I grant you... good points, I don't buy all of it... but I am not sure I can argue intelligently against them either... but good points none the less, and certainly answers some of my curiosities. :smilewink: Perhaps from a programers point of view... the Falcon DC was shoddy.... but, from MY point of view, I thought it was quite good... a little difficult to work with.... but, still I think it was quite good. I too hated to see Microprose go away... and I certainly am not asking or want ANY company to "commit fiscal suicide"... I don't think anybody in these forums do. As for Duke nuke em'... that's out of my league... I don't typically do FPS games, and the only ones I have done were of the WWII genre.... Anyway... I have stated my thoughts and opinions on the subject, and not looking to create or start arguments, so I will shut up now. :lol::pilotfly:

But, I have to question that if Falcon was such a failure... why is it STILL played by a STILL pretty sizable community?? Now, I know jack, slash, nothing about programming... but I DO know I liked the dynamic campaign in Falcon better than I do in this sim. I NEVER said... and I don't believe Heller did either... that this sims campaign is BAD... just lacking, and believe it can be better!!! The question I have wondered was WHY nobody has improved on Falcon's dynamic campaign!!! And YES it WAS well ahead of it's time... I have yet to personally see one that has been done better... IN MY OPINION... which is just that... MY Opinion!! I personally DO NOT like scripted campaigns!! Now, perhaps I have misunderstood the tone of your post GG... and it is very easy to do when just in text... and if I have, my apologies... and if I haven't, there is no need for anybody to get to a boiling temp. :thumbup:

I got to agree with Heller... It IS amazing how far ahead of it's time the Falcon series Campaign Generator was. It truly is a shame that NOBODY has equaled it to this day, and it campaign Generator of that type would certainly be an asset to THIS. In MY view, it is the ONLY thing that holds this sim back!!

Got it... done it... worked like a charm!!! :pilotfly: Thanks!!!

Ok... I thought since I had dl'd the sim after the latest patch it was already in it... will give it shot later today!! Thanks

Very Cool... I was at RAF Lakenheath for 2 years back in the 80's. :thumbup: (Nothing like hijacking a thread huh... :music_whistling:)

Any new word on this issue??

I got F-111's, F-4 Wild Weasel's (These two rather tell my age:lol:), and F-16's covered... :thumbup:

Rgr... rgr.... :pilotfly:

:megalol: Not in the Phantom!!! :pilotfly:

You are indeed correct ... I am stuck at the part where the instructor requests that the SPI is set by means of the HUD TDC. The HUD IS set as the SOI and verified as such with the asterisk, as per the previous step in the instruction... I am able to slew the TDC on the HUD... though I am not sure how to... "release the slew". I don't get the failed designation "X" because I am not able to designate a point to begin with. "Main reason for a failed designation is that the location you are attempting to designate is more that 13nm away from your Aircraft." I kind of thinking that this might be my problem... I may be trying to designate a point too far away. I will retry this tutorial probably Friday (my next day off). Thanks Viper!!!

Ok... Well I am using a TM Cougar HOTAS... I am doing the navigation training, and I can't get the Lt. Ctrl + rt. up arrow OR the TMS switch to function... and I have tried holding them anywhere from 2 to 10 seconds.... no joy... kind of hard to move on when you can do as the instructor asks!!! Any definitive answers on what the deal is, or what I am doing wrong... or possibly a fix/ work around for the COUGAR is??? This seems to be a problem with a lot of folks!!

In this particular instance I did not believe a system description was necessary, as I am not having a performance issue.... and since the original post stated the issue was with the TM COUGAR throttle... I took it as a given that is what the thread is about... But, Yes... I too am using the TM COUGAR HOTAS setup... However... if system specs are essential... I am using an intel I7 960, Vista 64bit, with 16MB Corsair DDR3 RAM, and a GTS250 XLR8 1MB vid card Later...

I am having the same issue... except that doing the keyboard works fine for the starting procedure... after the engines are started my throttle works fine... except when pulled to cut off... the engines don't cut off. I have calibrated the throttle with the CCP... but no joy in movement until the engines are started by way of the keyboard throttle idle set.

My bad... I knew there was something I wasn't seeing and setting correctly. I didn't set the aspect ratio!!! DOH!!! NOW it looks like it should!! Thanks!!

Nobody??? No ideas???

I'm sure this has something to do with my settings somewhere... just don't know what settings to use or where to set them.... I have an HP 23" LCD 16:9 wide screen monitor that can do resolutions up to 1920x1080.... my video card is an nVidia GTS250 XLR8 1MB... My problem is when in a mission only about 2/3 of the width of my monitor is used, and the sides of the cockpit are chopped off... The title screen fills up the entire screen!! :huh: So I figure I don't have something configured correctly. In game options I have tried various resolutions, without any change (width wise on the monitor)... the only thing that changed was the obvious clarity of detail. Any ideas??? Thanks

Ok... is anybody here REAL good with working with the TM Cougars CCP and Foxxy??? I think I screwed something up when install these programs... Now the CCP DOES see mt Stick and throttle... but unfortunately, I installed foxxy into the same directory as the CCP. I unistalled Foxxy and tried to reinstall it to it's own directory.... but unfortunately, it installed itself to the same directory it was in before.... Unfortunately, I haven't had tem on my system for 3 years, so I am VERY rusty on getting things setup correctly for the system... I miss frugal's site!!!

Thanks.... just wanted to make certain... ;-)

I just downloaded A-10 Warthog... and my question is about the patches... Do the patches have to be done in order, or does the latest one incorporate all the previous??
