Conure

Hi there, nice vids though some of the startup procedure was slightly off! If it was meant as a training aid then you'll want to revise it a bit. If it's just to demonstrate and for a bit of fun then all is good! Welcome btw :)

Welcome - Make TrackIR your top priority, it's incredible. I would recommend you seek out a virtual flying squadron as soon as you have the basics down. I mean, once you're capable of basic nav, weapons deployment etc. you'll learn more from an experienced squadron in a few hours than days with the manual, once youve got the basics down. Enjoy the sim!

tried it in explorer, you're right. How weird. It was a disgustingly obese woman. Really bad. I wasn't taking the "hot women" game as seriously as I should ;)

I can see it? Even whilst logged out! You probably don't want to see it anyway. Here is the link incase you do :) http://images.allmoviephoto.com/2007_Norbit/2007_norbit_006.jpg

I win.

I played and enjoyed the game for a long time using just a cyborg evo. I would avoid the game without a joystick.

Same, though my method is guaranteed to fix the issue!

Hi, Add a curve to your rudder via the axis control settings. Made a world of difference to my take off control. I would also set a bit of a curve across all axis for when you start air to air refueling. I suck at it, but I suck less now that I've added the curve.

Hi mate, process is as follows: 1: Hold down the stat button on the left MFCD - this will bring up a new screen which will let you select a new program to display 2: press load on the right hand side,I forget which OSB it is. 3: now press stat again - you will notice that stat now turns into load. 4: press the newly made load button, from there you can reload DSMS and any other systems you want to reload.

I know of the problem too - happens to me sometimes. Very annoying particularly when EGI stops aligning!

He won't be posting again for a while. He is writing his new engine! :lol:

That's true, I never considered the consistency! Good points. I can see how that would agg longevity.

I used to feel the same about wanting a dynamic campaign until I started playing with the 74th and saw some of their missions. Screw a random and patchy DC, this mission editor is so powerful you can create entire conflicts down to the tiniest details. If somebody has the motivation to create an epic story like conflict with hundreds of things going on it can all be done. Don't get me wrong, I'd like a DC, but the mission editor and the ability to craft truly personal and detailed missions is better in my opinion.

Oh I don't believe war will end any time soon - simply that with the right mentality that it could! It is certainly not beyond our genetic/cognitive capacity to live without war, so to speak. Shame, though...

Thanks for the response - I enjoyed reading it. I wrote a thesis on human development and war back in the university days, and to be sure it is by no means a one sided argument and there is no real consensus. I did read a somewhat persuasive argument which stipulated that our basest form is that of a new born baby. Babies very rarely show any forms of aggression but frequently affection. Further, all human babies require love and support (at the very least, feeding and a certain level of care) in order to survive their early years. As such compassion is integral to the survival of the organism. Then again, that goes against my own belief that there is no human nature. Also, compassion between mother and child does not necessarily demonstrate any kind of compassionate base between distant kin. Kinship and human relations are such a messy subject area, but it is my sincerest belief that the power to entirely cease war is in within our reach. I don't believe for a second that it is impossible as a result of some imagined biological determinism, so often used as a justification for war.

I'll be there as I plan to be doing it myself in future months :)

Could not disagree more. I'll never get my head around those that value economic gain above life. Such a view is a dark route toward Nazism and its kin. And whilst we're on the subject of Nazism, where was the economic opportunity for the Jews in their death camps? Or for the innocent Iraqi civilians killed over..What are we fighting for again? Economic gain for one perhaps, not for all. Moving on to your idea regarding the essence of war being part of mankind, that again is a fallacy. There is very little evidence to suggest that there is any intrinsic human nature. For example, our base "requirements" are food, sleep, shelter and reproduction all of which can be overruled by forces of will (albeit under duress) such as anorexia, celibacy etc etc. Fighting is often a result of a loss of control over a situation, which is why many (myself included a few years ago) would start fighting after a few drinks. It is that brilliant ability that we have to control our so called base instincts that have got us to where we are today. I also outright reject the premise that humans need war to function; many early societies were based upon peaceful sharing of resources. Look to our most advanced civilizations, the numerous institutions that work in harmony through cooperation between people and nations. Our court rooms prove that disputes can be solved using logic without the need for violence. If there was a homogeneous tendency toward war built into the genome then how do you explain away peaceful civilizations, charity workers and a plethora of other individuals that promote peaceful solutions to problems. It is not human nature that is the accused here, but idiots that are quick to call up the banner for war. It is a shame that these idiots keep finding themselves in power...Human stupidity seems to be the enduring theme, not human need for war.

Hi there, Congrats on buying the sim. If you want to increase your enjoyment ten fold then invest in TrackIR - Either 4 or 5 is fine. People are going to start thinking I work for natural point. I do stand by the fact, however, that without TrackIR you will never be truly proficient at the sim.

What gifts have the gods bestowed upon the OP MTF?!?!? His question was answered in the manual and you didn't tell tell him to RTFM?!?! Are you okay?! :D

I hope you're joking.

could you link one of the vids??

I hope we (they) grow out of war one day. Perhaps it is arrogance on my part but I'll never understand the logic that leads up to conflict. It seems to be only an utter fool is willing to spill blood over ideology; particularly of a religious nature. Is is exasperating to see how stupid many people are. Both in day to day life and in world politics...These people that will so happily lead nations to war..What goes through their heads? Still, people willingly choose to chain smoke near children, eat junk food until they weigh 18 stone and drink themselves into an early grave. Humanity is destined to obliterate itself...How sad.

Ah I see, thank you. :)

I thought it wasn't in feet, but was a time internal where 250 = .25 of a second. Is that incorrect?

So, who's gonna buy Combat-Helo? Hey all, Been following this with interest and it's looking better and better each time I go on the website. http://www.combat-helo.co.uk/news.html Looks very, very good. Can't wait to see the end results. What are your thoughts on the sim? Would be great to have a competitor for the Black Shark - Looks like they're going all out on the FM and avionics too!
