SIM Unplayable on T.Master?

[towman]

So the aviator uses the hat switch correctly to look around but the rudder is either on or off and the TM can only look sideways and not backwards?
That's unfortunate.

I imagine it's a v-sync issue. Tearing is usually caused by the display and graphics card being out of sync. I notice BF:Bad Company did it on my 24" monitor.
It might go away with a better TV? lol

EDIT: Good old Wiki

The Xbox 360 version of the Aviator has a full analogue PoV stick, and not just an 8-way hat switch. I can't say whether it's the same for the PS3 version – I'd have to go play with one in a store.

I have a 52" Phillips LCD running HDMI from my ps3 that I bought last year. This is the only time I have ever seen this running a game on my tv.

Yeah I was only kidding with the "get a better TV" bit

I think it's usually more of a rendering / signal output issue than anything the TV side.

Thinking about it, you could try setting it to 1080i rather than 1080p? Interlacing should eliminate tearing. But of course, you can get scan lines on fast motion.
Seeing as the game runs 720p upscaled to 1080p, I can't see you losing out graphically by switching to 1080i.

Might be worth trying if it really bugs you?

Maybe I will try to set my ps3 to only output to 720 and see if it quits.

No, that would still be progressive then. If you switch to 1080i (interlaced) its essentially flickering 2 720px frames so you get smoother motion.
The sacrifice is of course, you're only really showing 50% of a 1080 image but seeing as the game is rendered at 720 there should be no image loss as such.

EDIT: I'm testing it now...

Alas it doesn't help at all! lol
I'm obviously talking absolute rubbish and taking you on a wild goose chase!

I guess it must be a rendering issue

Then it's a game issue.

So, to put this av8tr vs TMaster look around/hat switch thing to bed...

Are there any videos online of people using the av8tr look around?

Because now I am feeling like us Tmaster users are at a dissadvantage in mp.

I imagine this will be fixed eventually. It has 8 directions and it might not be as good as analog but if we eventually get all 8 directions that will work well enough.
