welcome!

Welcome aboard.
Check to see if you have combat trim turned off. It's on by default but you may have accidentally turned it off. The old sticks don't use it but you'll probably need it for awhile. Someone can tell you the key combination but there was a light on the instrument panel.

Thanks for the info all. Hope you don't think I was complaining or trying to stir something up, was just curious. I do indeed have combat trim turned off but it was off while I using the trial as well. I have a Saitek X45.
Which reminds me, and maybe I should start another thread for this, but is there a way to import someones controller/key settings? Like if I found someone who also had a X45 and they sent me their settings for me to try...is that possible?
Thanks again, I have a lot of work and learning to do. Fun stuff!

Not a problem Supaf1y. Yes you can import settings. What you do is click start then my computer then click on C drive then program files then on the HTC folder Then on the AcesHigh II folder in there you will see a settings folder If you have another copy of this folder just replace it with the one you want. Also I find it a good idea to back up your old settings folder I just rename mine to settings B. Hope this helps and welcome to AcesHigh.

All in your head my friend,
Maybe you ran into some clueless dolts who made you look good. There are enough of them ;)
Hang with the tough crowd and the game comes to a whole new level!
-
Just be gald that you don't suck every day. It's a daily occurance for me:(
-
Also, learn how to get the most out of the view system including the 8-way hat switch and head positions.

Sounds good. Now I just need to find someone that uses a X45.

Good advice although I will be purchasing TrackIR soon as it seems to be a very nice tool to have in this type of sim.

It is a ballance issue, when you were playing the free trial your wallet had $15.00 in it, then you signed up and paid the man $15.00, now your wallet is out of ballance and your off a bit. Or like everybody else says, it's all in your head. Welcome

Bergy, I would like to do more research into your explanation of why flying felt different after I parted with my $. If you would like me to help prove your theory then please PM me so that I can give you my address so that you can send the test subjects to me. ;)

Welcome to the addiction... Watch out for that wife/kid ack, it's more deadly than an LTAR in an ostwind!
:aok

You know, it's funny.. I think I kind of know what he's talking about. Not the trial/subscription difference, but..
Well sometimes when I up a plane.. it simply feels 'heavier' than usual. Seems to require a bit more up elevator and seems a bit slower... almost like it's lugging around twice as much fuel.
It also seems when the planes fly like this, shortly after I get a disconnect. Basically, when I'm having a 'bad internet' day, the planes fly like this.
When they fly very light and maneuverable, then I almost never get a disco.
I guess it's latency related somehow .

I figured out what it was. For some reason my controller went out of calibration after I signed up for paid membership. The timing was probably just coincidence but after recalibrating this morning and then taking to the air all was well.
Went in to late war, I think, and scored my first 2 kills. I was shot down once and the 2nd chap I pumped full of holes collided with me so I had to bail. Fun, fun & fun!
On a side note I have been wondering what aircraft to start out with until I get better and I think I have made a decision...Spit VIII. :aok

Lol, I was about to tell you that. I presume you have SST installed, thus, you can't calibrate the stick in Windows anymore... it self-calibrate, but from time to time you have to calibrate it again using the game calibration tool. It happens with my X52, too.
Welcome to AH, you'll never get rid of it! :D
-
I have to recalibrate my Saitek stick every time I sign on. :(
-
Red get a powered USB hub. That will help a lot.

I have had that same experience. The thing is AH takes so much more from the player than almost any other video game. This makes different flights seem like different games when you get tired, bored, mad, stressed, etc. That is what I love about it. I never get killed by the guy who is saying, "Ahhh... whatever... I am just running around shootin' people."
