Sounds good, but as Beta 3 is currently modeled, the tank's mg would tear you up pretty good before you could pull away. I open up on an MTB (from behind, ideally) from 1 nm and push the attack UNTIL i'm at .5 nm at which time I'll do a hard out of plane turn away from target. It'll be nice when the tanks are correctly modeled to take damage from a greater stand-off distance as they would irl.

I've done this type of post elsewhere, but here's a reference of about what you'd see from 1 nautical mile above. I know visual acuity varies from person to person, but in my experience this seems like a pretty accurate depiction. Do you really think you could see an infantryman from this slant range? I'd say you'd have your hands full finding a tank from this distance let alone a single manpad toting individual.

Frederf: Thanks, it's sorted. Silly me had for some reason unchecked the Z axis in the trackir calibration screen.

I assigned the Z axis on my TrackIr 5 to the in game zoom axis under controls and it doesn't seem to do anything. It works fine in the Trackir software, as do all the others axes. Any ideas?

Would be nice to see the FreeBirds re-emerge for A10C. Vulture? Mitch?

Good stuff, Chelco. Thanks.

Nice finds, Openfalcon. Thanks.

Thanks.

Pegaso: First, your English is fine. Perfectly understandable. Second, and perhaps more importantly, your attitude is excellent. You're curious and excited about this sim (as am I), and you're always respectful of other posters. A fine addition to the community in my opinion. Keep asking away, as I learn quite a bit from the answers your questions provoke.

Thanks for your responses as disappointing as they turned out to be. It's pretty (un)immersive to see an orange cross floating out over the terrain or in front of the tgp scope. Here's hoping someone takes heed.

Hi All: I'm not sure if this is an issue or not, and it could very well be attributable to my specific setup. When I first get into the 3d world i can see a normal white mouse pointer icon in the center of the cockpit. If i move the mouse around a bit it will turn either green or an orangey color depending on what it's hovering over. The problem is that this pointer stays visible even when I'm not touching the mouse. As a long time Falcon 4 enthusiast, I'm used to the pointer icon disappearing a second or two after I've moved the mouse. I'm currently on a Samsung laptop, but using an external 24" ASUS monitor and external logitech mouse. Also, I use a Saitek X52 pro and a Trackir 5. I'd appreciate if anyone could point me in the right direction to resolving this issue as it's rather annoying having to keep moving the pointer icon out of the way to see what I'm doing. Thanks.
