Instant mission, that's all I do.

Right from the get go.

Pretty sure I have set the axes, etc, but ???

I know millions of people have everything squared away with this sim, but I just don't know what I am doing wrong.

Win7 and X52.

Go into your response tab in the options and make sure none of your axes are constantly active, could be some problem in controls mapping.

Which aircraft are you trying to fly?

I fiddled in the responses tab, as suggested, and have it sorted, for now. Pitch was mapped to both the mouse and the joystick.

I was trying to fly both the Dh.2 and an Albatross, same thing. But I just did a quick mission with the Spad, and I crashed it very nicely, but not by spinning!

Thanks, guys!

Yeah, conflicting controls = Very Bad Thing

Also, never have a steering wheel and joystick connected at the same time!

Cut back the fuel to about 60%..makes a world of difference..esp in a Camel..

Again, thanks for the suggestions.

Guess I should read the manual re: the key/control mapping.

I hate that part of any flightsim. Just lazy, I guess.

I wasn't aware of that. I haven't experienced any problems thus far, but I'll disconnect the wheel just to be safe. Thanks!

RoF generally seems to handle multiple controllers quite well - at least as far as recognising that they aren't the same device. It can get confused sometimes if you unplug them, and then reconnect in a different order, but that is a problem with the Windows API - a crappy design that M$ have made no real effort to fix.

Just watch this video Jugs. I posted this in the other thread as well. Have you watched it?

I just watched it, better late than never, that's my motto! (I just don't have a lot of time to get on the computer, usually.)

Video explains a lot, thanks.

I seem to pull too tight in turns and Spin in. ( Sopwith Tri and Pup) I was on line and doing well got hits and surviving a nice long Game in Multi player. Along came an Albatross D III in a turn I curved down pulled for leed and spun into the ground. Oh well, Try Try another day

I am a much better bomber pilot than fighter pilot, at least in RoF. I used to be able to somewhat hold my own in the WW2 sim that shall not be named. Online in RoF I can get a few kills here and there, but I find it's usually a beginner or novice. Offline play I can hold my own mostly................mostly.

Me too, seems to live longer, if careful. However, they do attract fighters like fly s to Honey

Another tip...the planes are light and the torque and gyro can be strong. When I pull a HARD turn, unlike in a jet, I throttle DOWN. The loss of power isn't major (because you're going to bleed off anyway with only ~200 hp or so, it's not an F-16), but the reduction in the engine's other effects on handling can be the difference between a spin and a successful turn.

Think of it like taking your foot off the gas in a turn, even if it doesn't require braking...I know in your line of work that's something you're familiar with.
