To everyone, I don't know if it is useful to say it again. But I strongly recommend to spend a least 10-20 min in free flight with the planes that you want to use to well understand how it handles and set the sensibility.
Before doing that I just had my ass kicked in dogfight so often, especially one time against Redkicker. And now I am a perfect ace on my LA5-FN.
Well may be not a perfect one
but I am able to get some kills now, whereas I wasn't before
I test planes in hard turns with Combat Flap both at low/high altitude and lowhigh speed. To set the sensibility, i keep turning at low altitude/ low speed (270-330 km/H which is the approx speed where you can sustain indefinitely hard turn whithout loosing altitude) with WEP/Combat Flap and keep the sensibility when I have no risk of stalling.
Well afterwards I have to be careful at high speed because the plane can still stall. (especially at high altitude or Am I wrong ?).
Sometimes It's not that simple for exemple with the Spit MKIX with the sensitivity set on 5 notches down, You cannot stall while turning right but If you're not careful you can stall while turning left.
Which leads me to 2 conclusions:
- So maybe put 6 notches down on Spit MKIX is a safer move.
- A plane turn harder on the right because of the couple of the engine ?

useful set of av8r settings..I guess I am lazy as I turn down the sensitivity settings an extra couple on each one...

Yes you right but when you are busy hat switching while turning, I find it so difficult to manage properly the rudder no ?
