can someone help me with the jet controls?

[Petey]

alright ever since i downloaded 0.7 i realized its hard to control the jet compared to 0.6

like its very hard to steer, go up/down, left/right.
can someone tell me what the problem is?
or tell me how to tweak it so its good?

thanks

Hmm, really, either buy a joystick or use your keyboard only

I'm a keyboard flyer, and im pretty good

Set your flying keys to these via the controls

Up arrow: Rudder Down
Down arrow: Rudder Up
Left arrow: Turn left (rudder left?)
Right arrow: Turn right (rudder right?)

W: Thrust
S: Speed Down
A: This can also be used for turning left
D: This can also be used for turning right

Bullets: Right CTRL
Drop Bombs: Numpad 0
Drop Flares: (Default)

To really turn good with this setting, use that rudder (Example here)

Say I want to turn left hard, ill press the left arrow until im facing sideways and then ill press the down arrow which will start letting me bank left, I'v found this way alot easier to fly then Keyboard and mouse and way easier to evade enemy missiles, I'd try it if I was you before I wasted my money on a joystick

I also got problems with jets in PR 0.7, but my problem is totally different: the problem is that I'm not anymore able to land jets, particularly the A 10, let's say in Kashan desert when I need to! I watched the pilot training video lots of times, but still I'm not able to land it. Example. I'm in the A 10 and do some training in my home made closed server. I usually do attack runs to the north village to target practice, but then I run out of ammo and return to base. I follow every step that the video says, but when the A 10 touches down, I still do not loose speed enough and crash to the end of the runway. What should I do?

PS: when I land with an F 16 I notice that with the "reverse" command (default "S") you have air brakes, with the A 10 not! (I also use a joystick with throttle control)

ok well i helped cas make the jets so from testing i learned that you need to come in at about 700-800, then when you are getting very close to the run way, like 100m, hold s you should drop to about 600, try to touch down fast, keep holding s, now pull back on the stick, you should stop very fast.

[Mr.Seb87]

Thank you, I used that advice asap and it worked fine. Still there is a high chance that i crash anyway! but now I have a 50-50 chance

Approach the runway at a suitable height and angle, and only land if you're sure your speed will be '600', or very close to it (over or under) when you touch-down.

Hitting the runway at 600 speed without touching any other engine controls (provided your engine was already killed in flight) you should stop at the end of the runway, or even before if you use your taxi engine at about '200' speed.

Should work; does for me, and I can't fly for sh*t
