Beta2 patch incompatible withe training missions?
ilikepie replied to SCRAMJETZ's topic in Mission and Campaigns
i'm hearing ya.....same thing for me........just lots of random failures...hangs and general all round crap-sandwich's. (not that i'm complaining, as i am sure ED are working their balls off) i found rolling back a driver set (ATI) help a bit, didnt stop crashes but i could play a bit. Training missions for me are a total right off, same as you, not a happy camper about it, but, it what it is, and its just WIP. i went back to B1 to get some training time as some is better than none and its still very satisfying. it will improve, i have no doubt. its just the joys of being a lab rat.....:thumbup: i keep trawling through the forum and try various things,if i find something that works for me i will let you know;) -

New to Trackir need some tips
ilikepie replied to Rocky49's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
have you adjusted the light filter threshold? if you open the TIR software and look at the camera box is there any red showing? the camera could be too close to another surface and its picking it up. it could also be your head set that is reflecting light back and confusing it or the hat you may wear, it could have a shiny surface, mine has been confused by sweat in the summer time and i'm in knife fight with a 109 and its a little stressful. hope this gives you something to work with -
check out this thread for info. you may find your answer http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=55681 there are some handy links in there too.

Anyone dismantled a Saitek X52 pro throttle?
ilikepie replied to MadTommy's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
have disassembled my x52 noob. it can be done but just be particular with it, the hardest thing was getting a couple of screws out of the throttle handle because of the angle. you need to go in the bottom and then look for the 4 screws that hold the handle to the base and undo that to make the job a bit easier. try not to let the mfd screen/glass come out. it should not need to. the handle part of the throttle is the "busiest" with all the cabling jammed in quite tight but it should be ok. it is fairly simple to understand once you see it and if you have the patience/time for the job its a piece o p1ss to do. i did it coz my rotaries went all twitchy/drifty and it was a freebie with no warranty so i ripped in to it and found some other interesting things in regards to build quality (nuff said). should be sweet az. good luck -
also check to see if there is a background light source that is wrecking the tracking of the reflector/clip and maybe adjust the the light filter threshold. does the Tir work correctly in other titles?
-
i'm the same, time poor. try a reinstall of the drivers, it may refresh the centering. i have found that the x52 can be a little pernickety, if i go to a lan i have to make sure that it goes back into the same usb slot or its not recognized. hope it helps
-
the stick auto centres, you need to disconnect it from the throttle and then reconnect. it "should" go back to centre. As mikoyan said.Or you could try moving the stick through its entire axis range as sometimes it "remembers" a point if it is held there too long and centres on that. if none of that has any effect then it could be a case of dust in the sensors and needs a deconstruct and clean good luck

say you had to send it back because it was faulty and the replacement that was sent was a "free" upgrade for having sent out faulty stock in the first place. you will have to get pedals as well though, if you do that......:smilewink:

Where to buy HOTAS Warthog in Australia?
ilikepie replied to deltatango's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
got some TM MFD's from gadgetbliss on ebay.au and they said they were trying to source them. coulda been blowin smoke up my arse though. might be worth following up. i would be keen to know if any of yall find a source over there, coz we aint got a sh!t show of getting it over here and i'm keen for 1. -
yes. it is worth it, the clip is helpful in "bright light" conditions when used with the light filter threshold slider. it takes a little while to find the best settings for yourself but its kool once you have it sussed and can track targets by looking at them. fun.
-
any Aussie geezers know who will be stocking this stick over there? it will give me a good excuse for a trip over the creek.

yes she is...pure "pron"

Project 10 - DCS: A-10C Warthog Promo!
ilikepie replied to Glowing_Amraam's topic in DCS: A-10C Warthog
soooo worth the wait.......superlative! -
you could spend the money before she does and then tell her to earn some more. or do what she does, "it was on sale, and there are no returns" or let them buy the 500 dollar boots etc, and just remind them of it when you get something, and say " honey, how are those hot looking boots that cost the same as a NASA space program?" at the close of play, everyone likes to spend cash on "guff" on themselves.

it could feel a bit "patch work quiltish" things all cobbled together, but it could satisfy people with A2A hankerings.

nice find.

patch 1.0.2 killed deplotment campaign
ilikepie replied to bigdog4215's topic in DCS: Ka-50 Black Shark
i'm guessing you mean a saved "campaign" is no longer playable? most likely due to the difference in compatibility between the 2 versions, like the training tracks. could try to redeploy, if that doesnt work you may have to uninstall the patch to restore it -
a pleasure to watch. thanks for the time spent on it.

i think you may be surprised by the uptake on this product. its not aimed at the "sometimes" player and there is enough seasoned simmers out there to give this a good set of legs. i terms of pricing, they have to aim high as they are going for happy customers, not subscribers, meaning a one off high cost rather than on going upgrade cycles which can be a PITA and more costly in the long run. and if it lasts 10 + years and is the only one you need then its value for money, not a piece of crap to be thrashed and trashed in 6 months. and if they are high, then skin me some,if thats what they produce it looks like the good Sh!t
