This just started happening to me last night. Have the latest and greatest version of open beta. For a while my buddy would have to take down and put up his server a couple times for me to see it, but I’ve always had a long list off servers. Yesterday I had a fraction of servers, and couldn’t see his at all. Went into a hoggit server for a few minutes, backed out. Went to go back in and could no longer see the hhogggit servers anymore. Refreshed many many times, restarted the router many times, no dice. Tried it this morning. List was a little longer and could see 2 of 3 hoggit servers. I don’t know why this would just start happening now. Haven’t changed any router settings or updated firmware recently. Any ideas? Edit: can’t connect to my buddies server via ip either.

It’s frustrating because a dude I fly with has the original rift with sensors. It never loses track of the controllers because of the way it does it’s sensors. THe index shouldn't have this issue either.

:joystick: So even when you are checking your 6 for a prolonged amount of time, say trying to shake someone off, if the controllers are on a pillow on your lap or on the table next to your controllers you don’t have virtual hands slapping you in the face?

Hello, Wondering how other people are handling the pilot hands with the Rift S. I usually put the controllers in my lap so that I can easily find them when I need to push buttons/flick switches etc. However, that introduces a problem for me. When I check 6, or otherwise turn my head away from the controllers, the Rift loses them, and plasters them randomly in my current field of view. It's like trying to dogfight while being slapped in the face with a glove. It limits my view greatly. The only way to solve this is to look down at the controllers until they are "seen" again. Does anyone else have this issue? Has anyone come up with a way to solve it? I would think that if you were able to set a number of seconds after the rift loses sight of the controllers before it starts guessing where they are would work. Is there such an option?

So it seems like when using a target profile with BS2 pushing stick buttons and toggling switches doesn't always register in the game. I notice it a lot playing online, and a bit less offline. For example, my apu switch on the warthog toggles master arm in the game. If I switch it up and down 3 times it will register around twice. The red pinky button on the throttle is auto hover. Same thing. Often have to push it multiple times to turn it on or off. Doesn't happen in BS1 and doesn't happen in A-10. I don't think I'm the only one this is happening to But haven't seen a dedicated thread on the matter.

Method one is how I thought I was able to do it last night as well, but I couldn't recreate it. I was probablybutton mashing and got lucky. It just seems like there should be a way to slew the tgd quickly from out in front of you 20 miles to off to your 5 20 miles when you get lit up by radar

My buddy and I have been having a frustrating time playing the on station mp mission. Mainly because we can't find sam sites using the tgp, but my question is regarding the TAD, and I could not find the answers in the manual. 1). Is ther a way to quickly move the TGP from one side of the plane to the other using the tad cursor? For example, can you move the tad cursor to the other side of the plane, make a random spot on the map the spi, and then move the tgp to the spi? I was somehow able to do this once but have not been a le to recreate it. I put the tad cursor in the general area of where I thought a sam site was, made it my spi (my wedding cake moved over to my tad cursor) and then broadcasted it to my buddy... 2). What do the green "x's" on the tad mean? They weren't mentioned in the manual and were not shown in the labeled illustrations. Thanks DM

First off, thanks to all the helpful folks posting in this forum. I was able to use them to get my ABRIS and skval on a second monitor. A shame about the whole NVG thing, what a bummer. Anywho, one thing that I'm still not clear on is how folks are navigating through the online menus with this setup. I assume that if your two monitors are of equal size/ resolution that it isn't an issue. However, I have my main monitor at 1920X1200 and the second at 1024X768. I was unable to see the join button in multiplay until moving the monitor down in windows 7, in relation to the main monitor, as well as adjusting the positions of the ABRIS and skval. Now I can get in, but reading the briefings are problematic, since most of it is up in the "cut off zone." Is there a way around this? Perhaps something I missed? Secondly, am I correct in saying that the AVI portion of the options.lua is for the positioning of things such as the pause menu and the radio menu and radio captions? With my current set up I can no longer read the radio captions, as half of it goes into the cut off zone. Haven't tried the radio menus as I mostly fly online with a friend and don't communicate with the tower or ground crew when taking off. Apologize ahead of time if these questions warrant a "RTFM" type response. I've been reading about 10 threads on a handful of different forums and they all seem to blend into eachother. Quite confusing.

Back about 12 years ago I built a pit using an "Epic Card," which was a card that actually went into the computer with a programming language to get the switches to do what you wanted. I recall being able to do upwards of 100 switches, more if you got an expansion module. That kind of thing still out there these days?
