I am new to the Triggers function of the ME because I skipped BS... I am back with this great community now with LOFC2 and I love it. I have a question : I read the manual and several posts, and in general, the concept and functions of the triggers are quite clear but I dont understand the concept of FLAGS ??? What is fa flag, how does it work and how is it used? Obviously we are not talking about a bit of colored rag respected by citizens of one nation...:music_whistling: Can someone explain to me what si it? thanks a lot JEFX

I have the same problem. I use an all-CH gear and usually I have been using the CH manager to do the programming of my HOTAS. It was easy to assign 'W' to the toebrake, although it was not an 'axis' but rather a crude brake. Now, for the heck of it, (and perhaps following one advice by Wags that it was far better to use the in-game profiler for each aircraft) I have been doing my programming in-game for LOFC2. The program works great! But... There seems to be no axis for toebrake and the keys list doesnt recognize the toebrake axis of the CD pro pedals as a key either... any ideas, Wags? Perhaps in an uncoming patch, these axis could be added? right and left independantly?:D thanks JEFX

the new website is up and running (not selling yet...) and it DOES recognize us. With my login and password, I got access to my old profile (that even kept in memory my Flaming Cliffs 1 purchase codes). There is some detailed info about the new product that is interesting reading! GREAT!

Barso, Welcome to this wonderful crowd of enthusiast simmers! If you are looking for mods, perhaps I can point you to a (rather oldish) thread that I had put together that has had some success, describing many good mods. Forgive me for the newer things are not included, since I have not upgraded the thread. Nevertheless, it might prove useful.:smilewink: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=28186 Cheers JEFX

:) Thank you Rooster... I know. I have been flying combat sims for many many years (and that makes me older but its OK... I was just sharing the (relatively new) pleasure I had to discover a very hardcore kind of flying. But you know, in the world of combat, if you can see your ennemy better, or if you can see the ground or air units better, it is great! (it is not cute scenery)... please lets remain respectful. But if you are flying with your head into the HUD, it is not so good... I just want to make the whole adventure evolve all together, no disrespect to combat flight sim intended! If Lockon Flaming Cliffs 2.0 BECOMES TripleHead2Go-friendly, it will be amazing for real immersive combat!:thumbup: JEFX

?????Flaming Cliffs 2.o and TRIPLEHEAD support ????? Dear Wags, Grove and the whole team, Thanks for this great piece of news! Long life to LOFC. I have been flying Lockon since day 1. I read each post and participated as much as I could for a long time in this forum. BUT... I stopped a year ago when I got my TripleHead2Go setup together... I had been dreaming at other people's screenies and really, when I first got it, I was totally amazed by the level of immersion such a grand sceen and scenery was giving me: (you can see my post on this topic http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=31499&highlight=triplehead where I explained how to set it up with the help of Joe, ggg87, Teka Teka and Ratcatcher). But after a while, I gradually left the game aside because of the difficulties generated by the visual limitations (due to insufficient resolutions in the engine). Even when tweaking the config file the way we explained, one still had to zoom out considerably in order to see PART of the flying instruments. And even so, you ended up lying with the head in the windshield... making it very difficult to look for ennemies in the sky... It was said later that Black shark would solve this issue. I bought Black Shark, of course!, and was very disapointed to see how much of the same problem there was. Oh Yes, they had incorporated a native 3824x1028 res in the setup page, but still, you had to zoom out to see something (which, by the way, has a HUGE impact on frame rates, unfortunatley making my rig unable to cope with the demand...). I ended up leaving both simulations on the shelf for a while and discovered X-Plane! I must say that it has been quite an experience, because I found that, even the simplest Beaver or the magnificent MU-2 Marquise were quite a challenge to fly, navigate with real life procedures and land with such a realistic flight model... And in terms of TripleHead2Go friendliness, one cannot find better : you fly in beautiful 3D cockpit but still the proportions are normal, you just see more scenery, more real weather, more mountains, on each side!!! (with no frame rates problem). Now, in my heart, I long for this kind of experience in Lockon... I dont think that DCS BLACK SHARK solved the very wide screen resolution problems AT ALL. My question is therefore : will this problem be addressed in FLAMING CLIFFS 2.0 ???? Besides, it will be good for widescreen users in general, not only TripleHead freaks... Thanks in advance for taking the time to patiently answer our questions and bravo again for one of the best customer service in the industry! amitiés, JEFX

