  1. Ok I figured it out. Thanks to whomever posted the command line update
  2. Umm. How do I tell which version. I am just using the updater and it says I have the most current version
  3. Hmm I already have 12 dollars of bonus but... .. none of it can be used to purchase the Spitfire.
  4. While trying to beat my high altitude best of 37502 feet, I noticed something even more interesting than the sudden puff of contrails. I had the plane nicely trimmed for about a 1k/minute climb and was intently watching the gauges as we all know we must to avoid sudden engine failure. I think I was at about 28 thousand, and everything look SO good that I decided to look around a bit and enjoy the view. There I noticed, in the deepening azure blue of higher altitude, that I could see... stars. Not just one either, but entire constellations. Now, I am not a real pilot, despite wanting to be one since I was six. Is this common? Programming error? Hallucination? I swear the O2 was on.
  5. I got a nice email newsletter thingy today from Eagle D talking about the latest version of the P-51 sim. Now, it looks like the one I got a few days ago is still the latest based on the .EXE. The current .EXE I have ends in 63205. Is this the latest? Anyone?
  6. I have been around for a bit and really love this sim. I have been a sim jockey for years and I love the challenge. My first sim memory dates back to MS Flight Simulator in the mid-80s. I started enjoying DCS A10 awhile back and began with no pedals, and an old Saitek throttle/joystick combo (I think it was the X.46?) That stick set died on me and I moved on to the X51 and had a blast with that, but always drooled over the TM Warthog and pined longingly for the TrackIR. Well, I finally decided that life is short and I likely will never get the wife of 30 years to let me get a pilot's license, so I plunked down the cash on for the Warthog, the TrackIR and even got a decent set of Saitek pedals. I almost paid Kinkos a fortune to print out the manual, but my conscience caught up with me, so I spent a lot of time practicing with the training missions and printing out useful cheat sheets here and there to make using the controls more second nature. I am looking for a friendly bunch of simmers to share the air with and get better. I saw the post with squadrons listed, but a few I tried are either no longer, or not taking members, so I thought I would fire a shot across the bow, so to speak, here. Moderators, if this post violates any rules, please remove it and do not punish me too harshly. Just thought I would test the waters and see which groups are active.
  7. Seral #: 07360 Location: Earth (well, ok, USA, Virginia)
  8. I had to make sure Aero was not disabled, or my mouse would not work properly AND the desktop Widgets would "bleed" through.
  9. I have one LED out on one of the bottom toggles. Thrustmaster said they would fix it provided I sent the unit in and at my initial expense. It has to go back to Canada too... gah. I think I will just live with the burned out/inop LED... but I am disappointed that such an expensive item left the factory with a likely defect, and that getting it fixed will require many hoops to jump through.
  10. What he said.... come on Trev.. play nicely please.
  11. They sure have saved my bacon a few times when I unwisely came in a bit too hot :)
