Firecage

When I go into the page to map keys and controllers the screen is way bigger than I can see and it can't be moved or resized from what I can tell. I have changed to different resolutions and that didn't help.

How can I set a new size for this window so it fits on my screen or scrolls to have it all Showing.

Thanks !

The Saitek has toe brake functions that are X & Y just like the joystick and you can't disable them. Even when I assign them as 'un assigned' they still hold on to the default axis and it causes the problem.

I have a redneck invention I am going to try today to fix the issue and will report back . I know I can't be the only pilot using these pedals so if anyone else has a programable fix please list it here.

I will try my idea and see how it works.

Thanks bud for the help  8)

S!

I have the CH fighter stick. NO FFB

THe stick works fine in OFF, ROF and all of flight sims so I know the stick is fine.

Yet in WOFF the rudder and Elevators just do their own thing at times and will just max out full up down on elevators and full left or right on the rudder.

Looking for any help on this please.

Thanks

I would say if they had given it a name like " capture the airfield" or soemthing like that it would have sounded better. That's pretty much what it is on those maps.

I find I enjoy both games for different reasons. For single player missions I think OFF has it.

For online play there are less issues on lag and warping on ROF.... I am sure others may have different results.

I am able to run full graphics in ROF and my FPS and no warping that I can tell.

I think there is a need for a better campaign generator in ROF.... its a toss up so I guess im forced to play both

Its a rought world when I can have two great sims to play like this....

Hmm and its my birth day as well ... I knew I was in good xompany

Well It finally happened. As you all know my pc has been acting strange and not working right .... it gave up the ghost this week. I have a new HD and install going and I will be around later today to get with someone and see if I have all the files right for multi play games. Not sure if I am going to work today or not... we got a big snow fall and ice under that so the roads may not be in shape for travel.

If I take off today I will get on TS and see if I can find a few of you to test with.

I am pretty sure they are Black Haze squad who are letting us use their TS server to do our stuff. Make sure if you can toi thank them for letting us use their server.

Well I finally got the ice to thaw enough and got internet back. My cable delivery wire had a limb fall and busted the calbe to the house. took a few days for cox to get it back up.

One thing I seem to notice and I wanted to have others see if its the same. In single player mode the colors seem brighter than the same settings in an online game. Not sure why im seeing them clearer in single but I was wondering if its just me?

Well I have always wanted to get somewhere between labels and none.... I think you have a great idea on this. I find the screens just will not let you see as well as the human eye in a real enviroment. Then I turn labels on and it kinda ruins the mood but at least I can figure out where planes are at. THis looks like it will provide a good half way or better option.

Any mods you come up with would be very welcome IMHO.

And now im otw to try this out.

And thank you for taking the time to work this.

Ok I have been testing Tir5 and the 2 different ideas and here is what I found so far.

The Track pro works alot smoother and did not tend to have as many wild mis-reads. This leads to means being able to track and enemy plane easier and not over react on movements.

The Clip pro must be lighter than you had I guessing. Mine clips on my headphones easy and fast. Didn't even notice the weight at all. It will swivel now so you can kinda put in a few different positions.

Only real problem withme is I do not like using headphones when im playing and you need them to make the clip pro attach right. I went to the military surplus store and found an old head mic set and no headphones. SO im going to take that and mount the Clip Pro on the side and use the old mic from the orig WWII and see if It will work on TS.

I think the clip is worth it for the smoothness and more accurate. Its a wierd contraption to look at so don't let the wife laugh at ya when your wearing it

Firecage - Did you have an earlier version or is this your first TIR?

This is my 1st Tir setup. Its doing great and like Red Dog mentioned, Its all in the set up where the movement feels right. I have it set up much better now so its not causing the motion sickness thing

Ok I was a bit worried it might not live up to all the hype.

But I was blown away the 1st tiem I started using the system. I just got it an hour ago and flew a few fast Missions and im amazed.

Now all I need to do is find something else to use the Hat toggle for

I am having some set up things to work up on head movement and how fast it responds/how far it moves in game. Makes me a bit dizzy when it moves around to fast.

I will try and make it to the 7pm session but I may be a bit late aroudn 7:30-8pm

According to UPS my Tir5 bundle should be here tomorrow so I will be racing home from work to test it out properly.

Holidays are over so i should get to a narmal schedule pretty soon. I should be able to make it.

well I have the software installed and the stuff should be here tomorrow if UPS gets it right. If not monday should do it.

I got it for christmas so they ordered it all and im just trying to see who has played with Tir5 alot and whats working the best.

I was also wondering about the head set not being the same everytme as well. I may just run it using it w/o the pro clip as well and see how it goes. I am mostly worried about the amount of time it may take to get used to flying with it. I have alwys been a fan of cockpit only sims but hat switches just dont work well in a dogfight at least for myself.

Also the use of body english as im flying may result in some strange views at times....

anyways... can't wait to stay up all night working to getused to it this weekend.

I have read through the help file here but I wqas wanting to know if anyone had the track clip pro that fits on the headset?

I have one otw to me as a present and wanted to know any info about it.

THanks

.

Sounds good, I will dust off my Dr1 and have it ready for flight.

Now that the retail Christmas is over I should be able to attend.

What campaign are we flying

After I install the HitR expansion do I need to re do all the mad matt and Vasco patches or will still be working fine just as they are?

lol..ok,,thats great...but wht if one of you doesnt?

I haven;t got the new patch yet (HitR). If you need to test something I am around but im on a bit later than normal. I can be a test pilot if needed.

Well retail hell is upon us and im at work 6-7 days a week so no flying online for a few weeks. I may be able to grrab the expansion by then and maybe fly more after the 1st of the year.

Some cool screens of the new planes would be cool if you all are doing some flying.

Just dropped by for a quick happy holidays to everyone.... get fat and stay safe. This is a great community ... thanks for everyones help and friendship this year.

MP Then & Now. ( ) Im a newer player of about 4 months now but MP is what makes this game for me.

Online glitches : (7) Mismatches seem to be an issue quite often. Jittering usually at the start of most encounters. Game freeze ismy peve..... I tired of being in the middle of a good DF and everything just stops. The jittering is a problem since I have been external covering one of the other pilots and I have seen the plane in front shoot and dmg the plane in the chase position. So there are issues with the jittering causing a few mis-kills on human pilots.

Ease of joining MP games. (10) I think I have had one issue that was easily resolved with Duck when I first got online and smooth sailing ever since.

Online hosts. (10) Not just the host, this is just a great group of fliers all around !

Types of MP missions being flown. (10) Just like flying the single player missions but way more fun. We use the game generated missions so we never know whats next. I think thats one of the great parts.

Attitude and behavior of online players. (11) again.... I have NEVER been around anything other than great attitude when we all fly together.

Come join us online and see how much fun the game can actually be with other pilots.
