The tactical display is quite different on WOFF so I am seeking some input on its interpretation. This is especially true with the two or three rectangular boxes and what they represent. Is there some site where I could learn about this? I have only the download at this point but have ordered the DVD so I am hoping it will contain a manual that gives some guidance on settings and other things about the interesting flight simulation. Thanks for any help. Jim

Well I guess I am the junior member of the over 70 group since Hauksbee has me trumped by a year and we both trail Hood at 90. Oh well 73 is not bad since the good Lord has given me good health and only minor physical problems. Really looking forward to the release of the update which sounds like it might be soon.

Thanks for the review JediMaster. And most importantly for me it has to be run with STEAM and its requirements. Now I don't feel bad at all about passing on spending money and time for CLoD. I am sorry to say but I get the feeling that Battle for Moscow or whatever may be just a ploy to get more cash for a company whose products and policies are on a downward slide.

I was reinstalling OFF and now when I start the program I receive a message about the program not being able to start due to a missing "msstdfmt.dll" file. I have not removed or changed any other files so I am a little puzzled by this message. I did install a good backup copy (Cut & Paste) over the one that seemed to be having problems thinking any corrupted files would be over written by the good copy. Is this the problem and should I have deleted the original and then done the Cut and Paste? IL2FB 1946, Flight Sim 2004, Battle of Britain II, Rise of Flight and others seem to have no problem running. What are the suggested solutions for this problem? Thanks, Tuba2

Thanks for the repost Olham. I will give it a try and expect to see the improvements you have built in.

Looking through posts looking for Olham's TrackIR5 I see I never said "Thanks" for the help/reply BirdDog. "Thanks for the help!!" All three devices are back to working order and I am waiting for the new edition of OFF.

It is great to read so many success stories here. Congrats to you all and keep up the good fight. I am lucky like Olham having never started smoking since I lost my father and father-in-law to smoking cancer. The drinking has always been in moderation so I am free to enjoy an occasional wine or beer with meals. I have been doing better exercising the past three years but the weight has been slowly increasing. I try to convince my wife it is all muscle mass. It doesn't work she just looks at me and laughs but I am in much better health. Now if the new update would just arrive while I am still on the green side of the grass I would be an even happier man. I know only two weeks.

Well I am blind or dense. Is the "If you like, extract it and try it out." still with this post? I would really like to try Olham's revised TrackIR5 profile but don't seem to find a point to click so I can download it.

I am just wondering if anyone has tried this simulation. Doing a search for reviews seems only to bring up page after page of reviews only from the VirtualPilot3D company. That just makes me more than just a little worried about the value of the program.

I have a HOTAS problem where two of the CH Fighter Stick, Pro Throttle and Pro pedals combination will work but not the third. All three are recognized with sound when plugged into the USB plugs and all three show in Device Manager. However, only two of the three functions in flight simulations and there is no response from the non-functioning device when trying to calibrate or program using CH Control Manager V4.52. Each controller works correctly if I switch out a working with a non-working controller. Therfore I assume one of the USB ports is not working. However, checking each of the ports in Device Manager reports they are all functioning correctly. Is there another method for checking if a USB port is non-functional or some other thing I might try to solve this problem? I should mention that all three controllers could be used at the same time until about three weeks ago. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I am in the process of downloading MAW from http://combatace.com/topic/57025-cfs3-expansion-mediterranean-air-war/ . I cannot say anything about corruption of files since it is still downloading. However, I would think that it is a reliable site.

Have a good and safe trip and vacation Olham.

Polovski, Your advice is great. The F Mode key had been pushed on the keyboard. Thanks for the help since this is the second time this has happened to me in Hat In The Ring.

I am reading that the "Lou's suggesting config settings" are the thing to use. However, I don't seem to be able to find that post using "search". Would someone be kind enough to point me to this information? Thank, Jim

Thanks for all the replies. A new computer is on the waywith Win 7 Pro 64bit. Perhaps someday I will get good enough to dare to ventureon line so you all have another easy kill .

New computer purchase is in the cards and I am wonderingwhat problems I would have with flight and other simulators using Windows 7 Pro64bit. I believe Over Flanders Fields, IL2-1946, Battleof Britain II and Flight Simulator X will work but I wonder about European AirWar and some older programs. Does the XPconfiguration setting really allow most of the older programs to work? My search on the topic has resulted in findingboth yes and no answers and I believe members here have more experience withthis question so can provide the most accurate responses.

Thanks for the reply 33LIMA. I will check on that tomorrow and get it corrected.

I believe you can set this in the same screen where you may select the type of mission, aircraft, etc. which has the "Go to Field" choice in the lower right corner.

Strange as it seems I now do not seem to have the Ctrl +Shift + F6 command to shut off the engine fuel supply so I can stop the engine.I do not seem to find the file folder where these commands are stored so I cancheck if it still exists or add it back in if it is gone. How do I find and fix this problem? Thanks, Jim

Good new and big thanks for all the support. I reinstalled FSX for the fourth time from DVD 1 & 2 but then flew. I then downloaded the "TrackIR _5_5.1.3Final" update again. Afterreloading the Acceleration Expansion Pack now I have tracking working.

Thanksfor the answer MigBuster. I have not tried creating a new profile yet since Ionly received the equipment a few days ago. Perhaps I will give that a try thisevening.

Thanksfor the rapid reply Widowmaker. I will check that it is starting in the virtualcockpit setting. I have found where Windows was hiding the icon when in the miniature.(Had to click on the "show hidden icons" arrowhead)

I broke or woredown and got TrackIR so now there much I have to find out and learn. It isgreat in OFF, CFS3, IL2-1946, and others I have tried but I have a fewquestions I don’t seem to find answers for. 1. Is there a checkbox or Config file I have to set in Flight Simulator X? The program runs OK butit does not recognize that TrackIR is running. (No tracking occurs) 2. If you reducethe TrackIR screen how do you get it back to full screen? When I click on theicon it just gives me the message that TrackIR is already running. 3. How can you turnoff the camera when finished flying. (This relates to Q2 since I cannot clickthe button in the upper left on the screen since there is no screen. I havebeen using Task Manager to stop the TrackIR program and then pulling the USBplug to turn off the camera. 4. If the cameraloses the reflective dots and the two lights turn red is there a way tore-establish contact without leaving the game? 5. How do I permanently change the centering commandkey to something other than f12 since it is difficult to reach in my setup? Ichange it but the next time I start the program it is back to f12. Many thanks for any answers you can provide. Jim
