Picksplitter

new to me.... Hi there... I need some direction! For the first time since I started this sim, I have little red indicators and little green indicators flashing, flipping and spinning but none of the labels I'm used to... I have not knowingly asked for this! I understand what it's about, but never had or asked for it before.... What have I ga-finger-poked or nodded my head in agreement to? Any direction would be appreciated. Bmon

wow I'm stupid and here I thought I was going to see an all out, guns melting, inverted A10c run on Lake Washington in Medina, Washington.... silly me.

car seats... please go to my bio and look at the sim pit folder. At 400.00 cnd the seat it was kind of pricy but worth every cent... it's a joy to sit in and after hours of fun, no fatigue!

Hello... I had a simular problem with my Tacker... go to 'all programs, find your tracker folder, right click on the tracker icon and run as administrator... hope this helps... no troubles for me since I did that! Bmon

Hello there... finally back from 8 months of recovery from surgery.... but I had allot of fun healing. Please see my profile for the sim pit albumn... I have no idea how to post it properly... Latest evolution is the MFCD's and monitors encased. Bmon / Picksplitter

fullscreen woes hello folks... the Liliput monitors for my MFCD's are on their way. I've spent a couple of days learning and testing lua files for when they arrive. Just about have it figured out, with alot of help from previous posts in this forum and you tube videos.... but here's the grief.... When I uncheck full screen in options, the new window that opens is unmanageable! I can not enlarge it, navigate around it nor close it without going to 'system manager' and ending the process.... every time. Please note... the only way I can get back to full screen is to delete the game and all folders related to DCS and re-install... it be frustratin'! I've searched and read pages of problems related to multiple monitor woes but just can't find this duplicated. Any guidance to a post already addressing this or some help would be appreciated! Bmon

new test

thanks somehow the pinky got dropped from the modifier list.... re-instated and all's well! Thanks again

Howdy! Having some new grief with my saitek x52. Suddenly all functions programmed with 'pinky' switch won't work. In options / controller all 'pinky' commands are 'redded' out.... never seen this before and can't imagine what I've done to get there! system....Win 7 home premium / AMD Phennom II x 4 840T / NVIDIA Ge Force GTX560 / saitek x52 / saitek pro flight rudder pedals / cougar mfd's and Tracker IR 5 / dcs v1.1.1.1 Note on system.... all of the above work fine in the game except Saitek x52 'pinky' commands! Any help would be appreciated.

I did find something in a forum 'trac ir 5 for external views", a resonse by "Re-Ordain" Not sure if the posted link will work.... http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=75229 Scarred the dickin's out of me when I read it... way out of my sandbox and skill level. lots more to figure out with the tracir but getting there!

perhaps I broached a protocl I'm unaware of... if so, my appologies. Everythings working fine and having the time of my life with this. Bmon

One more question.... it's working very well inside the cockpit, but nothing outside the cockpit. Is this a limitation of the game or have I missed a button somewhere? I've read the instruction manual twice and either missed or mis-understood something. I found the dcs a10 profile and have tried all 3 settings, but that doesn't seem to do it. Seriusly wondering what it looks like to eject.... Any help's appreciated..... as has all the adivce put forward so far. Bmon

okay, it's @ 2 hours since my last post. "wow" doesn't cover it by half. Everythings working as advertised and the learning wall has become the learning curve. Bmon

well... it arrived @ 4 hours ago.... Dark Eagle... I couldn't agree more! But I am sticking with it.... Thanks to all for the advice about this units fragility.... no kidding! I have tie-wrapped the cords and unit to the headphones and it's 'gentle as she goes, skipper' Can't seem to get more than 20 - 25 degrees left and right... 10 - 15 degrees up and down. So it's off to read the manual! I figure I'm moving along as I started out looking aft.... nothing but the seat and scenery behind me!

thanks to all Thanks for all the good advice and encouragement. I'm sure it will come in handy during the first few hours. cichlidfan... a little shudder when I realized there'll be another cord to deal with! The old guy assumed it'd be wireless! 2 more sleeps and it's here!..... Bmon

thanks for the encouragment, gentlemen.... but if anyone can fubar this, it will be me!! bmon

howdy.... Last night I innocently wondered 'what is this trackIR 5 pro' thingy. Went to the net, saw some things, woke up this morning and ordered it. It's already in the mail..... One simple question... once I've figured out the programing and have it 'oriented' is there anything I specifically need to know to make it work with dcs a10c? In short... is it plug and play or am I in for a whole new world of unknown, self-inflicted pain? I just know there's someone out there who could point me to all the answers, but so far 'searching' hasn't helped! Bmon P.S. Still haven't figured out the bottom line signature thingy, so for now, this will have to do.... It has often been proven a fruitful and harmless idea to give the simple, playful bits of the mind something to do... so that they do not interfer with the proper, grown up bits that have an important job to do... scatter and god speed in the fur-ball....

thanks bullet that simple, eh? guess I should have said 'really' old guy.... bullet, thank you.... I'm off to destroy multiple billions of dollars in A10's, but I think it'll be fun... bmon out

just got this beautiful sim. downloaded and installed with a minimum of gnashing of teeth. I've downloaded the manual and scanned it briefly and also scanned the 'controller' option in "options'. Only ever flown 'falcon 4' before and loved it. Using a saitek x52 and for the first time it seems to recognise the basics of this sim. Okay... so I can load a training mission.... it boots up and asks me to 'press pause/break to start'. So far, nowhere can I find "pause/break"... I know at first I'm either going to 'flame out' or find the dirt, but how do I even get started.... Thanks Bmon
