fmedges Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Sanity check. I flew some absolute horrific case 1 patters this afternoon and something feels different with the throttles. Am I crazy?

=4c=Nikola Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Something feels different with flight controls as well. Yesterday did like 20 approaches and I'm sure it was handling differently.

Bunny Clark Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 ED has said they've been working on tweaking the Hornet's flight model. Though, there was nothing about it in the patch notes ... ?

Airbusjoerg Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 (edited) Thank god I'm not stupid. The same here. I always come in way too low into the groove, but my muscle memory's doing exactly what it did on a thousand approaches in Bankler's mission. Something feels different. During the final turn, she´s dropping a lot faster. Have to work the throttles a lot more. Hard to describe.

sebihepp Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 I can also affirm that the hornet is different now, at least the throttle. I wasn't really good before, but now the carrier landings are horrible. Could it be, that shes accelerating/decelerating faster than before?

=4c=Nikola Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 (edited) Something is different with turn radius as well. Cannot achieve correct lineup at start, always overshot.

Razor18 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Feels like there would be more power (at least) in the lower RPM region, than before. Or maybe spool up / down time decreased?... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CypherS Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Nothing seems changed in the flight model. They did however change the curves. I had my curves so that when I'm at the detent on my warthog I'm on the in-game detent according to the in game control indicator. Now if I'm in the same position it indicates I'm past the detent and the afterburner are already on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunx Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 All my axis and curves are the same as before the update. My bug feels (to me) far more twitchy than before, in a really good way. Control surface and throttle changes seem (to me) far more responsive.

5ephir0th Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Before the update my afterburner kick in just after my detent on Warthog throttle, now is a bit after my detent.

speed-of-heat Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 ok so i just tested this, my throttle curves are still good, in the sense that power starts where it should moves into AB when it should etc... so i must still be going mad... or something else changed SYSTEM SPECS: Hardware Intel Corei7-12700KF @ 5.1/5.3p & 3.8e GHz, 64Gb RAM, 4090 FE, Dell S2716DG, Virpil T50CM3 Throttle, WinWIng Orion 2 & F-16EX + MFG Crosswinds V2, Varjo Aero SOFTWARE: Microsoft Windows 11, VoiceAttack & VAICOM PRO YOUTUBE CHANNEL: @speed-of-heat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HILOK Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 yep! sth definitely feels different. unable to pinpoint exactly what it is though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HILOK Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 are you guys by any chance referring to the new SC CASE I mission? cause i just tried bankler's v5.2.0, and it doesn't feel that much different than before. even after editing it to replace the stennis with the SC. the SC CASE I mission DOES feel a lot different, and i am starting to think it's because it has wind shifting from 30kt at 1600ft down to 15kt at see-level, where bankler's has NO wind at all...

Mule Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 If it's the Supercarier Case 1 mission you are referring to the wind in that is brutal. The carrier is going slow and the wind component is pushing you. It can make you balloon and will have you doing a lot more with the throttles etc. Fighter Pilot Podcast.

NOKUV Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 It seems that the throttle's feedback is more sluggish than usual Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
