SPAD's & D.VII's...and joystick settings.

Recommended Posts

  'Went to QC and ordered up a sky full of planes (10 SPADS & 10 D.VII's) and charged into the center of it. It would seem as though my problems with keeping my gun sights on target have more to do with my current lack of practice ( and the innate squirrellyness of the Dr.1) than with joystick settings. First, I went to Workshop and restored my Thrustmaster settings to default. It didn't help much. Then I dug out an older Logitech stick and switched over to a D.VII. Much better. Seeing as this was a somewhat hurried test, I didn't set up TrackIR, (I've just moved from Massachusetts to Wisconsin) and TrackIR's still in a box on my desk. I just kept circling until a SPAD crossed my nose and then I latched on. Things seemed to go pretty well. He squirmed and twisted but I kept snapping off short bursts and eventually he went down. I heard bullets whipping through my canvas so I had somebody's attention, but no blood on goggles and I thought I was OK. But after the SPAD went in, I kept losing altitude. I decided to try landing in NML. As soon as the wheels touched, the engine caught fire and I was toast.

I was just a bit too slow to catch his crash.

Poor little TrackIR - you will hopefully get it set up again soon, Hauksbee -

it makes such a big difference.

I have made my profile smoother now, and it seems perfect for me for WW1.
