Master Chief

I received an e-mail this morning such as I had never seen and it sent up warnings. If I am concerned about nothing, my apologies, but it certainly seemed odd to me. I have been on some of these forums for many years and never got an e-mail like this. It would usually be posted on the site if nay work was going to be done. Short version: j_1582@hotmail.com Subj: forum update I will be attempting to update the forum. I will shut down the forum on 4/20 and reopen it 4/21. If you cannot get on don't worry it is not your fault. But it seemed strange to me that the name of the "forum" was not posted. Again if I crying wolf I am sorry. Ron Banks MMCM(SS), USN(Ret)

Erik, Thank you for all your help, and for squaring me away. Any idea how I got myself screw up like that. It worked just fine this time. Ron

Erik, Thanks, I believe I have every thing done as you directed. I am logging in as xxxxxxxxx that went fine. For some reason at he top of this screen it stills shows me as logged as Master Chief. I will try a new post and see what happens. It shows further down on this screen that I am setup to receive instant notification. I do appreciate your help. Thank you, Master Chief

Thanks Dagger, I was curious, as the first one I sent the Auto came right back and then nothing. Ron

I am not complaining but is there really a support site at Lead Pursuit? I sent a support question, two in fact, and I received one automated response with a number-thats it. If no one answers at that site I won't bother sending any again. I sent them about 2-3 weeks ago. Master Chief

Thanks Erik, I am sending this back fast reply, but I never received notification. I guess I can live with that, jut check on a regular basis. This is the only site I have encountered with. Please I am not complaining, I just cannot figure out why. Master Chief

Thanks Dagger how is your week-end going? Master Chief

I am encountering problems with the throttle in training missions. I tried the setup but I am still not sure I have it right and to be honest I don't understand everything that I am suppose to do. Presently I am only doing training mission, so as an example Mission one loads learning to fly and immediately the throttle goes to after burner; in Mission to take off and I taxi the screen comes up I am on the taxi Way and I move the joy stick throttle increases . In short I never no what to expect, so it is probably me but darn if I know what to do. This joy stick is the best I have ever owned, but then I only had one other so that does not say much. I do have the 4.2 down load from CH but I have only used the basics. Can anyone help me, Master Chief

Guys this was a major screw up, to much automation. I sure miss the Cold War, it was the era for Nuclear Subs, and I believe it is about to go again. Russia is making some serious moves in their fleet, and China has almost exclusive stated major improvements to their Air and Naval Branches. They have bought several Amphis for Russia and have tested a sub launched SLBM and are building a new FBM to replace the Xia, and they have started building several new SSN to replace the Han. I believe they are serious and becoming more serious everyday. I know the US Navy has started serious planning for possibilities, and plans to increase the Naval presence in the region. China has worked up plans to deny access by us to some of our traditional allies e.g Japan and Korea. Master Chief.

Dagger; I appreciate any help at all. I am still doing basic stuff but enjoying it. I love my Sub Sims, but one thing about these Flight Sims you are always doing something. I really loved Subs and I was on them during the height of the Cold War, and h.ll of a lot younger but darn it was exciting. Some of the subs I served on were in the book "Blind Man's Bluff". I would really like to find out what type of spec ops they do now. I would think we still keep track of the Russian and I am sure now we are monitoring the Chinese, considering their increased Naval operations and construction. Have a great week end shipmate, Master Chief.

Erik what is baffeling me is, if I do fast reply and you respond I recieve notification it works. Just add a reply I do not see notification. Ron

Thanks Cool Hand, That is what I am doing. Like you, I ran the Manual off, and I am just going through the training missions one at a time. I feel I have learning how to fly and take-offs down pretty well and I am now doing the turns. Thanks for the advice and concern, Ron

I am a brand new member, and I am not receiving notification to my post. The forum says I have it enabled, and the only one I have received was a fast Reply. I am sure it is my end, I probably don't have something set right. Respectfully, Ron Banks MMCM(SS), USN(Ret) P.S. I just scrolled down and clicked on Enable so we will See what happens.

Good morning Dagger; Thanks for the advice and I will take it. I was a Machinist Mate, Nuclear trained, Submarine qualified. Dagger I never bad mouth the United States Marine Corps, they have guarded Navy gates for over 200 years and we have never lost one, now that is an enviable record. I need a favor, the next time you respond to one of my post would you please e-mail me as I am still not being notified, but it says I have instant notification setup. subsailor@wildblue.net Again thank you for the help, I am determined to learn these flight sims this time out Have a good one, Ron

Dagger. I used fast reply on my last and your answer came right back. It says I am setup for notification so I will watch and see what happens. You know us old Chiefs we could screw up a bowling ball with a feather duster. I play 688i, SC with SCXIIc, and DW with all the mods. I do qiuite a bit of scenario design on SC and DW, if you ever go over there I am listed as Sub Sailor. I am really trying to learn Falcon 4. I do have a question do or will I use all the buttons in this sim. I have spent most of the morning just working on different displays. No way I am ever going to remember all of them. I am also still working on my setup. Some times when I start a training mission I am already accelerating. So I need to work on settings some more. I hope my Joy Stick is adequate as I am not in a postion to buy a new one. I would like to get SH4, but can't afford the upgrades to run it. I am right at the low end and everyone say you have to have closer to 3Gigs to run it. Master Chief

Hey thanks guys, I appreicate all the help I can get. I still enjoy my Sub Sims, but it always bothered me that the only thing I could master in an Air Sims was crashing. When I had this surgery and knew I would be laid up for a period of time I decided this was a great time to try again. Most of the flight sims I have are older than dirt, my F/A 18 OIF would play on XP. I had given my joy stick away, it was a very cheap one any way so I bought a Flight Stick Pro and Falcon 4 AF. I will be honest I learning I have basic flight down and I am doing well in taxi and take off. Today I will try to learn to land-never was worth a d.. at that. On key board I had an e-mcahine board hooked up and swaped it out for a microsoft board just to see it that would make a difference, can't really tell. I wish I could get a copy of the Key setup but can't copy the one one the setup screen, darn there are a lot and I have not figured even 15% of them yet. Some thing I don't understand with this site, I am setup for notification but I don't recieve them, any suggestions? Well now wait a minute, I just noticed a box at the bottom of this and it was not check, so now I will see what happens. Any way I do appreciate the help, Master Chief

Thank you I will try a re-map. I will stop by, I usually play sub Sims and I learn so much from those forums and hope to do the same here. Thank you, Ron Banks MMCM(SS), USN(Ret)

I am brand new to this site and I am brand new to flight Sims. I played them before a long time ago and was only good at crashing. I just had back surgery and I am on limited duty. I went out and bought myself a couple of Sims, and a decent Joy Stick. I am working on Falcon 4 AF and so so, but my key board does not jive with the the key on the setup. I have not changed anything and I doing training missions. I have not made any changes so I don't know what the problem could be. Also how do you change which model you fly, the one I have now is a two seater but I don't have a clue how I got that one. I am going to have a tome of questions, I hope that is OK. Thank you, Ron Banks MMCM(SS), USN(Ret)
