dreidecker,

The RoF FFB control model makes the neutral point of the stick (i.e., the position where the motors are trying to centre it) lean forward of the upright position that a spring centred stick has. You don't have to programme anything, it's already done by RoF. The result is that you still have a nose-up pitch under high power and a nose-down pitch with power off, but it is much less of a problem than with a spring-centred stick.

With the SE5a, hands-off with a spring-centred stick gives about 10 degrees up-elevator. Hands off with a FFB stick gives 0 degrees up elevator. I found the SE5a to be almost unflyable with a springy stick, but it's very nicely balanced with an FFB one. I'd say it's pretty good and matches well with how I expect the real aircraft to fly - based on my experience in gliders.

Cheers,

RD.

I know you've had troubles with serious stutters, Tvrdi. I don't think mine were as bad but there were instances I did get them. I tried reinstalling my sound drivers and haven't had the stutters since (except for the pauses when an enemy spawns, but that's a different issue).

I'm sure you've tried everything, but I thought I'd toss this out just in case.

Nice Smile2

He or she could have a special one-off skin only allowed for the pilot at the top of the World League scoreboard. Black with the white skull and crossbones yes and a ha-ha-ha-echoing sound effect in your cockpit when he shoots you down Smile2

Hello,

nice, yes.
"... Beautiful looking 3D models.
No word yet on other content and fixes. ..."

Sigh.
I have seldomly seen an update celebrated in that way, that you have to pay for - or are those birds free ? What about single play and multiplayer issues ?

I know that sounds negative, but hell my teenage enthusiasm celebrating anything shiny and new on the market (and to hell with issues) has somehow changed.

Greetings,
Catfish

Absolutely...and the modeled pilot to have a big scar with a permanent sneering smirk on his face!
