Not a hurricane, but reference the mad bouncing ASI and Altimeter - look over the pilot's shoulder here - a small wobble, but by no means the mad bouncing that we see in game:

Good video ... there the next thing to work on I guess ... but you know if they are changed there will be ASI/ALT needle bounce withdrawal hysteria

There is an exceptional commercial DVD off Hurricane R4118 I doing a display with split screen in the pit looking at the panel (not over the shoulder) and the outside world from the camera gun port in the starboard wing. It shows a similar thing. there is a little ASI wobble, next to no altimeter wobble and a good indication of AH precession as well, which implies that AH precession is a little overdone at the moment. Instrumentation is all original too boot.

The Devs are aware of this DVD.

realisim please! that's why we buy the game.

i will not buy future installments if you do away with historical features simply because some don't "get" it.

+1 for realism, for whatever it is (I am no expert on bouncy meters )

Clearly there is an argument over the bouncing needles. I would have thought that the sensible thing, which I think has been posted already, would be to give us the choice in the realism options.

Same goes for negative G issue on the Rolls Royce engine.

I appreciate that you have to keep the game accessible. However, there is no reason you cant please everyone.

You have to remember nearly everyone here bought this sim for the realism and authenticity we've come to expect. To mess with that seems silly.

I would just like to say thank you for the last patch. Apart from the radio issues, I can now play the game!

Keep up the good work!!

So the realism with respect needle bounce (or lack thereof) has actually been improved !

Can you tell the exact model of the tachometer?

Here's another one, BUT comparing with a plane present in the simulator, the Tiger Moth...



I don't know what you see here, I see a very imprecise, vibrating and bouncing needle...

I have to say I've flown in a Tiger Moth with even bouncier needles!

They shake a bit and hunt but the in game bouncing 'is' a little extreme, and they bounce the same way if the engine coughs or if you hit turbulence, I would only expect an instrument to bounce like that landing on a grass strip. etc......needs to be toned down IMO, that shouldn't mean taking away realism by making RPM electric......just fix the exessive bounce.

looking at the Tiger Moth Needle movement, it was previousley overmodelled - I cannnot see any problem if 'instrument flutter' were closer to the vid. I would hardly call it imprecise and in some brief shots pretty steady for an old bird. Good vid and puts this argument to bed

the only argument retirer will be exactly what the tacho on the era plane/s was doing...
