Rudder "fix". What do you think?

Post by Frantish »

During the trouney I was watching with a DB-7 and decided to try the "new" rudder.

It utterly SUCKED.

During the Beta I asked DOC why he altered the bombers rudder, he said check out the fighters (did not like it much either).
What you think?

I have Rudder pedals, to be honest m8...I haven't noticed much difference. But that maybe just me.

It's not the bombers, the P38 and 110 suffer to, its something to do with the twin-engine aerodyanmics. They flop WORSE than before, I can actually get more roll response at low speed out of my twisty than I can the X axis!

You know what its like with game mechanics, you fix one thing but break another in the process!

You guys tried the old rudder fix?

This is mine that I still use for the P39

The file is called p39d1.calib is located in my Data folder along with the cfml files and has the following data in it:

0x81000005,0.000000,1.004000,0.360000,1.500000
0x82000005,0.000000,1.004000,0.360000,1.500000

File name must match the plane's name!

Not wanting to teach any1 to suck eggs here...I don't even know if this still works, but I'm guessing it does!

Names of planes just in case you want to give it a go!

So that's it!!! Man, I thought my j/s settings had gotten all screwed up. Everything I flew yesterday was flopping around like crazy with very little rudder input.

I've got to spend some time offline tweaking my settings and trying to play with deadbands and fullbands and the like.

Glad its not just "me"

Hmm, i never created any custom settings, rudder is more slow on input but I like

Main said he didn't notice anything strange with his pedals either. I certainly noticed it with the twist rudder on my X-52. I spent 20 mins offline and have the Rz axis tweaked now so seems much better.

They've modified the flight model on the Ju52. It feels like a DB7 with a third engine and no bombs.
