Program very difficult to control #2

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Start it up
2. Raise throttle, start roll
3. Take off

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Any flight simulation, even 2D red-baron, needs to respond quickly to
controls. Whether from keyboard or mouse, the delay in response is far too
great for controlling flight. Like using flightgear with no openGL.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Using 0.1 alpha binary on  Debian Sid/kde4-experimental.

Please provide any additional information below.

To see if controls iself are responsive:
1. maximize game window  and switch to full zoom, to see plane in details
2. move mouse up/down, see if elevator responds immediately.

If it is, problems with controlling may come from:
- game chocking and eating too much CPU power
- difficulty with mouse controlling (it really needs practice)
- bugs in aerodynamics model (it's oversimplified)
- plane's characteristics: slow speed, small elevator area, low engine thrust 
and COG
moved bit forward.

I'd love to know which of these causes your problem.
