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.

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.
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

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.


 :airplane: Yes definitely has changed.

Seems mushy to me like combat trim is half on.

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.

 :rofl  Actually, I'm not looking forward to it.  I love it when people flip me off first thing in the morning.

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
