Hey guys. My original post from yesterday didn't really show my best side, but it generated some discussion so thanks for that. Cobra, thanks for taking the time to respond. The site looks great and it sure got me pumped for the Tomcat! A news section there will be welcome. But I urge you a final time to also post your updates on this forum to a closed thread. The lavish and thrilling update that started this thread is now appended with 37 pages of... mostly positive and interesting discussion. But this thread is "LNS Q1 Update" not "BVR Theory and Tactics." This is the kind of interesting stuff you find on the ED forums but it should not be appended to your company's official news in my opinion! I really do enjoy seeing the updates, screenshots etc, and it's fascinating to watch how a project like this comes together. Your generosity in this regard is second to none in the ED community. A thread with nothing in it but LNS updates makes an interesting resource on the history of the project, and presents your upcoming product in a positive light for someone seeing it for the first time. The fascinating discussions will still happen -- in the discussion thread. Guys I honestly just can't imagine why ALL the 3rd Parties would not INSIST on structuring their forums this way?! Anyway I won't belabor the point any further. The last thing I'll say on the topic is to Cobra and the LNS crew (and to all the dev's by the way.) The next time you find the time to sit down and post a great big update, may I personally urge you to close it up and spend that time with your family and friends instead. When the module arrives, we'll be ready! Thanks for reading, y'all.

I think this thread makes a good a case as can be made for no updates at all. I enjoy the progress reports too, but seeing the thread bumped several times daily just so some child can say "Wahh, it's still late, you owe me something..." It's pathetic. I am not the first to suggest this: Could the developers open a NEWS-ONLY THREAD? The thread is only bumped when actual updates occur! The DISCUSSION thread is open for discourse and chit-chat. And yes, infantile complaining, but at least separated from the dev's official news thread. Obviously I'm describing what ED already does, so perhaps LNS could do the same. Thanks to all at LNS who are working so hard to bring some amazing products to market. I just hope you guys don't spend a single second reading the drivel in this thread or ones like it. Cobra you are WAY more patient then I would be! To the majority of posters in this forum who keep it positive and informative, thanks and keep it up.

I had the same problem with the original release of BS2 and I got the following advice from one Patriot*CFS*: You need to edit this file with Notepad++... C:\ProgramFiles\EgaleDynamics\DCSBlackshark\Scripts\Aircrafts\_Common\Cockpit\clickable_common.lua Scroll down to the bottom and change use_click_and_pan_mode = false to use_click_and_pan_mode = true and save! It worked for me, I hope that helps. I don't know how to work the forum that well but the original thread is: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=81136 dillio

You will have a new shortcut to run BS2 outside of Steam. BS1 will be available through Steam as before.

Got it! Thanks a million Patriot.

I may be the last one who lacks a TrackIR and controls the view this way, but I'm used to using LALT-C to get a "mouse look" with a cursor to control the view AND click around the cockpit. In BS2 it seems it only toggles between (cursor for clicking) and (mouselook with NO CURSOR.) I've only downloaded and started experimenting tonight so excuse me if I'm missing something. Any advice? Thanks in advance! Dillio
