Title: STICK SCALING - can't believe AH won't remember settings by plane type
Post by: coyote on September 15, 2000, 11:14:00 PM: made this same post about 3 months ago. Seems an obvious, no brainer, and talk about EASY to IMPLEMENT (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif) Gettign real tired of messing with stick scaling sliders every time I change aircraft (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif)

Post by: Citabria on September 15, 2000, 11:40:00 PM: um...

i think the idea is for each plane to fly differently

i fly all the planes w one stick scaling on a worn out sidewinder and they fly fine

Yea......
right......
see.... I think you have flight model confused with stick scaling. MOST of us like different control imput levels for different aircraft.... Like P51 vs Spit....

Post by: Fishu on September 16, 2000, 01:14:00 AM: I wouldn't mind bad of stick scaling per plane either..

Try to fly Me109 and Spitfire with same stick scaling.. either has lack of control input in 109 or too sensitive controls for spitfrie

Post by: Westy on September 16, 2000, 07:35:00 AM: Coyote, why don't you email HiTech directly and ask him? Better yet call him on the phone to his office in Texas. And use the exact same words and inflection you used in this post. See how far you get.

Post by: funked on September 16, 2000, 07:46:00 AM: I've had the chance to poke around the cockpit of a few WW2 fighters and I don't recall seeing any stick adjustments in there.

Post by: Toad on September 16, 2000, 08:41:00 AM: Yeah, Funk, all the WW2 planes had "stick adjusters".

Basically, the apparatus started right below the shoulder of the pilot, extending pretty much straight down to a flexible joint at the mid-point, continuing basically straight to another flexible joint and ending in 5 stalk-like, flexible "graspers" (if you will).

I think every side used them, too. They were all done to the same basic engineering spec as well.

Post by: funked on September 16, 2000, 10:00:00 AM: Oh yeah I forgot that there was usually a stick adjuster on the Mk. I Yoke Actuator. About a foot below the TLAR bomb aiming device.

Just out of curiosity... how many of those fighters were fly-by-wire?

Post by: kbman on September 16, 2000, 01:07:00 PM: I am with Citabria on this, I use a Pre Pro and the thing I like best about it, besides its extreme accuracy, is the fact that you never have to do a thing to it and it works everytime. I have NEVER calibrated it, its automatically self-calibrating, no pots to wear out and digital.

Oh and BTW, I think what Westy was refering to is your lack of social skills. It's something thats painfully obvious to anyone who has ever had any contact with you in the arena... a no brainer...really.

Post by: Hangtime on September 17, 2000, 12:28:00 PM: I fly one airplane. Current system seems to work ok for me. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Hopped into a yak the other day and noticed immeadiatly I needed a new stick scale setup to get the most out of it.

I agree.. it would be nice to see different stick scaling tied to the various plane types.

And I also agree.. different post type vehemence scaling would be nice too. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Post by: Torque on September 17, 2000, 04:30:00 PM: Yeah baby I've always wanted specific stick scaling for different ACs. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif) or at least 4 scale setups!!!!so we could group AC to them.

Roger that torque, When I first asked for this feature a few months back I believe I outlined the best way to implement it. Have 3 or 4 stick scaling configurations saved in some sort of .cfg file, then the player could switch them IN FLIGHT via HOT KEYS (i.e. CONTROL-1 CONTROL-2, CONTROL-3, etc...)

THIS WOULD be GREAT for when your LOSE an elevator or switching from B&Z to T&B mode of flying.
