[SOE] Planetside 2 Goes Live - Page 70  

I'd like to see a jet built with a 0 turning circle.

Would be nice eh?

If anyone wants to play im VS waterson and NC matterson

For using a 360 controller to fly, does the game auto-detect it or do I have to use some program to get it to work?

im vs on water and i love this game. i will say this this game does not like certain comps.i added a 6670 to my rig and play on ultra setting with no shadows an never drop below 30fps.my son thou with 3 gig c2d and 7770 cant use my setting at all. even at medium settings hes stuck in the 20s.
as for certs arrrghh i hate when i forget to equip them lol
i have yet to run across an aimbot or lagger.....lucky i guess

Just checked. As long as you have a USB controller or a wireless receiver it works just fine. You do however have to bind all the buttons manually the first time around. About to go to bed though, so I hope it works out fine, as I would like to try this for aircraft.

Same I have one plugged in but never thought of using it with PS2

To the guys complaining about mouse sensitivity in flying.

You are actually doing it right. Your mouse sensitivity should be low. What you need to do in order to fly effectively is bind pitch up and pitch down to your thumb buttons on your mouse or something easily accesible on your keyboard. Will make flying so much easier and you will still have precision aiming. In fact I have my flight sensitivity turned down from the default and I average 5-6 k/d in the scythe. Seriously need to try this out.

There are three things involved in roll/pitch turning with a mouse.

The first is sensitivity. If you feel like you're having to move the mouse around too much, up the sensitivity until just before you can't accurately aim your weapons at moving targets anymore.

Second is the type of sensor in your mouse. You will have to pick up and set the mouse back down constantly. Laser mice have a much lower lift-off distance than optical or anything else, so this process becomes much less tedious.

Third is air speed. The slower you're going, the tighter you can make your turns. Don't expect to whip around a 180 real fast if you're going 200 KMH.

I've posted several 15 to 20 KDR screenshots, so I shouldn't have to prove any validity to what I'm saying.

Then there are game-specific aspects to flying like vertical thrusters and the dogfighting airframe. If you don't use your vertical thrusters almost all the the time, you're doing it wrong. I read on another forum that the dogfighting airframe doesn't affect pitch, but I'm not so sure. The tooltip says says it increases turning, rolling, and agility. Turning I'm assuming is yaw, rolling is... roll, so what is agility if it isn't pitch? I haven't put my third point into the dogfighting airframe until I know this for sure. If it doesn't affect pitch, I'm switching to the hover frame. They're honestly neck and neck as far as usefulness goes, even if the dogfighting frame affects pitch. You can get pretty creative with maneuvers and almost stop on a dime with the hover frame. I still may switch yet.

edit:

One thing to add for inexperienced pilots - repair, repair, repair. Even if you're only hurt 5 or 10%, shoot down to the ground in a decent spot and repair it, or just get to the nearest ammo pad and repair there if it's close enough. That 5 or 10% will mean the difference between you getting your next repair off or exploding many times over.

Maybe its the way I am doing it but it isn't ultra. I have played the game long enough to know what high looks like. If you read my previous posts, I stated that there is no difference visually, there is no performance drop, there is nothing that is changing. Whatever the reason it just does not work for me. I have tried EVERYTHING so far.
