you've got a point, never needed to trim asymmetrically loaded planes until now :) anway what rudders would you suggest if I went along with the warthog? saitek pro rudder or combat rudder or.. else? probably the combat rudders would be a hair too expensive since the saitek pro rudder is half the price. L

g940 gone. thanks

g940 and thrustmaster mfds. I'm quite happy with the g940 but I've got this crush for the warthog.. but I've recently upgraded my PC so I'm not sure I can afford the new warthog/rudder pedals combo purchase over the fine running g940. L

thanks for the reply, hmmm I'm not convinced by it. In the worst case scenario I'll just map two buttons up and down, I've never found much use for the lateral roll.

Hello, I found a trim button hold assignment and was wondering if it would be a good candidate as a replacement for the 4ways trim switch. but how does the trim yoke button work? I would assume I would have to press and hold while correcting to keep level flight and slowly center the yoke and then release the button. Is this right? Luca

Me too, I'm looking for the closest 940 profile to the warthog hotas. Of course the warthog hotas comes with more switches, especially on the joystick but I believe we could take a little compromise and loose the trim switch. On the other hand the g940 has an excess of sliders which would be great to put to use, only if the sim allowed trim axis.

any news on this? I've been looking for these covers for a long time and now that I found the website it's on hold...:doh: thanks Luca

Thanks, I'm thinking of buying a powerful shoebox computer (mini-itx), yet i7 2600, late ati card and 8Gb.. however it seems custom shops are still busy with their christmas backlog orders so no chances of getting mine anytime soon..

Hello, After years of simming on a laptop I feel the time is ripe to switch back to desktop simming (albeit in the small form of a shoebox computer for space reasons). I'm customizing specs and spent a lot of time surfing to come up with the best GPU in terms of speed and price. I'd rather try an ATI card as drivers are much better on windows7 and will allow to run other old sims such as freefalcon (whereas new nvidia cards won't). So I'm very much more biased torwards ati. Now, I could choose between the 58* 59* 68* and 69* cards and laid my eyes on the ATI 6950 2Gb. I also understand the price difference between the 6870 and 6950 is not much. Regarding CPU for almost the same price I can get the i7 2600, is it better than the i5 2500 for a10? I havent' purchased a10 just yet so it is really difficult to build a new gaming rig blindfolded. Any recommendations? p.p.s. the system I'm planning to build is a micro itx asus board i7 2600 8Gb dual 1300mhz velociraptor 10k 600gb (hopefully fast enough with my 120Gb plus of photoreal sceneries) ati 6950 onboard soundcard (yeah I know..) Thanks Luca

Same post as on freefalcon,hoping somebody could shed some light on this: still getting CTD, freezes and other bad illnesses with 260.63 beta on windows7 64bit with my geforce M9650GT I've renamed the .exe to FalconAF.exe (it would otherwise cause sudden CTD with 260.63). Since then I'm getting stable flight for perhaps 2 mins after which either the screen freezes with a dark green color or I get a proper crash to desktop. I'm trying various nvidia panel settings but they don't seem to do much difference. In FF 5.52 the graphics settings (advanced) are ticked as follows X X 0 X 0 X Here's the crash report. Any suggestion tip or anything else most welcome at this point! I wouldn't want to revert back to XP now, please Luca FalconAF.exe caused a EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION in module FalconAF.exe at 0023:0056DD84, SimRadarRangeStepUp()+132 byte(s) Exception handler called in SimLoop Thread.

Hello, I've got the new ka50/fc2 tactical map for sale, unopened, brand new. I bought it together with the manual from "The fighter collection" but realized it's huge and can't really make any use of it in my flat. £10 + p&p I'll post it first class within 24h! please mail me to luca.za@gmail.com if interested!

I've got the tactical map for sale if anybody is interested: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=955055#post955055

Thanks! I wonder why they did not set them all to ramp start :) anyway I've opened changed and saved all of the campaign .mis files. Cheers L

that makes sense, I'll check it out once I get back home, thanks L

Hello, I noticed in FC2 that some campaigns (F15, su27) start from ramp meanwhile others (mig29 in the hump, A10) start from the runway. I normally prefer starting from ramp for a more realistic experience and was wondering is there is a downloadable pack of campaign missions with fixed ramp start position, alternatively on how to fix this myself. I've for instanced opened a campaing mission in the mission editor and switched from runway start to ramp start but, while I was able to move the wingman to the apron, the player aircraft would snap back to the runway. Any suggestion welcome THanks Luca

if I remove the graphics.cfg and graphics_bs.cfg from the directory, FC2 starts anyway. The question is are these two files used at all? or should I apply the tweaks to a different file in FC2 (I heard of a server_graphics.lua in the BS threads). Could you please elaborate on this. Thanks a lot for your time Luca

option.lua doesn't contain all the parameters graphic.cfg contain. I've heard BS has a server_graphics.lua file that might replace the graphic.cfg file, but, as I'm a FC2 newbye I wanted to make sure I edited the right files before breaking anything. Basically I just wanted to apply the performance tweaks found here http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=865286&postcount=86 to FC2. Any help much appreciated :) Thanks a lot Luca

Hello, I've recently started using FC2 and was wondering where should I apply the A.S. graphic tweaks to. Should I apply those tweaks to a new files since the release of FC2? ..it seems both the graphics.cfg and graphics_bs.cfg files in D:\Eagle Dynamics\LockOn Flaming Cliffs 2\Config are not really used anymore. I tried removing them to see if there were queried by the options.lua file and they aren't, or at least fc2 doesn't care about them. Looking forward to hearing from you and thank you for this amazing tweak. p.s. Just a stupid quetion would the distance affect the drawing of enemy tanks and enemy objectives? I'm planning on flying Air to ground missions. Regards L
