Getting hammered

I've been spending time on my RF G3 sim lately. I really wish to learn to torque roll. I have been using the Yak 54 with 3d setting, most similar to my actual plane. I reduced physics time to 80%, and it took me a couple of days, but I got better. I upped it to 90%, and am now medeocre. At full speed I'm terrible. The tail swings wildly, and I am always essentially out of control. I have varied my ele and rudder expo from 65-80% trying to settle this down. What I want to know is, what do competent 3d pilots tend to use for expo on the rudder and elevator? I know there is no one right answer for everyone, but there are trends. I wonder what is the most likely setting. Please chime in with what you do.

It depends on the airplane and radio. On milder stuff, 75%. On crazier stuff, as high as 90. I also run super short sticks which means I like more expo.
I never liked the Yak in RFG3. The controls go very numb in a hover/TR. My favorite was the Cap with a few tweaks, but it's really quick. Try using the Cap with the sim speed at 75% and see how you like it. |

On the same subject of torque rolling. This is what I find I'm doing. Keep in mknd, this isn't a concious choice, but what seems to be happening. When the planes top or bottom faces me, I make corrections with rudder, and when it's in profile, I correct with elevator. But, I can't seem to make corrections vice-versa, and I tend to wait for it to turn enough so I can see what correction is needed. I don't know if this is just because I am using a sim, and I will be able to see better in real life. Do you guys make rudder corrections when in profile? I can see pitch error in any postion, but when the top or bottom in facing me, I usually dont see the error till late, and the correction is too big.
I also notice the plane creeps toward me. Even in zero wind, after about 5 rotations, the plane which started over the grass is right where I am. I dont know. Just keep practicing. |

Well after much debate on what to fly I ended up with something that still fits in the car. But this is one sweet looking biplane. Cant wait for its arrival!
