Maybe a video with your hands and the controller in the shot as well.
We can hear you slapping the controller around in the background,would be nice to know if it's a short stab at the air brakes or small side shifts your using.
And how your getting consistent barrel rolls,mine are far less so,well hit or miss to be totally honest a lot of the time,still haven't got the hang of the damm things,seems to be dependent on which controller I'm using and if it's a full moon or not.
Zone Pilot
Well, I am already happy that I could record it like this! I think I am not able to record my hands too, sorry!
Consistent BRs are very difficult, especially in the beginning I had to adjust my thumb movement from the PSP. The D-pad from the DS3 is somehow reacting different. When I tried to put my thumb in the middle of the D-pad and gently rubbing it left-right-left it reacted better. I hope this will work for you too.
Veteran Pilot
Yeah,rubbing my thumb over the D-Pad is what I'm resorting to,the problem I've found with that is, that because your hand position is dictated by the shape of the controller ,instead of being able to position your thumb [North/South as on the PSP ]and moving your thumb [East/West] to do a barrel roll.
On the controller your thumb tends to sit across the D-Pad in a [N/E-S/W position],so when I go to do a BR it either doesn't happen or it does happen but I've veered either left or right,and BR into something.
I have to move the whole of my left hand to line my thumb up to BR successfully.
PITA.
Makes me wonder why the decision to keep the control input to achieve a BR were still linked to the craft steering in HD,knowing that the interface had been changed.
I guess a controller mod of some type in on the cards for me.

It took me time but eventually i did watched, commented and rated all your videos Matthijs : pure hot-show you offered us : keep the good work up !
I really enjoyed those vids like the one from ProblemSolver zone 101 rocks
Thx guys to put your spare time doing this

Thanks Mad-Ice for those avalon vids, very nice work, i'm waiting patiently for the next !
one or 2 questions though. It seems to me you manage to place 2 side shift into the same turn sometimes. This is something i tried but i gave up rapidly with the conviction it was impossible. For me you have to stop turning and then turn again to be able to do another side shift ... and with the analog stick it's ... HARD (in the same turn ...)
so can you confirm you do this please ?
2nd question in ubermall or chenghou, do you pause thrust in the chicane or U turn ? i think i heard the reactor noise in ubermall ....
thx ! and keep up the very good work !
ps: problemsolver, dling your vid atm, i'm sure it'll be amazing
Zone Pilot
Thanks Arnaud and I am happy that you enjoyed them. Superb that you commented and rated each and every vid. Big Thumbs up!!!
You are welcome chboing. To answer your questions: Yes I am able to sideshift 2 times in the same turn. Airbrakes are located on R1 and L1, when I tried it with R2 and L2, I was not able to do it too! Try to make a little pause between the two sideshifts, if you press too fast after the first sideshift it will only be an airbrake move.
Yes, I sometimes let go of the thrust in the U-turn and the chicane of Chenghou Project and Ubermall. When my line isn't perfect I adjust with decreasing the thrust.
On the reverse ones these turns are far more easy and can be taken full thrust!

can't see the explotion of the craft. Quite unfortunately, the memory was
full after I had reached zone 101. However, the fade out of the video (the
heartbeat, the flatline, ...) sums up my feelings at that very moment.

Here is a new vid of the Avalon event of last weekend! Thanks Kanar for hosting again, thumbs up!!
Chenghou Project TT with the most amazing start for all others but me, very funny to see this turbo start. I hope you all will enjoy it.
