First impressions, feedback on problems

[onlyforbrian]

I'm hoping the developers see this. I realize the game is still in development, only at 32%, so on trying the game for the first time, here are my thoughts, and problems I ran into. I should mention that I'm a licensed pilot. First of all the graphics are amazing, the exhaust flames and head/cockpit shake are outstanding! Very realistic. Flying the plane, and the controls are very precise and realistic. Now here are a few glitches that I ran into.  I'll start by saying that I am using a thrustmaster T1600m joystick. I could not get the plane to take off in manual mode at all!! It seemed like the right wheel brake was stuck on, the plane just makes circles to the right at any throttle setting, I couldn't even taxi. Even removing the individual brake controls (period, comma) did not solve the problem.  I could only take off in autopilot.  Other glitches, I had to set the throttle to my joystick throttle, but it seems I just have 75% throttle . I must use the = sign to obtain the last 25%. Also I couldn't get the guns to fire, they are also set to my joystick buttons but neither the buttons or keyboard will fire the guns. Once in the air, switching from autopilot to manual control, the plane handled fine except for the 25% throttle loss.

You need to select prop max revs to take off - i.e. the lever fully forward.

 

Guns aren't implemented yet.

It's sated that armory guys are in R&R for the next ~two weeks...
