Flying the Defiant

[gosd]

Playing around with the hobbitt missions ;CFS3 Defiant PSV Patrol HH 01 and following in ETO era 2.
Can't seem to get the Defiant to stay in a straight line when attacking; in the gunner position, the plane goes faster and above the target making the gunner position impossible to get a hit.
Is there a way to stabilize the flight pattern of the Defiant so that the gunner can do is job??

Have you tried putting it on autopilot before changing to the gunner's position? I seem to remember that in autopilot, it keeps the attitude you left it in, rather than 'the pilot has control' where it goes off by itself in the wrong direction...

I have had great success with the auto pilot..
Set the throttle to match the bomber speed and altitude, then set the auto pilot..
Hop in the back and start shooting!
Good Hunting!!

gosd, try the mission pack I've build, the setup has been tuned specifically for the Defiant:

Just noticed that the auto pilot feature does not work in my version of ETO.:blind:
Must have made the setup with something other than version 3.1.a.:isadizzy:
Is there a way I can add this feature without doing a complete reload ?:kilroy:

what happen exactly when you press the autopilot?

Led Zeppelin,
