Q for all the mouse Aviators......

Re: Q for all the mouse Aviators......

There are three axes when flying and these are Yaw, Pitch, and Roll.
Yaw is the movement right to left. It is controlled by the plane's rudder in the tail. If you yaw to the left or right your view of the horizon doesn't change but your heading does (I hope this makes sense?).
Pitch is your movement up and down. When you "pitch forward" you are pointing the nose of the plane down and when you "pitch backward" you are pointing the nose up (relative to oyour original postion of course). I believ the pitch of a plane is controlled by the ailerons (spelling?), but I'm not certain.
Roll is your relative postion to the horizon (or any fixed point). Rolling left or right will spin the plane on an axis that runs nose to tail without changing its pitch or its heading.
If this didn't make sense it's because your parents never told you that you're retarded. Sorry to break the news.

Yes all correct, the ailerons (spelling?) are on the back side of the wings these control the pitch of the plane.

The higher the number or the greater the sensitivity that you have in the controls the faster these will react. So if you have them all on one, then you will have a very sluggish plane the will both not react quickly or be able to have as tighter turning circle. But If you have them all up high or highish (depending on where you feel comfortable) you will find that you have to move the mouse alot less to get the same results. The agility of the plane/heli is increased as it will react faster and be able to turn further then before.

Hope that answers your q.

Only a few lines made sense, and i'm pretty sure my parents telling me that would not help to improve upon the logic of the post. :laugh:

My settings are default...I do have a Logitech MX518 and I use customized settings for that. I also ahve one of those huge mousepads too. THis guarantees that you do not run out of mousepad room. If you go to OfficeMax or Staples you can get them for like $12, the cloth ones. I like that mouse surface better than glass or whatever else.

Re: Q for all the mouse Aviators......

Basically the pitch is the "up" and "down" movement of the plane when you "pitch" the nose up and down to raise or lower the plane/altitude of the plane. This is used when doing loops.

The yaw is the "spinning" movement of the plane, where is stays horizontal but it "spins" so you can turn with out actually angeling the plane into a corner. You use this when turning along with the roll.

Finally the roll, this is the, well rolling of a plane so when you come into a corner you roll the plane over slightly or alot to keep the line of the corner as best as you can. When doing a barrel roll you use only the roll of a plane (if done correctly).

Re: Q for all the mouse Aviators......

Technically, the barrel roll requires constant pitch changes.

Barrel Roll: - The barrel roll is a combination between a loop and a roll. You complete one loop while completing one roll at the same time. The flight path during a barrel roll has the shape of a horizontal cork screw. Imagine a big barrel, with the airplanes wheels rolling along the inside of the barrel in a cork screw path. During a barrel roll, the pilot always experiences positive G’s. The maximum is about 2.5 to 3 G and the minimum about 0.5 G

I fly with a mouse and supprisingly I've never altered my flying settings. I'm good with a mouse too, it's hard to get me off your tail.

Yes true, but it can be done simply by rolling the plane, although altitude will be lost.

It cannot. An aileron roll can however.

*shrug* Aileron/barrel roll, to me its all the same. lol.

Ahahahahaha.. just as i dont care whather some one calls it a aileron roll or a barrel roll it doesnt mean i should be killed.. hehe its the grammar/spelling/etc police again.. damn their out in numbers today.. lol.

Re: Q for all the mouse Aviators......

Hey Blak_Phoenix,
How come in your posts when you're qouting me it won't spell "Phuck" or "torture"???
Is that some kind of Nazi spellchecker?

Re: Q for all the mouse Aviators......

Yea that a major problem that my pc has.. lol.. im working on gettin garound it but its not going too well.. im loosing the fight so to say lol.. its tried to block out alot of things, and most of the time i can get away with it, but other times.. well it wins..lol.

Re: Q for all the mouse Aviators......

Roll is your relative postion to the horizon (or any fixed point). Rolling left or right will spin the plane on an axis that runs nose to tail without changing its pitch or its heading.

I'm not sure if you guys noticed this but when you fly in 3rd persons view the plane actually rises as you roll like it follows a circle, not actually changing the pitch but the altitude. check it out...
