  1. The frakkin' end of Galactica.

    I'm glad it's over. I can only take so much dark drama. Week in and week out just got to be a chore to watch. Not that it was not a good show but ol' Walt Disney once said you need a laugh for every tear. BSG was woefully short on laughs.
  2. more tools...... These sims were built to be modded. Having a more robust toolset would get more folks involved. STUPID REQUEST: Allow enemy levels to be set to 0 in Create Flight. It'd be a quick way to generate a Free Flight type experience with any flyable aircraft over any terrain you have installed.
  3. Star Trek Trailer 3 out

    Leonard Nimoy gave it a thumbs up on a recent radio show he was on. Good enough for me. ST needs a breath of fresh air and I, too, am a fan of Abrams other work.
  4. Talk about OFF bashing...

    Yes, I think some of it is simple "sticker shock". We, as a community, have gotten a bit spoiled in regards to freeware. And the worst of us are probably the ones who have never worked on a mod and do not understand the tremendous number of hours it takes to produce even a simple one. To be brutally honest I simply can't afford OFF right now. Games are at the top of my "luxuries" list and are the first thing to go when the going gets tough. And I have more sims right now than I have time to play. I recently got back into F-22 Total Air War and it's substantial modding community. I have ODS to play with. I have only touched the surface of MAW for CFS3. Nice problems to have :)
  5. No. It would be nice. I would not pay for it.
  6. You can also just delete the entire entry for the radar screen. The sim does not mind.
  7. See if there is an f86reflect*.tga in the cockpit folder. A lot of folks use that file to dim the canopy. The file can be safely deleted. Otherwise it might be an issue similar to the A-6 in WOV after the first patch. The LOD file apparently has a transparency value for the canopy that dims it somewhat. This cannot be changed without having access to the source files for the LOD.
  8. You will most likely want to go to your laptop vendor. You can also try Intel. Microsoft will have a driver but it will be only the most basic functions (they provide just enough of a driver to get the system up with basic graphics.)
  9. I hate graphics drivers!! I agree it looks like a driver problem. I have tried to upgrade by Nvidia drivers for my 6800 and it always seems I hit problems that force me to regress to a previous version.
  10. The Default.ini member in the Control(s) folder has settings to control dead zone, sensitivitiy, etc. I have found modifying the dead zone for my throttle a bit solves a similar problem.
  11. I would start with going to the Microsoft web site and finding the absolute lastest version of Directx. (yes, it will be 9.0 but there have been many small updates to directx.)
  12. Sorry. You need to load the map and then download it to the devices. (There is a download icon on the main control manager panel.) For me it's just not worth it. TW sims do not model brakes the way something like MSFS does. It's almost easier and more usable just to map the "B" key to a joystick or throttle button. I was hoping someone with more CH programming experience than I have (and more free time) would come up with a better idea.
  13. brits**ts courts rule again..W**kers

    This is very sad. I guess we get accused of a "cowboy mentality" here in the states but I'm not apologizing for it. We recently had an incident here where some punks pulled a gun on a shop owner. The shop owner was also armed and shot both of them in self-defense. He was cleared as having justification for using deadly force. End of story. Yes, I feel for the families of the victims but what do you expect when you threaten someone with a gun. You can't fix stupid.
  14. He's the man! I am not at all surprised that he is well on top of it. Thanks for the update.
  15. Yup. You may need to make an additional circuit to reduce airspeed or bank back and forth a bit to lose airspeed. I actually land at closer to 155-160 knots. The real F-117 also has a braking chute. I find the wheel brakes work just fine since I don't foot the bill for brake work All in all a great aircraft and one of my personal favorites. Hats off to Marcelo for his efforts on this one. I'm sure it is not the easiest aircraft to model.
  16. Just to clarify. Do you really need the editor to make the weapons available? I thought the weapon pack install gave you a new weapondata.ini. I can understand needing the editor to change the weapons. Or does this differ with the various packs?
  17. You know I'm there for you, guys. I just need a few days to get some other stuff in order.
  18. England shuts down

    "A heavy snowfall was rare in the Shire......." Be glad you're not living in Kentucky, USA!
  19. How did YOU end up here at combatace?

    Yup. Me, too. Never looked back.
  20. Dude! I am downloading as fast as I can!!!!!!! ALL THREE PARTS!!!!!
  21. I have uploaded a MAP and CMS file that shows ONE way to do it. (Awaiting approval.) It is not fancy but it does work. The one issue is that brakes are a toggle in TW sims and you will need to manually release the brakes the first time when starting on the ground. After that the toe function works ok.
  22. File Name: CH pedal MAP file for toe brakes File Submitter: kirbykern File Submitted: 31 Jan 2009 File Category: SF/WO*/FE Joystick Config Files This is probably just one way to do it. The one problem with it is that since B is a toggle I need to manually disengage the brakes when taking off from a runway. After that, press down on the toe will engage the brake, release the toe will disengage. Unzip both files and load the map into CH Control Manager and download. Intended to be a sample.

  24. gameport and usb

    It should work just fine. I was using a gameport yoke with CH USB throttles and pedals with no problems. You will need the Control Manager software to configure the pedals.
