I use shift-x to establish proper trim settings for specific speeds and loadouts, so that I can later manually set them and be accurate at dive-speed for bombing. This is in fact more accurate than the proposed combat trim can ever be, from the basis of objections stated here I supposed we should get rid of x, alt-x and shift-x?
Even in furballs I prefer my trim static, so I know what I'm dealing with in regards to elev and roll. I assume most "advanced" pilots are either in this catagory or like to trim on the fly according to their preferences. I more than likely won't be using combat trim, as it is a system that by design will be inaccurate, but I see it as immensly helpful to the poor guy trying to learn how to fly.
Of course I could be wrong, perhaps we shouldn't be able to magicly hit 'X' and have our plane go in a straight line like us cheaters have been doing.
I have not read the whole thread yet. This is the first response that aligns itself with my thoughts. Well stated Fatty. <S>
Here is the gig....
For so many players, in-security comes out in blantant emotionalistic impulses (Whines). This emotional in-security arrises from the concept "DO NOT CHANGE WHAT I KNOW TOO BE TRUE".
Well sorry, that is total roadkill.
It is BS because in all actual realitity none of it is true. Wake up! It is
ALL an illusion gents. It is
ALL just smoke and mirrors.
Ask yourself, why can I happily live with this tremendously UN-REALISTY FEATURE, but not this other totally UN-REALISTIC FEATURE.
-or-
Is the "reality" just my opinion vs the developers opinion as to just what is MORE REALISTIC and what is LESS REALISTIC.
If HTC had started with "Combat Trim" and then
changed it to "Manual Trim" what then?
Carry On!
