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.

should I buy now ATI 5850 and shoot myself in the temple with a gun?
seriously, Im happy for you guys now....good news at last 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.

The most evil guy must have a black oneNice 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 Ming

I'll have videos of each for Monday.
Good! I'm really looking forward to these two. Especially since I can now use the Mission Editor with basic proficiency. Cheers, RD.

2005AD,
I'm not sure what you mean by "Major Fixes". The sim works and I'm tired of the gloom and doom threads here.
A roadmap will be posted soon that will explain when some new features will come etc. A new feature is not a "fix".
Other than the stutters some people are complaining about, I don't see any show stopping "bugs" when I play with my friends.
I know people want certain new or different features like.
Replay Dogfight Server QMB Manual for ME Two-Seaters RPG Elements in Campaign Joystick Curves Options available in Game 3rd Party Object Dev. SDK etc..
All of this is being worked on. We're barely 120 days out from launch. neoqb has listened to forum posters, the publishers, beta testers and their own survey responses to formulate a plan for continued development. Some of this does not happen over night or in a couple weeks. The team is working very hard to give you what you want. If not already happy with your purchase and investment in ROF, your initial investment will be more than fulfilled in just a few more short months thanks to the hard work of the dev team.
Other sims go straight to vaporware. Others were DOA at launch, only to be saved by the community. Other sims were "ok" at launch and then re-launched and then improved over time to be a classic. Other sims are re-built every couple years and then re-sold for top dollar. ROF has not been abandoned by the developer, they are working hard to improve the already fun flying experience and they have listened closely to the community and are acting upon it.
Enjoy each new patch or feature that comes out, pick up a plane or two if so inclined and watch ROF mature and grow. If you own ROF, we pubs and the devs deeply appreciate your support and continued support.
Bottom line is that the "major fixes" I think 2500AD is referring too, takes time and they are on it.
More soon...
Jason

2005AD,
I'm not sure what you mean by "Major Fixes". The sim works and I'm tired of the gloom and doom threads here. At least you accept that stuttering for the majority of users is a major fix. Also the career needs work with the 5v2 problems that have plagued the sim since release. No reason to load a career because the same 5v2 scenario pops up with the sniper AI gunners if you do manage to get your enemy 2 seaters to trigger. The sniper AI constitutes a major fix for a lot of users, it sure does for a very large number of people on this and the official forum. These are the major fixes I was alluding to. Granted some of these issues may not be major problems to some but the stutters and the sniper AI are certainly very large problems for a majority. Contrary to what you claim the sim does not work in some if not the majority of peoples opinions. I appreciate that the constant negativity will be seen as tiresome by the developers/publishers but at least they are listening. A roadmap will be posted soon that will explain when some new features will come etc. A new feature is not a "fix".
I look forward to seeing it. I already accept that the large updates to career and MP will take time. Other than the stutters some people are complaining about, I don't see any show stopping "bugs" when I play with my friends. Then I suggest you try fighting against the AI to see how the sniper gunners plague your SP experience. I know people want certain new or different features like.

Jason I think the majority of RoF customers now accept it will take time to reach its potential. I am certain if it survives and flourishes even the most ardent of detractors will come to love it. I see the potential and wait with baited breath to see it evolve and mature.
