    so, ive come to the realization that the only thing im any good at in-game is gunning a lib, dalton or zephyr.

    i cant fly the thing worth a damn, so im lookin for a lib pilot, or pilots who enjoy flying the thing that wouldnt mind using me as a dedicated belly gunner.

    i've put some points into my lib so i can pull it if the current one gets shot down and the timer isnt up.

    Talk to Nraged,he is in love with flying, he can direct you to where to put the points and what not, and he is always looking for a gunner who is willing to switch to the tail gun when theres a mosquito or reaver chasing you down

    If Nraged is willing to teach I would love to dedicate myself to air superiority Lib escort duty in a scythe. I am a n00b, but I learn well :)

    This may interest you a bit, concerning Scythes ;)
    It's not really educational due to the speed, but I had a blast making it.
    Liberator montage coming soon :sneaky:

    Nice... my plans for the weekend are to try and get the Saitek x52 controls set up for Scythe flying. With the odd pseudo-cyclic control input I may swap out the throttle for the G13 and use the stick on that as my yaw/altitude control since it seems that the yaw is more of a strafe with the scythe. My desk cannot take much more "mouse as roll control" abuse.

    When I program my stick in-game, I get an issue where the stick stops responding for some or all functions periodically, sometimes it's just half a second or less but more often than not it's too long to use it reliably. It really sucks to be coming in for a reload/repair and all of a sudden you have no control.

    I use the Saitek SST programming software to control everything using the stock in-game presets except pitch/yaw/rudder and throttle. The sensitivity is wonky for roll in the Scythe, (Read: overly sensitive) I haven't figured out a way around it but it works great for Lib's in my experience. I set the throttle to use 'Bands' in the SST software, with 95% and above using the ascend command in-game + max throttle for increased top speed and elevation, and 5% and below using descend + brakes for better control. I also use the 16-way hat switch for various functions in 8-way mode. Up being ascend while down is descend, left is third person view and right is reload.

    I still have some fiddling to do, but a video guide is my plan for the future to help other members wanting to use a flight stick setup. For now I use my mouse, occasionally I pick up the stick but the roll is just way too sensitive.

    I enjoy flying but I am usually in a scythe. So if who ever you find to fly isn't on and I am on just ask.

    If you see me flying you can call on me for flying. Also would not mind if i have a constant gunner!

    awesome, thanks guys.

    i really am a good lib. just ask selentic or twistedgrim, or talmaru, although tal usually has someone else gun for him.

    for some odd reason, i rarely miss with lib shots, but i can barely use an infantry rifle

    After flying all night as a dedicated lib gunner with the division I am hooked. All my certs are going to the lib for now. The picture through the belly gun with NV on reminds me of the videos I have seen from the AC 130. My role of choice in this game for now is definitely lib gunner.
