FM and DM issues

Just gotta say, this sim has the best dev team and best crowd of enthusiastic players I've come across in my fourteen years of PC flying.
My little niggles, say they were on a big-name dev title, would go absolutely unnoticed by the devs / authors.

This is really a great flagship for PC titles, and deserves much success.

The patch by WM to alter bullet - damage should be a great help and I for one am dead chuffed to see dialogue on this topic enabling improvements to be added. It's good for all of us! BTW, what does HTH stand for?

I'll try some later machines, and see how I get on, regards Pol. My ultimate aim is to take a pilot from the earliest date selectable, and fly him through the entire war; all the new planes, squad members etc. Maybe write a virtual memoir just for fun! ( Memories of a ham-fisted lucky sod? )

I've seen AI headshots occur; they scream loud n clear, then stuff it into the mud! Best done with 'tight' aiming, and up close; can pop their noggins about one time in six or so that way:tgun2:

As for gaping holes, I've nearly been taken out by an enemy AI, who clipped my wing; the wing end was just wood bits ( nicelly modelled!), and my plane really didn't feel up to staying level ( nose down and max opposite rudder; trying to balance the lift on each wing :wiggle:).

Right, off to chuck a DVII around, up high - I'm drinking some beer to simulate oxygen-deprivation, and my kids are making lots of noise to give me the lack-of-O2-headache aswell! Might turn on my clip-on fan and sit here in my big fleece to make it even more real! My son has offered to burn me with a lighter if my plane does a flamer; nice thoughtful touch.:ernae:
 
Anyone else experiencing this?
Upon taking a hit, the merest few bullets, it always seems to knock out ailerons nearly completely; control can only be maintained by brutal use of rudder, to 'throw' the plane round and generate some secondary roll that way :( . Is it the FM / DM, or just me being a sore loser:faint:?
Is it a CFS3 limitation, or can it be changed?

Roll does seem very ponderous in all the rotaries btw, it seemed sharper in RB3D, FE, the FSX DR1 model, WoH series, FC.

Is their a way to adjust it in Airwrench to suit personal taste; all my attempts with it so far just make the plane 'unavailable'...?

Loving the game, just wanting to tweak it to my taste ( like add more sugar to coffee eh? )

I feel unable to play in DiD settings with the current FM roll-rates :(


We are also now looking at Roll rates and will adjust some of the rotaries and others if they are below spec.

People have verified this already in this thread, but I had my first death by being shot personally last night. I was flying with quite a bit of control damage and just trying to get away from the battle area when a DV came at me from the side and the next thing I knew, my bird was heading straight down and there was a message saying pilot dead, no control of the aircraft, or something like that. Then the screen went red, and then black. Poor chap. At least he didn't have to sweat that long plummet down to the mud.
 
Hope This Helps

HTH :)

cheers

Played much D7 last night; aileron control seemed less KO-able by a random hit:jump:; a bit relieved to see that my percieved 'problem' isn't game-wide; will have to back to earlies after next patch; S! WM:friday:

OT: does the OFF team ever meet up in RL, or is a 'virtual' team. Don't know why I wonder that, it just would be pretty weird to do all that work, dialogue, conversations and problem-solving, but never meeting the other teamsters. BTW No I'm not going to be an OFF groupie :kilroy:!
 
message saying pilot dead, no control of the aircraft, or something like that.

It says "NO AIRCAFT [sic] CONTROL." That typo is from CFS3 and must not be fixable or else surely it would have been.
 
I succeeded in killing an observer in a two-seater today (at least, he stopped shooting at me).
 
Your aim must be improving. Either that, or using unlimited ammo:whistle:
I use a tiny red dot when in no-vc mode ( + a few instuments ); helps my aim E-normously.

I personally have never met anyone in the team although some members have met up... its interesting to say the least.
