Rule Change: Fox and Hounds
Hi all,
There's a rule change in FOX AND HOUNDS: due to the fact that the P51-B is slightly slower than the P51-D5 (and, as tagemandbagem has pointed out, the colour is more suiting to the fox), from now on the fox flies the P51-B and the hounds fly the P51-D5. Happy hunting! MAC

Standard Layout / PAD
 Dear friends, This message is directed at those of you who fly with the Standard Layout on the pad. I tried all I could think of to replicate this layout in a custom layout, but unfortunately it just won't work. The problem is that when the rudder and throttle are assigned to the right stick, pushing down on the stick (R3 button) for free view and moving the stick up/down or left/right will not only give you free view, but will also move the throttle and/or rudder, something which clearly doesn't happen in Standard Layout. Like I said, I tried all combinations I could think of. No success. It must be an oversight by the programmers not to allow a combination of buttons to cancel single button functions. As a consequence, in my opinion, it is unfortunately totally useless to make a Standard Layout custom layout on the pad. What's the point of having an unwanted throttle/rudder input any time you want to look around - you just don't have control any more. Just to save you the time, I also tried to assign the rudders to L2/R2 (the trigger-like buttons in front and down on the pad) in the hope that this would result in the same analogue fine control over the rudder, but found that this doesn't work since these buttons behave just like the digital L1/R1 buttons. Not analogue at all. So, as I see it, you have a two choices: 1. continue flying with the Standard Layout. Of course this is possible, but you will have a big disadvantage when playing in Club rules. The P51 in this setting stalls much sooner and much more violently than with a customised setting. 2. take the hard road and change over custom aviator layout. I know this is a lot to ask having played with your usual layout for a long time. It is gonna be hard for some time, but well worth the work. Clearly, I recommend you the second option. Here's why: - airplane behaviour and response: much much better in custom aviator - free view: in custom aviator you can always look freely and at the same time operate all controls - rudder: while it's true that you don't have the same fine control over the rudder, you do have good control since even though L1/L2 are digital, the rudder input is quite slow and gradual. Similar effect as with analogue but timing is more important. - other functions (fire/flaps/map/etc.): you can still assign them as is best for you. Hope this makes sense and you can follow my logic. If you need any help with changing I'll be glad to assist. Best, MAC Last edited by MACADEMIC; 06-18-2010 at 05:45 PM.

Our Club goes International!
     Dear all, Today I added links to Google translate to the first post of this thread. The translated languages are French, Russian, Spanish, German and Italian. While the translations are not perfect, they seem mostly okay and I think this is a great way of bridging the language barrier. If you want to join the club but don't speak English, or you have some comment or questions, you can just reply on this thread in one of these languages. Best, MAC Last edited by MACADEMIC; 06-18-2010 at 03:07 PM.

Update
1. AERIAL FOOTBALL
 Last night football season started for the P51 club. Mirgervin, Vdomini, Briggboy, tagemandbagem, Mage016, o_life and I played the inaugural session of Aerial football. After sorting out most of the uncertainties about the rules (these soccer girls!), we got a great game on the way. Fun! The more players, the better the game. Should you not be familar with the rules yet, you can find them here (warning: picture may cause you distraction!). 2. Special Club game: OTHER AIRPLANES  Later on we unsaddled our Mustangs and got into two Russian planes to see how they go with Club rules (except for the airplane type). We flew the I-16 and the Yak-3. It worked out well so we'll make a new Special Club game: OTHER AIRPLANES While the Club should clearly remain focused on our beloved wild horses (if you can ride them, you can ride anything), testing our hard earned skills on other airplane types under Club rules will just add fun and experience. The Special Club game can be played under three conditions: 1. only airplanes with cockpits are allowed 2. Club rules except for airplane type 3. all players have to fly the same airplane All games as applicable can be played as this Special Club game. See you all soon!
