...in that I dreamed there would be a new helicopter-sim someday. But, alas, it was only a dream.

Well - only hot air, I guess ... :(

Call me stupid, but what trackIR module do you mean? FS9, LOMAC and a lot of other games work without this, so I realy have no idea what module is missing. I did. I copied the aircraftfolder into FSX > Simobjects > Airplanes folder. In this case I am not stupid :) But the beaver is invisible. I doubt that copying the sound and effects folder will solve the problem, and I don't want to mess up the newer version with older beta files. Well, for me the graphic is the most important part in a simulation. Of course the FM is important too, but when I fly a virtual airplane I want to look outside the windows and forget the reality here in front of my screen :) Demo 2 now has *very* nice water. The waves are looking incredible realistic. The water is mirroring everything, clouds, islands, buildings, trees, even a very low flying aircraft. The picture in the water will be twisted by the waves...but the shadow won't (thats the only odd and a bit disturbing :)) Even the swimming pool on the luxury-liner is reflecting the heaven. In demo 1 the menu-point "plane is casting shadows on itselfes" made the hole plane illuminated by the flashlights in a very strange and unnatural way -> fixed - looks good and realistic now. The windows of the airplanes now appear like real glas. Very realistic reflections and colors. From inside the cockpits you also see reflections of the internals. Less problems with the "level of detail update". Demo 1 tended to forgot to update e.g. the gound details and you where flying across *very* lowres landscapes. Can't explain it better, sorry. Just a few facts I can recall in the moment. In total everything is looking "more finished" ... can't explain it better, its more a "feeling" but now I realy like the graphics...

Nice, this new demoversion is sooooo much better than the first one, and now I am realy looking forward for the sales version - the first was real "anti-advertisement". But 2 questions: 1. TrackIR is not working, is the trackIR-Alpha only for the FSX test-version, or can I also use it with the demo? If yes, how? 2. I copied the DeHavilland from demo-1 to demo-2, but the plane is not visible there. Any suggestions?

I even think that some of the flight scenes are computer graphics - especially this one (seen twice) where the eagle, seen from the "F16" pit, is rolling to the left. :huh:

[/url] Because it is open-source there is no "dedicated main site" - but some very good ones... e.g. Main Page - EECHCentral Frugal's World of Simulations - EECH Gotcha's EECH goodies

Razorworks isn't supporting EECH anymore, for several years already. But the code is open-source now. The rights still belong to them, but the community can develop and publish addons and improvements - and they do a good job :)

For 6DOF with trackIR 3 I need to buy additional items like the reflector thingie and - to be stylish :cool: - the cap. Is all that already included with trackIR 4 ?

This might be a funny thing the first hours we try out the shark, but after a while, especially when in battle, you wil simply oversee the animation, in some cases it even might be disturbing because of blocking the sight on important gauges. But the mean thing: It will lower the all-over-system performance and probably decrease the fps. I'd rather see a good framerate than a pair of hands, and believe me - especially in a helicopter you will be very thankfull for every additional frame per second. I flew EEAH and EECH since it came out and I still do. I know the animations in the EECH cockpits well and I like it - but not at the cost of systemperformance please.

Do players steer tanks or trucks? Do they command ships and AA-installatons these days in gaming...? Without challenges, e.g. an interesting campaign, even multiplay is boring.

Could it be her bank account maybe? :) Well I think the most remakable thing with this photo is that there is a true evidence now, that PH is able to use a tool, something scientists denied for a long time.

I get other glitches with the FPS-Tweak. Roads and railways are vanishing in a strange manner. Not all of them and not neccessary in the distance. Sometimes they disappear directly below my plane while in the far distance they are still visible. I am not able to detect a pattern, they come an go as they want. Not good for A-10 useres like me - we need this landmarks :) P.S.: Trees are visible...

Looks like. His last sentence is that means that after the JET-POWER exhibition in Bad Neuenahr (Sep. 16-18 2005) ends he will continue with the final assembly. I guess it takes a bit time to do this, shoot the photos and put them on the website...

Yes - deleting the registry entry made it. I even discovered a "Naturalpoint" folder in the registry. I assume this messed the the cockpit zoom up - maybe. Anyway - all entrys incl. naturalpoint folder are gone. I can use the keyboard again and I have no zoom issues anymore. Thank you all for your "brainworks" :)

Just reinstalled it - no change, still no keys after loadig a mission :(

Senseless, because everytime I start LO this happens (since I "fixed" the zoom issue by installing NewView).

Some days ago I got my new X52 and everything worked fine. Then I installed "Cam2Pan" and from this moment on I got problems with the "in cockpit zoom". The sight always jumped back to "zero position". As already mentioned in this forum I found a little additional progamm called newView that solved the problem. JaBoG32_Prinzartus also was able to fix his zoom problems with this workaround, so it seems to work for different configurations. But now, after installing "newView" I got another glitch: After "Lock-on" has finished loading a mission and the 3d-sight opens (where you have to press "S" to start the simulation), "Lock-on" refuses to accept any keypressings while all achses-inputs from the HOTAS are working fine. I have to use ALT-Tab to switch to the desktop and back once to reactivate the keys. But "Lock-on" doesn't like ALT-Tab and this brings up graphic problems. Currently I avoid this by flying in windowed mode, but I assume this lowers the frame-rate. Anybody got an idea? I realy would appreciate this!

Yes, I got the same effect some days ago. On the Cam2Pan website I found a link to a program called "newView". I installed it and now the zoom ist working again. I posted this in the JaBoG32 forum and JaBoG32_Prinzartus also found his problems solved after installing "newView". Look here http://www.aviacomp.com/game/newView.htm Hope this helps.
