Hello all.
I posted awhile ago in regards to what may have been a joystick configuration problem although I have not been able to rectify the situation. I have followed this list and other on-line groups in regards to FlightGear and I have yet to see anyone else complaining of the same issues that concern me.
As I have not read any other previous posts you may have sent I am sorry if I am asking questions
you may have already answered.
1 What is your system and does it use onboard sound and graphics.
2 Is it just that the aircraft are slow to fly not the sim is slow as a whole.
3 The fact that the problem is not wide spread would suggest the problem
is pretty uneque to your system.
4 Have you tried to run the sim without the joystick just using the keyboard
and/or a mouse and does it make any difference.
Basically, what it amounts to is that, other than a few planes including the 310, 747 and surprisingly the Concorde, most of the planes are un-flyable. In most cases, they just sit on the runway, looking and sounding pretty, but do not move no matter how much the urging. In a few cases, including my other posting involving the c172, I can not go above a few hundred feet without getting into a stall situation. Now, granted, if the latter is a joystick configuration issue and considering I have re-configured this thing (MS Sidewinder 3D Pro) numerous times to no avail, I would think that I would at least find a few hits on someone experiencing the same problem with the joystick. In the former case, I do not think I have ever read anyone complaining that the plane doesn't move at all.
Could you tell me what happens when you use the 737 as it is the aircraft I am most
familar with.
1 does the N1 goto 100% when you open the throttles
2 does the Exhaust Gas Temperature rise
3 does the Fuel Flow rise.
4 will the aircraft climb at better than 10deg nose up.
With the 747 which fdm are you using .As one of the 747's use Yasim and one uses JSBsim I think.
So basically, I guess I am looking for someone who has at least experienced the same problem as I, either with configuration issues with this particular joystick ('cause I am not averse to getting a newer one) and two, not getting some planes off the ground. I may not get a resolution but at least I won't be lonely in my misery.
Out of all of this, I would love to be able to get my Cessna working again, as it really isn't that easy cruising around the SF bay area in an airliner.
Thanks.
Cheers Innis
