I did not understood the bias. See, pitch, yaw, roll, thrust, all the same as in FSX and DCS but bias however...that is freakin AWESOME!

@Red River Studio RE: control naming
Pitch, Roll and Yaw. It works for aircraft, and skimmers fly.

I made Steam Controller Config this afternoon, but I'm having a lot of trouble getting Dynamic Bias to feel the same way it does with a HOTAS. Without the physical feedback of a throttle in your hand, it's very challenging to balance the Bias between 80% and 90%. However, I expect if I had a differently designed craft, this could work better.

@Torus: RE: Analog Bias Control...
I have a physical throttle (hand forward, hand back) mapped to control Bias. When I push it forward, my top speed increases, but my craft quickly starts to lose altitude.
Piloting my skimmer is a game of balance, continuously pushing forward to ~90%, then pulling back to ~80%. I can pull back harder if I need to navigate over a hilltop, and push full forward to lose altitude.

If I take my hand off the Bias Control for more than a moment, I crash in flames.
Controlling my craft this way is what made me fall in love with V36. It gets your whole body involved.

@Torus, I keep my throttle pegged at 100%, and I use 'Bias' like the throttle.

It amounts to the same thing.. higher % Bias means more energy going to my forward momentum. The pea-soup air is good enough to slow me down on its own, so all I need to do to turn is pull back, and decrease the bias/increase turning force. Works like a charm.
I also have to slightly adjust my bias continuously to maintain proper altitude. I think it's a side effect of using only 2 Lift vectors... Basically it feels like my craft is always falling forward.

@Red River: I like Pitch Yaw and Roll, but if I recall, I had to do some funny stuff to get 'roll' to work. I think I had to invert input form the left side of my craft.

@Red River: I'd swap "rudder" for "horizontal" and have them called "pitch" "rudder" (or "yaw") and "roll".

Does anybody have any suggestion to what I can rename Rudder to? Horizontal, Vertical, aaaaand.....

Thanks about the lap times, where did the show up? I just checked in game, seems like there was a reset recently.
Yes, with roll I meant rudder. I experimented a bit with it and ECU programming, but never got to the point where I felt more control.
I just mentioned the bias as a advanced control, as you also target beginners with this guide. I would tell them to learn to control the ship first, than later add rudder and dynamic bias.

How do you use dynamic bias by the way? I have to adjust it incrementally (the longer I keep the button pressed, the higher it goes). I assume, the best option is absolut control:
If me throttle wheel in my joystick would not be broken, I could set it a the prefered spot, and gain muscle memory, which postion responds to which bias.

@Torus: Thanks!! I appreciate the corrections, and I salute your lap times. I will correct my description of Jump.

When you say roll is not required, are you referring to Rudder control? I have made *heavy* use of dynamic bias for all leagues, but I think my craft are unconventional.

Thanks for your work. But some of the explanations are incomplete. E.g. jump is simply a shortcut for putting the bias at 10%. So 90% go to the lift vector.Therefore jumping does not generate more heat or uses more fuel. But the cooling is better with higher speeds, so when jumping on the spot, it is very easy to overheat, as the cooling from airflow is missing. I would also mention that roll is not required at all to race, and a beginner can leave the bias setting at a pleasant level thorughout the whole race.
