So set-up the cougar and go get trackir.......then sprinkle a little kerosene around your pit area(smell helps with the immersion ) and it'll be like your actually in your own jet seriously, I couldnt agree with eraser_tr more.......I new before I got TIR that it was gonna be good, but it's not just good......it's brilliant my biggest problem is that I cant figure out what I was waiting for should have bought it years ago.

What kind of stick are you using? I use a Saitek AV8R and the program that comes with it allows many options for switching modes for keys, and macros for keys which could allow you to target center veiw and padlock in one key press?? I use trackir so the hat is of little use, so I use the hat for radar, and switch between three different modes Mode off regular pan veiw mode A (BVR) next radar target > previous radar target < lock radar target ^ visual lock on radar target v ( kinda like IFF) mode B (A-A combat ) next visual target > previous visual target < target closest to center ^ target closest enemy v before trackir I always had one thumb button fire selected weapon(which I still use), one button center veiw(which I still use), another for padlock, and of course the trigger for guns with the hat for pan. hopefully some of these ideas might help.

I always thought that when you jettison your tanks it's just external tanks, you still have internal tanks...........am I wrong? this would explain your question.

I'm pretty sure that strike fighters supports 8-way hat input, if your unable to use 8-positions on your "old joystick" it's likely because it only has a 4-way hat........I would suggest you leave your hat as a pan instead of snap-veiw and then set-up a convenient button(preferably on the stick near your thumb) that is "target veiw/tactical veiw" this will snap your veiw to your current target and track it, it works awesome!!! another trick is to be sure that you have another button close to your thumb that will re-center your veiw, that way when you pan around it's easy to get back to center, nothing worse than fighting with your hat switch when your in the middle of fighting with a Mig welcome to Combat Ace

Ruggbutt So is touch buddy game specific, or does it emulate keyboard commands which would allow it to be used for any program? Cheers Rom

I'm trying to get my head around how this works, so these are touch-screen monitors with some sort of (physical)overlay on the screen??or have you designed a graphic image that is displayed on the screen??either way, what program do you use to interface these commands(keystrokes) into the game?

It actually just kind of hangs off the edge of the desk on little rubber bumpers, and yes I made it. Ruggbutt......very nice! What game is allowing you to bring up seperate veiws like that? (assuming those panels are functional)

The last little while I've had some time available to do some upgrades to my set-up, and it's turned out to be........well, Awesome!! so I figured I really wanted to share(show off) what I've been making. And extend an offer for other people show what their set-up (sim-pit) looks like. So here's mine

I for one would love the 'option' to taxi out prior to take-off, but I think the only way to get that now is to use a mission builder and place your aircraft on the ramp or in a hanger.....which I dont think is what you've got in mind....me neither As for the scenery, I personally have the Black Sea Terrain, Southern California, and American Northwest(Oh ya, and the Range).........the only time I fly the stock terrain is in campaigns. All of these terrains are much more entertaining to fly in than the flat pancake also known as Duetchland I am still using the original woe but I think all these terrains are useable in the new series??? As for campaigns with these sceneries, there are a few to choose from, none of which I have tried.

I was actually a bit confused by those remarks as well, the F15 seems a bit.......dated to me. And out of curiousity (because I dont know) why is an F18 so 'medium'? it seems to me to be one of the more versatile and effective planes out there, especially compared to many of of it's contemporaries f14-f15- f16.

I'll be landing in Zagreb in about a month on my way to Rijeka.......three weeks on the beech I cant wait!

Last time I was there you could use either Kunas or Euros for pretty much anything Brain32, where in Croatia are you from?

Yes I did D/L it and put on my flash drive, and I cant wait to get home........however it does seem to good to be true

please say yes :yes: ........someone.....anyone

Dave, if you havent tried this you should give it a go, it's a nice touch, just be sure to really dial back the sensitivity (keycontrolrate) it's originally set to .50000 and I've found that .01000 is about right.

Thats the one .....Thanks

There is a way emulate trim, using the up and down arrows and changing it so that they dont recenter themselves and then you adjust their sensativity.......my problem is that I cant remember where to find the settings to change

Could someone please refresh my memory on how to set up trim..........I've searching the KB for along time now and I know its in there but I cant for the life of me find it. Thanks Rom

It's along story but yes you are right, now that it's done I'm pretty happy with it.......and my old piece of crap rig is doing better handling it than I thought it would, so it has been my loss

Cheers

I've been enjoying the game for a while ............without any patch

thanks guys.....could you by chance tell me what that function is labeled as? I cant find it anywhere in controls menu section

I have always used a no cd exe. to run WOE but apparently it didnt get along with the latest patch.

I was out recently playing around in Bongo's wonderful Typhoon and the center MFD is moving map display which changes to a weapons display when you select either A-G or A-A can anyone tell me, how do I get this display back to being a nav (moving map) display after you are finished with the weapons display ....which button? Thanks Rom

I figured it out
