Author Topic: Why Wallowing??? musketiii Member Member # 479 posted 02-14-2000 03:33 PM                Others have asked about this..after first pass on bomber stream,my speed seems much reduced and I cant maintain horizontal control..I "wallow",in an otherwise perfectly fine AC.Someone suggested a change in the .ini file.Please share experience/observations.Thanks Posts: 95 | From: Ajijic,Jalsico,MX | Registered: Oct 1999  |  IP: Logged JG300x_Hartmann Member Member # 1952 posted 02-14-2000 04:11 PM                I have had this happen a few times. I think the problem is that the computer has to refresh itself. What I mean is, it is looking at the bombers and fighters and setting coordinates. Although I think this only happens when you Alt-N. Anyone else?

Change the line in your EAW.ini file to read Windows Joystick=1 if you have rudder problems. Some wallowing is normal though, especialy at slow speed. The joystick fix is only if your plane has become almost uncontrolable.

I've only heard of this problem in the 262, which I believe is updated in ECA Online. ------------------ "Only the spirit of attack, born in a brave heart, will bring success to any fighter aircraft, no matter how highly developed it may be." - Adolf Galland.

I think turbulance would account for instability,but why should the speed be affected?? I have never flown a real AC,BTW.Would the "bad air",similar to crossing a ship's wake,slow down the AC?I will try flying lateral to stream,see if speed is lowered.Appreciate all input.

Make the enemy formation smaller and see what happens.
