Ah...

The old sim pilot's axiom: Harder must be more realistic.

:rolleyes:

Glad to see the forum getting settled in now. No need to worry about game play issues, time to get back to the old tried and true topics.

One of the better ones is: "Real pilot experiences cannot be trusted, because I'm a sim pilot, and I have books, and wiki, and stuff..."

Carry on lads.

My biggest issue is I frequently don't know at exactly what point my plane touched the ground. I line up, slow down, flare... keep flaring... I wonder is it down yet... how about now... ok, I gotta be down by now... maybe... and eventually the plane seems to be rolling instead of flying. I'm missing the bump effect. Give me a noticeable bump and I'll be happy with it.

Of course I could always fix my own problem by just pounding the plane into the ground. :-P

I'd mention again my own real-life pilot's certificate here, but that appears to have become unfashionable so I won't.

Anyway, once wind effects are modeled I trust it'll be a whole new game.

:cool:

Flying legends July 2008 - Duxford same as video.
Video grabbed on youtube - Picts shot by myself

I haven't missed a Flying Legends since 2004, so I suppose this happened on a Sunday (I always do Saturday).


P.S.

Pupaxx ma sei romano? :)

Yes indeed! E' il mio 'english' frascatan-pecoreccio a tradirmi?
E tu? Voli on line qualche volta?
Ciao

It is already out....
make space on your HDD, it is 6Gb :)


~S~

Does anyone know if Force Feedback addresses this...do you get a rumble when you touch down?

Yes it does, and bump is quite noticeable indeed. At least with MS FFB2.

Rough landing. Plane damaged, but dont blow up like in il-2.
