Trotski

And now, its stopped happening .......Arrrgh....I hate intermittent problems......however, I would still like to know where to look and see what may be causing this issue, also setting the engines to default off, at mission start

Well, I seem to have run into a new and interesting issue, for some reason, when ever I now start a mission, in any Aircraft or type of mission, for some reason, the throttle seems to be set at 50% by default, so, 2 questions, 1, where do I find the reason for this, and 2, how do I stop it, as it is rather annoying, as some aircraft have crappy brakes and start to roll as soon as the mission starts, which I don't desire to happen at all, also, is there a way to start with the engine off , so a physical start of the engines is required........Thoughts are muchly appreciated.......oh I have desert 4 installed, also sarcasm 1.5 , and cumulative effects , dunno if this will have any bearing on the issue, however I must point out that yesterday, all day, the problem wasn't occurring except with the A-team Hornets Signed you local and mostly friendly confused one.

There is just something, I dunno, fainly romantic.....is that the right expression ? About Silver wings era Aircraft. They were quaint, but very capable, and deadly. I have a love of all things Italian Aircraft wise any how, and I just love the Gladiator, Seen her flying a lot at both Old Warden, and at Duxford. My dreams were answered when I got a 1 hour flight in a Tiger Moth at Duxford for my 50th . I just wish I could afford more !! So bring 'em on I say, Gauntlets, Chirri's etc etc it would be nice if they were transferable to FE2 as well as SF2 , just because lol I salute your skill at modelling these beauties, I wish I had the knowledge and or skill to do it myself !! So keep 'em coming please.

Two of the prettiest ( In my humble opinion ) Fighter bi-planes ever produced, love 'em both. Pretty evenly matched in a fur ball I imagine.

Tunnan,Lansen, Drakken, Viggen....wots NOT to like !! .......gotta love Swedish aircraft.

Oh yeah, forgot to do that bit...cheers

And here is my pride 'n joy with all the decals in the right place....blah blah blah......seriously, thanks for the help, I was going nutz lol

Well bugger me sideways, that's sorted it, I knew it had to be something bloody simple....thanks mate !!!

Hmmm the thing is, they actually do work, but only if you go into weapons loading first, if you don't do this, then they will refuse to display, however on going and adding weapons or whatever, on exit from that screen they do display, its weird, had the issue on other skins I have messed with too, and its only ever the squadron patch ....very odd indeed, not world shatteringly important I know but you get my point. Ok I shall try the level 0 option then, as I haven't started messing with Squadronlist ini's yet......

Hi there, just a quick question, one I am sure I have seen asked and answered somewhere before, however I can't seem to find it, so I am going to ask anew so to speak. basically my problem is this, I am currently faffing about with various Aircraft, to create skins and markings for both the Dhimar, and the Paran Airforces, but I seem to have run into a peculiar issue, I have been adding squadron patches, and or numbers to the noses of various aircraft, and when I go test it, to see where I have stuff placed etc. they absolutely refuse to show up, unless I then quit out of the mission, whatever mission it may be, then re fly and first go into the weapons load out screen, then, on exiting and then flying the missions, all of a damn sudden, just like freakin' magic, the damn things are there, in all their splendour, and correctly positioned etc. Anyhow, my question is, does anyone have an inkling as to why this happens, and how to prevent it from occurring as it is rather tiresome and one is getting rather irritated, so much so I may have to squash a grape, or even jump of a dolls house....any help and or explanation's will be much appreciated.

one word........VENDETTA

I must say, they do look very smart in RAF desert cam always did like the look of the Beagle, are you going to be releasing it when the downloads section is up and running again ?

Well I know they say a landing is a controlled crash.....but that's takin' it a wee bit toooooooooo literally hahahahaha

Bristol fighter was more commonly known as a Biff , FE2 was a FEE , and I am sure I read somewhere the BE2 being referred to as a flying hip bath

I stand corrected, however I was using the analogy as a semi humourus comment on an otherwise very nasty incident , however, I shall most certainly look at the article in question, as a little knowledge is as they say, a dangerous thing !!

they take their footy very seriously in South America !!! remember the Soccer Wars in the 60's or was it the 50's...cant remember

I just tested mine, to see if maybe the latest patch was affecting it, but mine seems to be operating correctly .........so dunno.....I am stumped on that one, gotta be a software rather than a hardwear problem

When I say slave to the mouse, I mean , the throttle mounted mouse joystick will copy what your main mouse will do........hmmmmm don't get why it should occur, mind you this sim sometimes has a mind of its own as you know, it will be something silly upsetting you joy / throttle set up somewhere.........keep trying matey !!!

is your mouse set up ingame for camera movement and zoom in zoom out ? or have you reassigned you mouse controls elsewhere ? the x52 mouse may act as a slave to the main mouse.....so maybe that would affect it, also I assume your x52 profile is up to date if it isn't try updating it . other than that dunno what would cause this problem, mine always works in game, and I have never come across the problem you have here.........if all else fails you could try unplugging your x52, and reinstalling it ? good luck mate

In my opinion....and it is only my opinion, this kind of game is fine, in its place, more suited to xbox/ps3 type gaming not so much for the pc / mac community......but hey different strokes, that's what makes us humans wonderful .....well most of us at least hehehehe

It may be a little too arcadish for our tastes......big Helo furballs like that are maybe a little ott .......but that's just my opinion

hmmmmmmmm........I suppose
