Originally posted this on the HELP/FAQ page, but no one seemed to know a cure. Thought I'd try consulting the 'Experten'

Converted the Hurricane I to a IIC/D with desert scheme, Vokes dust filter and optional loadouts of 4*20mm cannon or 2*40mm cannons with shapely gunpods. Trouble is, when you fly it with the 20's, firing makes the plane climb. It's ok with the 40's though.
Is it a recoil effect? Can it be cured?
It makes strafing a little tough!

Still, the can opener 40mm's make up for it........

That's a new one to me. I know the 4 MG's on the Ki61 make the plane rock back and forth on the ground but never had any problems in the air.

Have an images of your new Hurri? would love to see what you've done.

Spanky here..

Yeah i seen that when i played with my sim rate stuff
and even a bit on the ground.

I would also like to see a pic of that

I always wanted to try those 40s out

Maybe you just have to make sure they are pointing exactly level? They probly already are though eh?

I've e-mailed it to FSHANGAR, so if Razer thinks it's good enough, perhaps it may appear. i can only live in hope. Otherwise, I'll mail it to anyone who cares enough to ask....
Now for some real modelling...just found some excellent plan views of the Bismarck...

thank Christ for that, that means I can get on with finishing the Hood, The Yorktown, and the WW1 Deadnaught I'm seriously considering doing to help out the WW1 guys cause.

couple 'o questions...

1) What loadout file did you use?
2) Did you modify the numbers in the loadout? When the guns are fired, a recoil force is applied to the gun which, if high enough, will cause the plane to move.

Loadout was pinched straight from the Typhoon. The cannons on the MkII were basically the Hispano 20mm, only without the aerodynamic fairing. Should have been a simple cut and paste job......perhaps my lining up is to blame?

Is it likely that you're involuntarily pulling on the joystick when you fire the guns?
