A simple and little question about COD (please check!)

What's your point? I dont understand.

Jeep Wrangler vs Humvee.

Better?

You're telling me an aerobatic plane is lighter than a warbird. You're not teaching me anything and it's not answering to my question at all.

What exactly do u want? Planes that behave like the Su?

Lol... May be I was not enough clear in my first message. The question is not about FM (very important), just about the reaction of ailerons. Not the reaction of the plane of what we're doing with the stick, it's another problem.

In a large range of planes (aerobatics included), the stick is directly linked to the ailerons. If you pull your stick hard in 0.001sec, the elevator will react in 0.001sec. Not in IL2 (try ROF, you'll see the difference). That's why I'm asking how it's gonna be in COD.

Direct linking or not, different planes have vastly different behaviour.

It depends by many factors such as inertia, control link friction, and control effectiveness, not to mention how much stability you need to overcome. A plane may react instantly at control input or not, and may stop reacting instantly when you return the stick to centre or not. In many cases, you do have a residual roll rate, requiring a little contrary stick input.

In any case, roll rates have huge differences from plane to plane.

If the Su-26 is included then I can't see why the reaction of the control surfaces won't be modelled as close to the real thing as possible. Those reactions don't compare to the reaction of the warbirds in IL-2, where so many other variables come into play.

A few examples would be; position of fuel tanks, fuel load, weight of guns, weight of ammunition boxes, ditto armour plates; size and composition of control surfaces (whether covered with metal or canvas), ditto airframe. And so on.

The Su-26 is built and rigged for extreme, short-duration aerobatics. I don't see any reason why this won't be reflected in the game.

Do you have input filtering on?

I dont know how to tell. In input settings, IL2 recognize only one joystick (my pedals, and dont even show the rudder axis). I should be able to set it in the conf.ini, but where it is?

In the conf.ini check for the joystick input.
Each axis goes from 0 to 100, behind the 100, there are another two digits - filtering and deadzone, if both are 0 it's off.
