element1108 Posted December 5, 2010 Posted December 5, 2010 Yeah ny fps is at 60 in Rise if flight. A-10c only gives me 30 What are your frame rates in Black Shark? Rise of Flight when released was hardly playable, they've patched and optimized loads since then. A-10C being still in beta won't give you final optimized fps no matter what.
TAIPAN_ Posted December 5, 2010 Posted December 5, 2010 I get 60 in black shark and fc2. A tip for rise of flight. Put reflection and shadows and shaders medium. Put aa to 2 or off. Turn off post effects. It will still look good That is 60fps for me at 2560x1600 but I have high shadows. Pimax Crystal VR & Simpit User | Ryzen CPU & Nvidia RTX GPU | Some of my mods
WynnTTr Posted December 6, 2010 Posted December 6, 2010 This game is a challenge. Flying these crates with wings sure ain't A10 or BS. I've rediscovered the joy in pure dogfighting though. Been playing with modern aircraft too long now and forgotten how to actually mix it up in a furball. The game is frustrating and exhilarating at the same time. I'm just learning the characteristics of the planes and boy is it different... even to a WWII era plane. Re-learning how to zoom'n'boom properly again and almost there. Haven't quite got it down but it'll 'click' into place one of these days. Until then I'll just have to suck up the spins, erratic turning behaviour, getting out-maneuvered and shot down constantly.... and this is in single player. Having said that though, I'm having a blast learning. I'm sure it'll be like the first time I played BS - the learning curve and adjustment period was vertical, but once you know everything and mastered the craft, the sense of accomplishment will be just as high.

As soon this 2.01 campaign jump out of the box i gonna buy it. Or at max january once i know in which state my finances are.:D AFAIRemember (Red baron), those time where very diferent even from WW2. You could go too fancy or they would just break apart, Hi Lo Hi zoom and boom was unparralled and really efficient tactic, U turn with tail slide where really efficient, too. Damn even landing without fubaring those match boxes was a challenge in the begining!!! And all that without hotas or track ir. Would be cool if you could skin those planes.

TAIPAN_ Posted December 8, 2010 Posted December 8, 2010 Yeah I've been through all the various fighting types with these and several favourite planes. I've chosen boom n zoom in the end as it's the most long term satisfaction and the most survivable form of fighting. In the real war, even if the aircraft could turn well I don't believe they sat there doing donuts I think they took their shots and if the fight started getting towards the ground they ran back home to survive another day. SE5a was my favourite BnZ plane for a while as it's the fastest but it has 2 big problems: a) tendency to over-rev in dives even with throttle back b) rigged for lots of nose-up, means when injured you don't have the strength left to push forward on stick so you can not fly level to get home. Result is they catch you. So now I prefer SPAD, it's rugged, the fastest diver in the game, can take loads of abuse and still fly. It's gun position is also very stable and accurate compared to the SE5, and it seems to have a high rate of fire too. It performs well even up to around 2500metres, and if you get bounced by a D7f up there just do an inverted dive to cut the petrol to the engine. If he follows he will rip off his wings which is great to watch :) For german side BnZ, it's a high altitude affair. Up above 2000m the D7f does reign supreme, with altitude throttle. But on the deck even the camel can catch the D7f. The pfalz D12 is faster but turns and rolls terribly so is just a hit and run plane. The fokker D.VIII is a rotary energy fighter, so can perform a bit lower down but it's not as fast as the Spad/SE5a however it can turn better. Camel and turners are fun as well for a good adrenaline rush, but for me nothing beats a roaring engine and toying with an enemy from above in a plane he can never hope to catch vertically.

WynnTTr Posted December 8, 2010 Posted December 8, 2010 Yeah, have to relearn BnZ.. No matter what I try something goes wrong and the huns always manage to stay on my six. At this stage it almost seems as if they can keep up with me when I climb. It's just boils down to me not knowing the limitations of these WWi era planes. Might fly the German side cos I'm much more of a turn'n'burn player.
TAIPAN_ Posted December 8, 2010 Posted December 8, 2010 If you're enemy is a D7f at high alt, or a Dr1 at any alt, then their speed is not that much slower. For those two you only attack twice then extend. If they have turned right onto you then you have to dive as they can't follow you without wing damage (D7f), or engine damage (Dr1). Rolling into inverted dive tricks them into thinking that you are split S coming back, but the neg G from pushing forward on the stick does you a favour by cutting you fuel to your engine so it doesn't over-rev. When you roll out and keep extending into a climb the revs come straight back as your engine re-ignites. If they have stopped following you can come back for another swipe. If they still give chase then you gotta keep going further and then climb again once out of gun range. Often their engine dies during one of the chases, either due to previous bullets from you or from making them dive with you. For other slower enemies, it is enough to come in with level or alt advantage, and after attack go up and loop. If they try to follow, once they have figured out where you are going and climb they will be very low energy and eventually they stall if they keep doing it. Their speed gets very low and at the top of one of the loops you roll so that the bottom of your loop becomes on their 6. If you want to turn, nothing beats the camel or the pup for a turner, but they are matched by good Dr1 pilots. The Hun planes are much easier to fly and learn, except the Dr1 it takes lots of patience and exact rudder control. 1 Pimax Crystal VR & Simpit User | Ryzen CPU & Nvidia RTX GPU | Some of my mods
WynnTTr Posted December 8, 2010 Posted December 8, 2010 (edited) Thanks for that Taipan. Exactly what I needed. Now I'm itching to give it a try but I'm at work. Only go on the forums at work - why read forums at home when you can fly. Yeah, it's as I suspected, I don't know enough about the planes to fly and exploit them properly. Nothing a few hours won't fix. +1 rep :) Edited December 8, 2010 by WynnTTr +1 rep :) 1

The current one is like a cheap hooker - it serves it purpose for my urges but doesn't give no lovin' Just read my email about the new Gotha. The bomb sight is in the forward gunners position and the rear guns has both a top and bottom guns... so you have to climb between the two a la Millenium Falcon.
