Maybe my rudder pedals are failing, but often it feels like the rudder controls are sticking when I'm in a violent fight, almost like I'm constantly giving full right rudder. Has anyone else noticed this when your flying slow and aggressively? It appears to have started with the latest patch for me.
Thanks

sounds like torque to me... unless it's actually your pedals. Slow speed + full power on a 109 produces quite a bit of torque.
-
Ardy seems like he has been flying the 109's long enough to know about the torque though. I have only been flying the k4 and haven't noticed anything in that particular plane. I will test out the g14 and let you know if i find anything (although I dont use pedals)
-
yeah, I know about the torque, it usually pulls to the left not the right, thats what threw me off.
If I film it, is there an 'egg' in the film viewer that will show the stick/pedal inputs? this could help clarify whats going on.
-
I haven't noticed anything different in any of the 109s.
-
flew around in the gustav a bit the other day, seemed fine to me
-
Could be me, but It seems more responsive

Perk the G14! Not that I fly it often, except from capped bases...but I haven't noticed anything.

I don't know if you have rudder pedals or not Ardy, but my pedals are getting old and worn out, and they won't go back to center on they're own like they used to, half the time. Could this be the problem?

Thats what I'm beginning to think too. I wish I could see the recorded stick/pedal inputs from a film, that would confirm if its the pedals.

Just go into the clipboard setup next time it happens (even if you die) and click on the rudder axis and click the tab to open up the side flap.
See if the green bar is centered while feet are off, or if it's pegged to one extreme. Would be a big indicator it's hardware and not software.
-
Good idea, I'll try that, it doesn't last for long, only for a couple of sec, is there a quick key to the controls menu?
-
No quick keys, sorry.

Ardy...the answer in in the release notes
you will have to read all of them starting with the first patch when ww1 came out.
its there i promise u. I have read it myself
its about the elevator not the rudder

Open it at the beginning of your flight, then minimize the clipboard. Hit Esc and it'll come right back up.

The release notes, is that the info listed on the information page associated with every patch? Or is there a txt file that goes into more depth?
The possible things I found were...
"The large spinning mass of these engines makes gyroscopic precession a large factor in how these planes fly. With the clockwise rotating engines of these planes, a pitch up movement will create a yaw to the right, a pitch down movement will create a yaw to the left, a yaw to the left will create a pitch down and a yaw to the right will create a pitch up."
This only applies to rotary engines correct (Which a 109 does not have)?
"Fixed a bug that caused transsonic effects not to kick in at that part of the flight envelope."
Transonic stuff only happens when I'm going close to the sound barrier correct?
"Horizontal stabilizers can now be destroyed independently of each other."
I wasn't missing any parts, so my elevator was not busted nor was I missing half of it.
I'm guessing that there is a text file with each release or something with more info....

That I believe was in reference to the rotary engined WW1 kites.
"Fixed a bug that caused transsonic effects not to kick in at that part of the flight envelope."

This I believe is in reference to the bug with planes like the P-38 that were able to exceed their dive speeds without any negative effects.
"Horizontal stabilizers can now be destroyed independently of each other."
I wasn't missing any parts, so my elevator was not busted nor was I missing half of it.
That addition was part of the new damage model that was introduced in the WW2 arenas

Usually the patch notes posted on the forums contains the same information as the patch notes in the text files.
ack-ack
