What does this do?

Lol... I was just getting back on here to say the same thing about china fwd long. Beat me to it

Thanks for the tips. I knew there had to be an easy way to pass target. It was the CH AFT LONG that I wasn't getting. I guess I'm going to have to look for a good used 1080p TV to replace my monitor if I want to see those tanks. I sure hope ED addresses the non-IR IR pod :(

I've been playing for 3 weeks now and finally have the systems down enough to truly enjoy the sim, but I'm having a heck of a time spotting tanks/SAMs/AAA with the Mav seeker head (and the IR pod for that matter). Seems by the time I spot one I'm right on top of them and too late to get a lock. Also, based on actual footage I've seen on youtube, the IR pod in the game doesn't seem to be IR much at all. All I see is black and white TV view, heat signatures don't seem to register at all with the IR pod, which should make tanks and such much easier to spot. Same for the AGM-65D. Is IR not modeled properly or am i missing something? Another quick question while I'm thinking of it. Is it possible to pass a target designated by the IR pod direct to the Mav seeker?

Awesome. I think I'll buy. The TV has a computer (VGA) input, but my video card has HDMI out as well. Has anyone had a better experience with either one over the other?

First post here. First of all, until 3 weeks ago, I hadn't played a mil-sim since Janes F/A-18 and I just ran across reviews for this by chance and was very impressed, so I bought it. I spent a week trying to master the controls with my trusty old CH Fighterstick and found the manual impossible to follow due to the sparseness of any reference to keyboard shortcut, so I ponied up and bought an x52 Pro and after spending a week with that, I can now do about anything I want :joystick: For anyone struggling to play with a basic stick and on the fence about buying a good HOTAS, I say quit wasting time and walk.... no RUN out and get one! Worth every penny. Now for my TrackIR to arrive... Anyway, the point of this post is that my son offered to sell me his 32" Vizio LCD for $125, which is 1080p, and I was wondering if anyone else was flying on an HDTV and if so, does the cockpit scale properly in 1080p? I'm concerned that everything might be stretched horizontally and all my nice round gauges will end up as ovals. He lives 90 miles away, so I can't just have him come over real quick to check it out or I would.
