ROF planes need constant imput and adjustment and dramatically more work close to stall speeds. Maybe that's why feels so different.

To use the bomber gunners you click Ctrl+C to switch to the position you want and then press T to take control of the gun. Just be careful what you shoot at. Specially when you shoot from the Gotha trough that tunel in the fuselage. I shot a bunch of holes in the belly of the plane trying to hit that sneaky Camel. Then when i finally got over the target at decent altitude, my bombs wouldn't drop. I shot the bomb release mechanism.

PM me if you want a working logitech profile (it is very difficult to fly DCS or ROF using these older sticks).

I just need to find the correct responses.
Anyone know how to make (adjust the responses of) the planes of RoF to fly as smooth as the IL2 ones?

Can´t wait to see more unorthodox planes in RoF,like the Ilya Mourumetz,the Zeppelin R.VI,the Etrich Taube,italian planes,american ones... (probably no MB-1...)

Depends on meaning of "smooth".

I have put my responses like this and it feels quite smooth to me.

I have the same roll response for every aircraft so far.


The Camel pitch


The only thing I change now is the pitch for a new aircraft to fly level
Example: the SE5 and Dr1 pitch response.


Change the response and hit save and name the response,the aircraft name is a good choice,and then you have a response curve for each one.(If you didn´t know that off course,but I wrote it anyway IF you didn´t know that... )

I mean.
You hit the pitch forward key (up arrow for me) and the plane goes up only after 1 or 2 seconds,and stop going up after a few time you stopped pressing up.The responses are too late.If you understand what I mean.

If there wasn't that delay for you when you fly using the keyboard, it'd be full control deflection for every little press of the button. I'd seriously consider getting some sort of stick though if I were you.

Sick But anyway, maybe PPjoy may be useful for you? I think it allows to create virtual joystick with keyboard mapped to its axis. In this way, you may be able to adjust response.

That's funny Jaws...I guess it was funny too the first time these piloys shot their own props off..they must have said a big... WTF??? Anyway thanks for the gunner info

I have this balloon sim, and yes, it's a balloon you fly in a 1km radius balloon, and can't spot any plane outside it.
Thats the only thing they need to fix, but i read somewhere they can't, because of the graphic engine.
Also, i tried the new 2 engine bomber, but when i used my Warthog throttle to program engine start, with 'Eng Oper' buttons, it fail to recognize the buttons after programming them in ok, and a error msg, input unreadable. needed 'Recovery' to fix that.
But exept for this ,it's a great sim , but not for real combat , turn combat where you know where to meet, is only option.
