ahh..ok...sorta missread your question... if you get to the hanger drop down, and select controls, you can map any of the existing cfs3 commands in the game, to any keyboard, or joystick button that you want. just dbl click the stock command, and it will ask you what key you want to use for that function. It keeps the stock command, and adds the key you tell it to use, so you will end up with 2 entries for that command. Note that after you hit the key, or joystick button you want, you have to use "tab" on the keyboard to get to the "ok" button if it tells you that key is alread mapped, and you have to juse "enter" on the keyboard to get it to accept the mapping, you cant click on "ok" with the mouse. and,,you have to save the profile as "mine". you cannot have multiple profiles in off,,,unless you want to rename the mine.xca (the default profile off uses), and make another profile (if that made sense)....

1. not sure why you feel the views in cfs3 are limited...you have all the views you would have in any other game, and they are all avialable in off. 2. answered above 3. if i understand your question correctly, you just hit "forward view" to get from any other view to look forward.

Yes, would be much better if it could be done

nope...dvd is ver 1.0 install that... then super patch then 132g mini patch then HIR then minipatch for HIR

pelion and airmofstafa, im way over here in boston, but if you dont get offers from anyone closer to you, pm my your address, and ill get one out to you

Would like to try some things out around 730 edt if anyone is around. Wont take too long, so if anyone has anything else would be great.. (3&4 vinniy ridge?)

wed 730...am on teamspeak....will check in everyso often

730...am on teamspeak

lol...well..actually, it was vonguber,,,,and your right,,,the plane was flying in the direction the smoke is trailing...

Couple of shots of winstons campaign session from saterday. Any one interested in joining in for some mp fun should get in touch with any of the mp pilots. Railyard attack. Got a pilot low making his run All safe and sound back at the home base

If your talking about the runtime error when you start from the off manager,,and you have to exit, and then get to restart again without a problem, seems like a lot of us are getting it. Other than the hassele of having to start twice, doesnt seem to interfere with game play at all. If this is the same error you are having, i wouldnt consider reloading, doubt that its going to go away.

There are seveal mp pilots who would also like to see campaign missions with ppl on both sides, so im sure its going to come around eventually. Big reason why it has NOT come around sooner is that the existing mp pilots understand the foremost reason a new pilot may be hesitant to join into MP is the fear of gettting hammered (human nature......) So we try to keep the sessions in a format where pilots of all skill levels can have as much fun as possible, and human vrs ai is a better theater for that. And keep in mind, hosting games is not rocket science, its actually pretty easy. If this is the venure you would like to see, you could always put up a session for others to join. We would like to see more ppl hosting just as much as we would like to see more pilots playing.

If your in for the long haul with this card...get dx11, I have ati, but if i had money to burn, id probably have gone nvidia

There was a post not too long ago from someone who had multiple monitors hooked up with software control..not hardware. (ie no triplehead).. anyone remeber who it was..or what it was?

when your game starts..hit escape to get to the hanger dropdown and select controls...along where it shows your input device, there should be a calibrate,,,calibrat the stick assuming the throttle works when calibrating, I might suggest you dbl check your settings for thrttle control...maybe the axis isnt mapped right.

keeping in mind this may just be just for my system (ati 4870), i recently redid my settings from scratch, setting all to default, (cfs3config and ccc center) and making ONE adjustment at a time, playing the game, and seeing the effect. Once i got my sliders set, (again, one notch at a time,,one slider at a time), (5 3 3 5 5 ), and resolution, the ONLY setting that helped fps, and overall game play in cfs3config was unchecking dual pass render. checking index buffers, write only buffers etc etc,,,and making changes to texture info resulted in a drop in fps with no apparent improvement in what i saw on the screen. With ANY of the recommended settings,,i was struggling at 14-19 on the ground, and 30 tops in the air. Now im at 45-53 on the ground, and at 60 almost all the time in the air. all the kinda "optionsl" (shoreline render, water effects etc etc) are all enabled. point is,,,if you go in and make a slew of settings, you have no idea whats pulling you up,,and whats pulling you down. And while i know all the "recommended" settings have been around for a long time, they are the settings that have been killing my game.

Ok...i was installing to a new folder, and dragging over to my aircraft folder, guess you cant do that, you have to install into you game. cool plane...but no guns..

hmm,,thout i put in a reply,,but guess it didnt take.. anyways,,yes,,great story.. would love to fly that mission you just did. If you have not flown another campaign mission, it will be in your mission/historical folder as off_camp_mission.xml. if you make a copy and post it, will put it for the MP group to fly. that file gets overwritten everytime you do another campaign session.

I tried this in both off, and cfs3, and the plane would not load... any clues?

not sure if there is a fix for it or not, but alot of ppl get it... i have zoom in/out mapped to the joystick so i just zoom in one notch, and now the screen is full of cloud....

Decided to give trackir5 software another go, and it seemed to work better than when i first tried it, so am sticking to it. Only problem im haveing is even thou "Run on system startup" is checked, it wont start up with the computer. xp64 if it matters Anyone else>?
