Thanks Zippa,

 I have yet to do any stick scaling at all in any sim or make any adjustments for that matter but this is too frustrating.

I'll give the deadband and dampening a few tweaks and see what I can get.

Thank for the help, I was going (am going) outta my mind with it.

Kanth,

It may be a problem with the way your joystick is set up.  I have heard a similar complaint from another new flyer.  The dead band and dampening fields were set too high as well as the calibration arc being way off.  See if you can hit one of the trainers up in the TA or if you see me online I can try and help.

It’s a lot easier to hit a moving target with fluid reactions from the controls.


We now take you back to the, whatever the hell this thread is…

If this is "the" Kanthy I think it is, look out, a new hotstick is here in the likes of Fester, Nath, Fishu and Leviathan. Many a time I saw her buried deep in doo-doo and come out alive with a handful of scalps.

I don't normally get done 'til late (10:30-11:00pm most nights), and I just don't feel like flying then. I will get out there soon, though.

What country are you flying? Or have you been on a tour? :)

I've flown Knights and Bish so far, I really have no preference it just depends on who's flying where and who wants company really :)

I'm up for Rooks as well or whatever, I just generally wander around :)

I will keep my eye out for ya.

Apache is a great wingman- I've had some of my best flights with him. Lazs is pretty good too, despite all the grief guys give him here. ;) They were flying Rooks last time I was on, but that has been about a month ago.

Have a look here for some good tips on scaling your stick Kanth. Helped me out quite a lot when I started flying.

Sorry Kanth, you don't qualify to this thread. Here you must express your opinions on planes and people who fly them. Something like "...pilot XXX sucks because he BnZs...", "...plane YYY stinks because it has long nose...". You should also add words like "boring", "dweeby", "un/skilled", "versed", "interesting", "owned", "retarded".... all in cause of good argument and self promotion :)


Mandoble, DMF, Nath, Creamo, pleaso go on. This is some funny stuff ;).

Ah, Hristo has poked his head in to spout off inanities again.  You should know by now, Hristo, that I do not care what a person flies, nor do I care how he or she flies it no matter how boring that way of flying might be to me personally.  What I do care about is someone who makes false claims about the difficulty of one plane relative to others who then uses this "fact" to paint himself as "better" or "more skilled."  Skill is not a component of the plane one flies, and it's idiotic to suggest that flying a Dora... one of the easiest planes in AH to fly... somehow grants one greater skills than someone who flies Spits, Yaks, La7s, or N1Ks.

Please mention Fishu again.  I get worried when I don't see him mentioned at least once in one of your posts.

Is this a good time to point out that the Dora should probably be perked.  It's high K/D merits it.  And HTC could add an unperked version of the Dora (minus the MW-50).

So that means the Spit is gonna be perked first, :)
