Hi all Im relatively new to IL-2 1946, but have picked up on the basics so far. One problem I have is trimming - I have 2 trim wheels on my joystick for Aileron and Elevator (I assume rudder is not needed normally), but I struggle to get the aircraft to fly straight. Ive tried different sensitivity settings on the joystick, but no luck. I dont like using the autopilot to trim, but this is the only way I can navigate in a straight line between 2 points.
If I fly manually, I have to continually correct by fairly large amounts. Are the any suggestions on trimming? Am I missing something basic? Is it perhaps my equipment? Or perhaps using the Autopilot is the norm?
(Im flying Spitfire and Corsair missions). To be honest i think you do need the rudder to adjust a littlebit from left to right (especial at takeoff), but the other thing is the wind i think. My plane (what ever i use) always keeps tilting to one side when flying and i needs corecting always from left to right and up and down. I just put the 'elevator trim negative/positive on my joystick so i can adjust that as it keeps climbing if i dont.
Have you ever imagined that you could use clever strategy in air combat game to get much much more fun? That is one of the main idea when we made aircraft combat 1942! Not only you could show your clever fighting way to your enemy but also you got varied weapons to fight in any situation. No matter in long distance. Jul 17, 2010 I saw at their forums they will probably be shutting down.:( All Aircraft Arcade:: View topic - AAA Comes to an end. To all members of AAA.
Same goes for the flaps you can adjust these in the air. But if you dont have enough buttons you might wanna use the keyboard for that. *dont know if i'm 100% right about the wind derection, but i'm 100% positive about the flaps and elevator adjustment! Hi and welcome jaxx. Some tips on trim: (ok, what I do ) Firstly, forget about Aileron Trim for now.
It is mostly on American planes, most axis or UK planes doesn’t have it. Rather have Rudder Trim in place of Aileron Trim, as this is the one you use the most to counter torque, especially on take off. Elevator Trim is used to trim your aircraft for level/climb/nose down trim. I use my momo racing wheel for Elevator Trim.
It works fantastic and have not even bothered in modding my Elevator Trim unit, just uses the wheel!! Most of my flight controls are completely modded, I did post it here some time ago, but it was still in its infancy, and is completely different now.
Actually my BF109 3/4 scale cockpit is nearly done, for all my HOTAS to go in!!! I'll post pics when I'm done, as I want to use it as a guide for fellow sim pilots that want to have custom HOTAS Just a note on Aileron Trim. It is really a fantastic option on the planes that does have it. I love flying long odd missions in my fav ’38 and usually I will fly for up 2-3 hours on one mission barely touching the yoke as I only use my trim buttons to fly! Edd BTW: do read this it is a fantastic read, wonderful training manual and bible to all sim pilots. Click to expand.Oh yes, there is not enough space here to mention all the improvements. There is servers for the 4.09 mod, there is also a mod switcher that you download to switch between modded(4.09 ) and unmodded(4.08 )versions.
Rather fly in the 4.09 servers. Alot of improved flight models. ALOT of planes for historical correct dogfights, etc: in the unmodded version you'll have Spit MkV against the 109Emils, but in reality they were fighting Spit Mk1's.
Also the sound of the engines has improved immensely. In all honesty, just see the mod version as a massive improvement patch. Just last night I dropped an atomic bomb on the Russels Islands and blew 54 ships to pieces. The map I used is the 'Slot' available for download and the 'B29 Silverplate' available for download. Also all the planes that are unflyable, will be flyable after the install.
Give it a try, Ill be here at forums if you need any help. BTW where do you stay? They are also creating planes from WW1 and planes of Korean War(oh the F86 is soooo lovely) so soon this sim will have a 1914-1953 timeframe!!
