skinners Posted February 9, 2007 Posted February 9, 2007 I've been playing patched up version of flaming cliffs for a couple of days now and all of a sudden Russian planes can't stay leveled. This only happens if a stick or game pad is plugged in. Don't know if this is even a bug, maybe that's how the Russian planes behave however this wasn't happening only a few hours ago. Anyone came across something similar? P5b-E rev 1.0; E6600@3GHz; Tuniq 120; Kingston Hyperion 2GB; Gigabyte 7600GT Silent Pipe II; WD Raptor 150GB; Vantec 500W PS
skinners Posted February 9, 2007 Author Posted February 9, 2007 Are you trimming the plane as your airspeed increases/decreases? The Rus jets need constant trimming. I am confused now. Perhaps some trimming was required, but never this much. P5b-E rev 1.0; E6600@3GHz; Tuniq 120; Kingston Hyperion 2GB; Gigabyte 7600GT Silent Pipe II; WD Raptor 150GB; Vantec 500W PS

It all goes back to normal once I remove the stick (unplug it). P5b-E rev 1.0; E6600@3GHz; Tuniq 120; Kingston Hyperion 2GB; Gigabyte 7600GT Silent Pipe II; WD Raptor 150GB; Vantec 500W PS

This must be a bug since I didn't encounter this before. P5b-E rev 1.0; E6600@3GHz; Tuniq 120; Kingston Hyperion 2GB; Gigabyte 7600GT Silent Pipe II; WD Raptor 150GB; Vantec 500W PS
SuperKungFu Posted February 9, 2007 Posted February 9, 2007 no its not, you have to learn how to trim the aircraft. remember, the Russian planes do not have auto trim. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

I wonder why it didn't occur earlier. P5b-E rev 1.0; E6600@3GHz; Tuniq 120; Kingston Hyperion 2GB; Gigabyte 7600GT Silent Pipe II; WD Raptor 150GB; Vantec 500W PS
Vekkinho Posted February 12, 2007 Posted February 12, 2007 skinners, perhaps your joystick / gamepad isn't calibrated properly... IRL Russian jets need constant trimming and planes like MiG-29 and Su-27 are made for hi AoA flights. Don't be confused by a aircraft datum on your HUD. It is not FPM like on USFOR jets, it's more like gunpoint (marks your nose position). Angle of attack is angular difference between 0 degrees line on your HUD ladder and datum displayed. To tell exact direction of flight you need to take a closer look to VVI gauge and AoA gauge. MiG-29 @ 800 km/h in level flight has 3-4 deg AoA meaning that direction of pitot boom is elevated 3-4 deg from flight direction. If you accelerate during level flight plane will start to climb and if you bleed off plane will dive... Cheers! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

bonogun Posted March 16, 2007 Posted March 16, 2007 its stick/bug I know what he's talking about, I've had it happen flying non russian craft as well. I just restart the game and it's controllable again.