LoyalNine, Try this thread : http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=31499 JEFX

GREAT! no more problem. Solved! Fantastic. I will start experimenting with it, but I feel that your fantastic program will make me come back to LOFC. I have left it aside recently and I kind of really want to come back to love it again... thank you so much! JEFX

Thanks DoctorK I will give it a try just now. I was pretty much off line with too much work in the last few days... JEFX

Dear DoctorK, Just wanted to ask if there is any hope that you can fix our little problem (mentioned on the wrong thread...) http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=612724&postcount=20 thanks JEFX

OK Just to make sure, I downloaded XP SP3 and installed, installed .net 3.5 again, everything is good and still I get the same error message, do you have any idea DoctorK?

I have the same issue...:(

Thanks! Missed that one. Will be looking for more info eagerly! Best customer service ever seen!:thumbup: JEFX

Bravo again, DCS:BS is great (downloaded it the first day it was available in english). I have a question though : we got some news from MATT that the DVD version will be ready for march 09 but no news about the enhanced printed manual for purchase that was announced before Xmas ??? I remember hearing about early 2009 ? For my part, being a manuals-type of guy, I am very much looking forward to that manual to study the sim in depth wherever I travel. Thanks in advance for the update. JEFX

Hello Hannibal, You are correct about the 'black bands', because when you use Bezel management to link images, you move the image of the leftmost monitor virually to the right and the image of the rightmost monitor virtually to the left, therefore linking with the middle image without gap. The result, is a loss somewhere in the width of the images equivalent to the with fo the bezels... But, if you havent experienced it for yourself, it looks worse on a picture than in real life... The big difference is motion... When everything is right and you use it in the simulator (or any game, I use it with great immersion in FarCry2!!!), you forget both the bezels and the loss at far left and right, because the image moves. The only drawback with a TH2Go setup is finding the right snapviews in order not the get the bezels in the way, but it is quite easy. Hope this helps. JEFX

Hannibal, If this can be of any help, look here, I posted a detailed tutorial about Thead2Go: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=31499 good luck and dont hesitate to contact me, it is a great immersion experience once it is set correctly! JEFX

Thanks guys. It is better now (a bit later in the day...). It's coming : DCS:BS for Xmas!!! JEFX

Where are you located? I am in Montreal Canada. JEFX

Great news! I paid my copy of BS and started dowloading... Very Happy! Congratulations ED (DCS...) for having squeezed it before Xmas. It is a great present! Many Thanks. ...until I look at the counter : below 20 KB/sec... (only one of the 2 files will take 3 days...:() and I have a very fast connection here usually... What's wrong ??? JEFX

X-plane 9 Personnaly, I think you are forgetting X-plane 9. It has, according to many pilots, one of the best FM (civilian) out there. JEFX

Thank you! That is already much better then before. You guys are great! JEFX

I read somewhere else that there was no copy and paste in BS??? It was announced a while back that there would be for sure and I personnaly thought that it was a must! In FC it is real drag to insert many elements (even a bunch of decorative aircrafts and ground vehicles parked at an airport can take half an hour to tweak one by one...) If it is true it is very disapointing:( for mission builders... Maybe the person who said that was wrong (please?) thanks JEFX

Hey! Welcome to the wide-eyed-community! JEFX

Hannibal, This IS the main difficulty with such a setup, even with TH2Go. The game is not optimized for such resolutions, therefore we look at the game with the 'nose in the windshield' and we need to zoom out a lot. With the zoom settings that I described in my thread 'how to setup TH2GO for LOFC' http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=31499 I can look down (with Tir or not, and YES I can see the stick and lower protions of the dash. I dont know how to post screens because those screenies are so big and wide...sorry. JEFX

Thanks Rich (and littlejohn), I have most of Teka's mods but didnt know about the last one (Vehicle LOD distance mod)! It did help a bit, but still, I would like to know which param. to play around with it myself... It doesnt solve all the problem : now I the big square box becomes a vehicle at a mile and a half, which is better than before but still way too close, especially looking at it through a res. of 3840X1028...
