Annoying deadzone in the centre using TrackIR

Hey all,

I fly with TrackIR and I use completely flat curves with all axis on, trueview, 15 smoothing but I have an sticky centre. More than sitcky, what it happens is that when my view crosses the centre, I get like sucked in to it which it is quite annoying in a dogfight and it doesn't feel smooth to look around with this.

I have checked YouTube videos from other people and it doesn't happen to them. Also DCS is completely fine and TIR software shows completely smooth movements.

Do you know what may be happening?

Video proof: https://streamable.com/u1yv76

I have been fighting this issue for years, I even tried more obscure causes of the issues like this one without success.

Thanks in advance,

Need help with an annoying part of Il2 1946

Hi,

I am aware that this is going to be a short post, but that's because my question is pretty basic.

So basically, in Il2 1946, there is this annoying mechanic where if you try to land anywhere that is not a runway or an aircraft carrier at a reasonable speed (not ultra-slow), the moment your gears touch the ground, the plane will bounce an unrealistic amount. I get what the developers were trying to do with this (simulating ditches and stuff), but they kind of overdid it.

Is there any way I can remove this feature? Like, is it possible to go into the game's code and get rid of the bouncing feature? Or can I somehow create a map on the full mission builder that is just one big runway? I would appreciate it if anyone could give me advice on this.

Another goofy session with the Clowns on the SAS 1946 server

This is the end of an alternate history 1946 Axis battle of the Falklands. The minuscule airfield featured in this video is a common sight in many missions on the SAS UP multiplayer server. It is a place that the players on both teams can fly to for a challenging landing experience and clown-like fun.

Easy Mission Generator Tweaking

Is there a way to adjust EMG missions so that enemy AI planes keep spawning and actively seek out targets to engage? Currently, they tend to only go for the initial objective, then either return to base and vanish, or circle high above their airfield without attacking other objectives. I'm hoping to make them take off and pursue objectives until they're all eliminated.

In l2 1946, is it worse for aiming to activate the aligned crosshair with ctrl f1?

In YouTube videos, good players do not use it, so I suppose it is better when aiming at enemy planes.

Is this game similar to Warthunder?

I've just come across to this game on tiktok and am wondering how different it is than Warthunder.

As far as I know in this game more than a year a person can control a tank or an aircraft and I think it's also a FPS shooter game like you can get out of the tank and actually shoot people (?)

If it's sim, I don't care because I really like playing Warthunder in sim mode.

Why are my 1946 replays so much different than what happened?

In the game, I shot down an enemy, got attacked from behind, ejected after entering a stallspin, then parachuted to safety.
In the replay, I'm shooting at thin air, the kill I get is shared (unlike the game), bullets come at me from thin air, and then my plane crashes into parachuting character and kills player.
I'm using VP Modpack for 4.12.2 mega patch + graphics extender.

Cliffs of Dover mapping vkb ww2 throttle question

I for the life of me cannot get the gear or flaps mapped on the thq vertical panel. Everything thing else is mapped to my liking I think. Software is semi confusing anyone have any tips. Combined with the confusing CoD mapping interface it’s been kind of a nightmare. Any help is much appreciated!

Historic accounts of pilots mentioning how difficult it is to spot targets?

Ive been playing on a server without icons and a friend has been complaining a bit about it being difficult to spot the enemy. I was wondering if anyone knows off hand where I could find some historic aces mentioning how difficult it was to spot aerial targets? I did some searching and in an old forum post I found someone mentioning that Erich Hartman spoke about this topic in his autobiography and I have since started reading through The Blond Knight trying to find it.

Does anyone else have any other leads for me to look into? Would like to compile a collection. Will update with what I find in the meantime.

Bf-109 still flying with horizontal stabilizer missing a good bit?

Sorry if already asked, but I was flying a quick mission and managed to shoot most of the right side stabilizer off. There was still maybe a third or less left close to the fuselage.

The 109 retained controlled flight. Not dog fighting but still under control.

When the Spitfire gets a few holes in the elevator, it starts to float and just be like a balloon.

Any thoughts?
