Echo38 Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 With everyone talking about how hard the Mustang is to fly, I thought I'd crash. First take off was with keyboard, and aside from almost going off the side of the runway, it was fine. Unless I am greatly mistaken, "auto rudder" is on in the Special tab of the options by default, and possibly "takeoff assistance" as well. If you had a joystick and pedals, I would recommend turning these aids off for a more realistic experience, but if you're stuck with keyboard, then all I can offer is my sympathies. (I do remember how miserable it is to try to fly with nothing but keyboard.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AWAITING ED NEW DAMAGE MODEL IMPLEMENTATION FOR WW2 BIRDS Fat T is above, thin T is below. Long T is faster, Short T is slower. Open triangle is AWACS, closed triangle is your own sensors. Double dash is friendly, Single dash is enemy. Circle is friendly. Strobe is jammer. Strobe to dash is under 35 km. HDD is 7 times range key. Radar to 160 km, IRST to 10 km. Stay low, but never slow.

Echo38 Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 I do use CH pedals. I don't like 'em--much too close together, much closer together than the pedals on any real fighter I've ever seen. Used to use a CH Combat Stick, too. Not a bad stick ... I keep it for a backup. I wouldn't buy another, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tailgate Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 I use all CH. I like the HOTAS mapping utility which I find really versatile. I'll probably get a TM Warthog one of these days, but until then I'm pretty happy with the setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I do remember how miserable it is to try to fly with nothing but keyboard.) I knew about this and turned it off, however I just went into my options to double check and auto rudder was on. Take off assist was 0%. Is auto rudder suppose to come on every time you launch DCS World? At the very least I went back and took off/landed again. It felt very different and now I understand where people's comments come from. I had to abort the first take off, and the second one was pretty hairy, but I made it. Best of all though, I got the AI to crash into a mountain and win without hitting it.

Tailgate Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Oops! lol. Using right rudder and nose down trim helps. Hold the stick back for the intiial roll (about 60 to 70 kts), then push the stick forward until nose level, then gently lift off after 100 kts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
159th_Viper Posted October 23, 2012 Author Share Posted October 23, 2012 :) Good news is that you scored an A+ grade on the ground-looping course :D Jest aside, that was exactly how I spent an entire morning when I first got my hands on the Mustang :megalol: Keep at it and you'll get her up in no time. Just make 100% sure you lock the tailwheel prior to takeoff. Novice or Veteran looking for an alternative MP career? Click me to commence your Journey of Pillage and Plunder!

ED Team Yo-Yo Posted October 23, 2012 ED Team Share Posted October 23, 2012 Oops! lol. Using right rudder and nose down trim helps. Hold the stick back for the intiial roll (about 60 to 70 kts), then push the stick forward until nose level, then gently lift off after 100 kts Just anticipate what rudder control you must input. As you return the stick to trimmed (neutral or near it) position be ready to apply right rudder AS THE NOSE BEGINS TO GOING DOWN. As you are at desired TO attitude do not forget to decrease right rudder input or even perform left rudder shot to stop right yawing if you are late with right rudder release.

EtherealN Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 To perhaps add some clarity to what Yo-Yo said above: by anticipation, remember inertia. The controls you input now need to counter forces in play in future. Learning this is also called the backseat IP freakout as you PIO your way through both takeoff and landing. :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Daniel "EtherealN" Agorander | Даниэль "эфирныйн" Агорандер Intel i7 2600K @ 4.4GHz, ASUS Sabertooth P67, 8GB Corsair Vengeance @ 1600MHz, ASUS GTX 560Ti DirectCU II 1GB, Samsung 830series 512GB SSD, Corsair AX850w, two BENQ screens and TM HOTAS Warthog DCS: A-10C Warthog FAQ | DCS: P-51D FAQ | Remember to read the Forum Rules | | | Life of a Game Tester Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tone71 Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 (edited) Yet another "first flight" video: I dived right in to full simulation settings, with no take-off assistance or auto rudder. I've provided links in the YouTube description to skip all the messing about at the start (setting up TrackIR, messing with zoom mapped to joystick slider and general looking around the cockpit, like a child with a new toy!). I'd heard the stories of how hard it can be, so I was ultra careful, and I think it went quite well. Ironically, after watching the take-off training I got worse for a bit but now I'm much better and smoother at taking off and landing.
