Yes to both - it's in roll only (although once the plane is bucking around like that, pitch starts to become involved as well!) I was wondering if the wind moving ailerons, e.g. at rest on the ground (is that even modelled?) moved the stick but obviously if the stick represents what my joystick input is, then that's the problem. > There is the gyro effect of the prop, and the tail is offset to compensate, > but it shouldn't be too difficult. Try the rudder trim. Yes, I was assuming that those effects should be controllable fairly easily; although I've certainly not flown a Hurricane or Spit (or anything other than a Bocian, for that matter!) the amplitude of this effect feels entirely out of proportion with "reality" even as modelled in the rest of the sim. > What joystick are you using?

So do I, which is why I was tentatively checking that I'm not just a completely useless pilot (although that's probably still true :-) It's a cheap (and fairly nasty) analogue stick made by InterAct. And it's almost nine years old. Looks like it's time to spend a few quid then! I normally fly the Hunter though and it doesn't show any misbehaviour unless I've forgotten to calibrate the stick first, which is why I've not investigated further before. > Sea Hurricane next, when I've done with this one.

I'm currently attempting a Lightning, using AC3D rather than Blender this time, with tips from the (pretty good) series of tutorials posted here a short time ago. So far I've got a fuselage, tail and 80% of the wing done and looking almost reasonable, which is a whole lot more than I've managed before... whether or not it turns out to be remotely near releasable quality remains to be seen! Are most you (or most people here) using AC3D or something else? > Did you try the yasim.diff yet (posted to the list earlier) - if you > haven't I would be grateful for any feedback - it shouldn't break anything, > and enables several other features such as the boost gauge and the Boost > Control Cutout.
