Title: Tighter controls?
Post by: swift on April 13, 2010, 02:22:23 AM
Has anyone else noticed since the patches that controls seem a bit more touchy? Haven't changed any of my settings but I've been snapping a lot today. Maybe just an off-day, but wondered if anyone else was experiencing this as well.

I feel that I have been stalling a lot more. 

Could be ham handedness on my part.  Witnessed an enemy Ki-84 go into a flat spin at 5k altitude and spin into the ground.  Haven't seen that too often.

Yep, i thought it was because i switched sticks, but i had to go in and callibrate (still workin on it) the dead band on my stick, never had to really worry about it before.

 My issue is that it tends to "snap" as soon as i roll, vehicles dont seem to have changed a bit. :joystick:

I had the same feeling, I even checked if scaling had been disabled inadvertently.
But I'm still blaming my current lack of flying time for that.

I also found myself calibrating just to be sure...  Maybe just a little loose in the corners...

I was on a roll the other night in JUGS, not sure if it was change in controls or just luck.  If it's the quicker controls causing me to fly better, than I really hope HTC leaves them alone.  :joystick:

  Yes something has changed just a tad.  The other day I had several fights in my A6M5-B and 2 of 3 times we got slow and it stalled really bad and flop into the water.   I've never had it stall out so much before.  My guess would have to be something to do with the elevator when the tail was changed for the improved damage model.   It feels like it's giving more deflection when I pull back than it used to and over I go.

I found the zero a little touchy the other day put it down to me being a little rusty,

seemed to want to be wrestled with a bit more to stop snap stalling.

The only problem I found after one of the updates (patch 4) was the dive speed bug with the P-38s.  Other than that, the P-38 handled just as she always did.

109 and 190s both seem touchy too.  i just figured was time for a new logitech 20 doller stick again but maybe not.

I took part in one of the "whole arena discos" on the second combat challenge. When I came back in I had lost some, not all, of
my mapping on my CH stick and I needed to recalibrate. Never had that happen before. I also had to go look up my password
because somehow that box got unchecked. Weird                  :headscratch:

Corsair seems a bit more agile than what I am used to but I don't know for sure since I was doing well avoiding getting killed but wasn't really able to get a good shot on planes and only ended up with assist after assist.

Feels the same to me

The only problem I noticed was that initially after the new version was released I was getting a TON of rudder spiking that kept me constantly having to recalibrate, otherwise it kept bouncing me out of auto level/auto-climb.

On an unrelated note, I upgraded my Power Supply shortly after and the problem vanished entirely, so it probably wasn't the game update but a VERY weird coincidence....

What I AM noticing now is a return of an issue I had about the time of the terrain update where the game was jumping when looking around or turning (it eventually resolved itself after a couple patches). It doesn't appear to be a FR issue, as that maintains a steady 58-59 (VSynch is left on) the entire time it does this, but rather it was a regular smooth/jump/smooth/jump/smooth/jump.... pattern as I panned my view (TrackIR) or turned my plane. I've also been seeing the overcast layer appear and disappear at random.

The jumping returned with the initial update. The vanishing cloud layer began with the patch released this past Friday.

And here I was thinking I had to lay off the booze so early in the morning.  I've noticed a definate change.  I feel like I've got to add more rudder than ususal.  Very strange indeed.

Planes are flying different...no doubt.  I am heavy handed on the stick and I never had much success in the F4U's but now their roll rate seems to have improved greatly.  I still suck in them but I can see light at the end of the tunnel!! lol.  On the other hand, all the Spits seem to roll better which is great for all of them but the 16....the 16 feels like it rolls so quickly it will flip in a tight, flat turn.  It never did that before.  My stick movements, vertically seem to produce a stair-stepping effect going up instead of smooth flight.

Nope, nothing different for me. The P51 is still the same lame piece of crap it's always been  :(

Or maybe it's just the pilot..i don't know  :cry
