    Oh well, and stick button don't match the real one anyway. So I guess what's convenient works. Just don't want to put an unrealistic function on them. Is trim simulated in the game? Most games would use the hat switch for POV. Don't have any use for the hat stwitch now since I use TrackIR so I'm thinking of a nice function.

     

    At an airshow a few years back I had a chance to chat with an F16 pilot while we both stood on a platform beside his f16 looking into the cockpit :ok: .......it was very cool!! when asked, he explained that one of the toggles on the stick was trim, and the hat was for moving the curser on the radar to acquire targets........perhaps you could set up your hat to control the radar (up) to cycle, (left,right) range,(down) to acquire target...........as for the trim, yes you can set-up the game to use trim, do a search and you should find it.

    So I found myself snooping around on Streak Eagles web page http://mysite.verizon.net/streakeagle/StrikeFighters.html it's actually a pretty helpfull page with some great resources :good:

    One thing that really caught my eye was a link to a progy for voice activation of various aspects of the game http://mysite.verizon.net/streakeagle/SFP1Shoot.html this seems very intriguing to me for radio calls..........the idea of saying "wing attack my target" instead of searching for "tab-1-1" sounds to good to be true :rolleyes:

    Has anyone tried this? and if so, is it any good?

    Cheers

    I'm ashamed to say that I bought it (version 4 I think) a few years back and never got into it. I need to fire it up again and see what the fuss is about.

     

     

    I know from my limited time trying someone elses Trackir that it can be.........awkward at first, but from everything I've read you just need to push through that adjustment period and then youll never look back, also apparently keeping the sensitivity down at first can help getting adjusted.

     

    I've got about three weeks to wait and I'm sooo fired up about it :rolleyes:

    Hey Guys

    I currently have an unpatched version of WOE that I have set up just the way I like it :ok:

    I'm getting very close to pulling the trigger on a Trackir.......my question is, does WOE support Trackir out of the box or will I need to re-install and patch-up to get it working?

    Thanks in advance.....and sorry if its allready in the KB but I didnt see it :rolleyes:

    This has a couple of articles about bombing and how to do it http://www.simhq.com/_air/air_055a.html the first article is fairly easy to get your head around and it works pretty darn well :good: the second one is much more involved, but definately a good read. Basically the first article says 10000ft at 400kts until your 4miles away from target, aim reticle on the target in a dive until about 1mile from the target......and pickle!........pull up and watch in your mirrors how well you did :clapping:

    As mentioned earlier.......'the Range' is a must have.

    The idea of a Norway scenery and campaign makes me think of my first love in combat flight sims Jetfighter 3, it was a scenario where the evil Russian empire :wink: invaded Norway to take over an extremely lucrative oil well industry.....So you were sent in as part of a multinational defence team to fend off the communist aggressor :good: It was all F22 and F18 being flown from carriers and it was great fun. It was actually very similar to TW games in a "sim lite" kind of way.

    So, by far my favourite plane the last little while has been the f-18a, the two things that annoyed me with it were the automatic flaps, which I have fixed, and controlling the flaps makes a huge difference when on final, now the nose drops down (like it should) with full flaps allowing a slower approach with much improved visability :ok: especially when trapping :biggrin:

    The second issue I am hoping someone can help me with, when calling up a Maverick to strike a ground target, my radar screen turns white and blank, is there something I need to change in order for it to show the tv screen target veiw that I assume it is supposed to show? the mavericks still seems to work and hit their targets, and this tv screen function works in my A-10 just not in this f-18a.

    Any help would be appreciated

    Wango Tango.......Welcome

     

    My first suggestion would be to turn off the FPS counter :wink:

    Then saddle yourself up and go learn how to enjoy this game cause it is alot of fun. 40 fps aint that bad for a flight sim, they say that anything over 25 the human eye cant distinguish the difference, thats a debateable statement but trust me, if you turn off the counter (which consumes FPS's) then you wont know that your game isnt performing as well as you think it should, and the next thing you know you will be having fun Mig hunting.

    Personally I always keep all the cockpit detail way up, and everything else at about half throttle (including horizon distance) I've got a tired old piece of s#%t for a computor and I get about 60cpu and about 40gpu........granted I dont have the latest patch, which from what I understand is an FPS killer :rolleyes:

    Good luck with this very fun game.

    Cheers

    I am trying to get the EF2000 to work on my unpatched version of WOE, in the readme it states this

     

    The Typhoon is set up specifically for WOI so some of the eye candy and instrumentation won't work in WOE/WOV/SFP1 untill the latest patches are released, I have included a folder with the AVIONICS.ini file which will stop the Typhoon CTD in WOE/WOV etc.. drop this file into the typhoon folder.

     

    the folder that is supposed have this this file is empty :dntknw: so I tried to load it up and you'll never guess what happened.......CTD as promised, does anyone have this avionics.ini file and would it be too much trouble to maybe PM the thing to me? or maybe someone could tell me what I'm doing wrong.

    Well Lexx you hit the nail on the head, I needed to set the AC as player :good:

    So I go into the game choose my flight it loads up and I'm on the runway facing the wrong direction and then I explode in a glorious ball of fire, like I'm in a Pinto that has just been rear-ended :rolleyes:

    Here is a screen shot of my mission perameters.....anyone have any thoughts on what I need to change?
