Mohamed Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 Hi every body i would like knew when i can use rudders while doing maneuvers ??? thank u all Quote
Caesar Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 Whenever you want. I use them a lot during ACM especially with the F-14 and F-15, which have great rudder authority. They're especially helpful winging the nose around at low airspeeds and for commanded departures/recoveries. Quote
zmatt Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 I use the rudder to improve the turn radius. If you angle the plane correctly you can turn faster with the rudder added. It won't make the F-4 into a great dog fighter, but it helps. Quote
Viper6 Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 I've also gotten good at using the rudder to toss curveball bombs in my Mighty, Beloved F-4E Quote
+MigBuster Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 sometimes handy on landings too - or just low speed in general. Quote
Mohamed Posted May 21, 2009 Author Posted May 21, 2009 thx all very much for help realy thx see u in Dog Fight ^^ Quote
MAKO69 Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 Dude a rudder is like a 2nd Pen*s us it when ever you need to. Quote
jomni Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 Dude a rudder is like a 2nd Pen*s us it when ever you need to. But in the this game, I don't get the desired results when I start using them because it also induces a roll... Spoils accuracy. I guess I need more practice. Quote
ndicki Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 If you're using separate rudder pedals, you may need to make sure that the sim has not affected, say, aileron movements to your toe-brakes or something. Hand-editing your controls .ini can be a good move. Use notepad. The rudder is very useful for dogfighting, but it really comes into its own for ground attack - as has been said above. Bringing the nose round a bit without losing your flight attitude and so on. Don't forget that if you're banking at 90°, the rudder becomes an elevator to help you keep your nose up. Quote
GreyCap Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 Dude a rudder is like a 2nd Pen*s us it when ever you need to. Remind me to never go flying with you. Quote
+Bongodriver Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 But in the this game, I don't get the desired results when I start using them because it also induces a roll... Spoils accuracy. I guess I need more practice The roll induced by yaw (rudder) is correct, it happens in RL, if you are maintaining rudder input and want to offset the induced roll you should use a little opposite aileron, this is part of the technique used in sideslipping, i use rudder alot in gunfights, used delicately it just helps put the sight right where you want it.

+FastCargo Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 Rudder works great defensively as well. Surprised more than a few friends who've ended up ahead of me without knowing how it happened just by using the rudders to throw off where they thought I was going verses where I did go... Oh wait, that was real life... FC Quote
