deleted, misread last post.

Surprised no one mentioned the accident that killed one of the first female Tomcat pilots. The 0.4 second delay it took for her to eject after the RIO was ejected was enough to kill her as the plane became inverted in that amount of time: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kara_Hultgreen After aborting the approach, Hultgreen selected full afterburner on the remaining engine, causing an even greater asymmetry. This, combined with a high angle of attack, caused an unrecoverable approach turn stall and rapid wing drop to the left. The radar intercept officer (RIO) in the rear seat, Lieutenant Matthew Klemish, initiated ejection for himself and Hultgreen as soon as it was apparent that the aircraft was becoming uncontrollable. First in the automated ejection sequence, the RIO survived. However, by the time Hultgreen's seat fired 0.4 seconds later, the plane had rolled past the horizontal and she was ejected downward into the water. She was killed instantly. The entire event unfolded in less than 20 seconds.

Yes, I understood that after it was pointed out. Maybe I read it too fast, but it didn't read like that to me. Maybe it was just wishful thinking since I was getting them all originally. Anyway, no big deal to me, just pointing out that he was not the only person to be under that belief.

Ya, that is worded terribly in the original post. I originally thought, as he did, that 'others' would be $20 each, until disputes and ultimately clarification was provided yesterday. Perhaps that can be clarified if it hasn't been already to reduce confusion.

Me too.:helpsmilie::megalol:

This is cool. I just wanted my alpha access to the 262 more than anything. Heck, I would have paid for it. But this will make things even better for me, and others I'm sure. :)

Where do you get that out of the announcement? "For example: each aircraft will retail at $49.99; however, you will receive the item instead at only $20.00. This is in addition to other items such as the Normandy map ($20 contribution and above) and other perks as the backing contribution level rises."

Offer a buy up for additional Alpha access? :) If the aircraft are going to be $20 for us at release charge $30 or whatever you deem fair for Alpha access and I'd throw more dollars at you. I'm only missing alpha on one and would love to get in on that as well. Others may feel the same. Don't know if it would be hard to orchestrate, but could raise some additional money from backers.

I guess I don't think this is too terrible, but then I was at $110 and looks like I will have Alpha access to everything but the 262 which I will have to pay $20 to get. I will say I will happily buy it when released and if there is a way to buy into the alpha, even if it's for more than $20 I'd likely pay for that too. I don't know if there are others that would do the same, but maybe something to consider to raise more funds from backers (and maybe others too?) if orchestrating it won't be a nightmare...

You could use fraps - downside is its not free. Regardless of which way you record you can use handbrake, which is free, to convert to mp4 which should drastically reduce the size.

Su-34. I mean the thing has 12 hardpoints and can carry over 26,000 lbs. of ordinance. The thing has a toilet and galley. They were like lets add everything AND the kitchen sink. And with everything you need to never come down it also looks decent.

Patience. It's close. Days to weeks, probably.

This Bis is from like '72 isn't it? Fits in.

Part of the disaster is that people were speculating on exactly what half the rewards entitled us to even when the kickstarter was running. There were unending requests for Ilya to clarify even then and he saw no need to do that. This is my selection. What this basically says to me is that I should get each aircraft as it becomes available, since I have no faith whatsoever in seeing anything in an Alpha or Beta state any more. I got a P-51D key already. I'm a little unclear as to whether I should get a second since I have DCS WWII: P-51D and DCS WORLD: P-51. Same for the FW.190. But I'd easily let go of debating seconds if I could just get my aircraft as they're released (or even sooner per the alpha access...). I just want to be able to fly the released aircraft without waiting until mid next year after it's all out. That's about as opposite of Alpha access as you could not hope for.

No one has said anything about developing one as far as I know, but I would love to see a late model like the P-38L more than almost any other WWII aircraft.

For me disabling HID was enough. But I am disabling one controller for one game so it is hardly authoritative. You'll probably want/have to test it for your case.

Yes, but if the controller isn't enabled when the game starts it ignores it. Remove 'start' from before the line to run the game and it will wait, unless its a steam url as above and steam is already running. You can then probably also remove the timeout line.

It doesn't change the fact that it did exist and was flown successfully in combat. People aren't especially flying around UH-1H's or P-51D's anymore either. Why does that preclude it from being in the game or suggest the modeling of that aircraft is somehow inaccurate? I can only guess that's the point you're trying to make anyway.

Is this inaccurate? It says it not only existed/exists but that it was also successfully deployed in combat. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sukhoi_Su-25#Su-25T edit: number3 beat me to it. What he said.

I think the Su-25 has an edge if you intend to use unguided weapons. Gun pods, rockets, dumb bombs, etc. It's faster and more maneuverable so using the T for this stuff is like taking a step back in performance for no reason. If you intend to use guided weapons or a mix though it will necessitate using the T's features. Also, bare in mind there are only something like 32 Ka-50's build with 5 variants if you include the two-seat Ka-50-2 which was probably a precursor to the Ka-52. Not many will be identical. That doesn't mean ED took a whole lot of artistic license - from what I understand it is a very well modeled representation of one of the variants. On the other hand the Su-25T had something like 11 built. 3 prototypes and 8 production...

Head tracking. you either put a clip on a ball cap or a pro clip on your headphones and it is able to sense head movement. It amplifies the motion of your head so Looking a bit to the ldft or right can have you look straight back in the pit and thus can take a little getting used to, but once you do you'll never want to go back. When programming your X-52 give thought to how the stick in the pit is layed out (or look at pictures of the thrustmaster warthog). You have TMS, DMS, Trim, countermeasures on the stick. You can pretty closely duplicate that using. the pinky switch as a modifier. You can similarly do the same with the throttle. It wont be perfect, but it will be close. Anyway, there are some good profiles in the user files section so look for one that mostly works for you and modify to taste.

because steam has to start up and log in if it hasnt been started already before the game will start. 30 seconds is overkill as the whole thing doesn't take 20 seconds, but the wiggle room is not hurting anything.

I created a batch file like this to disable the device, start my program, and then enable the device again. In the case of rocksmith as long as it's disabled when the game starts it doesn't detect the pedals and doesn't cause an issue. DCS seems pretty much the same way, though I'm not sure it's universal. devcon disable "HID\VID_06A3&PID_0764&REV_0201" start "c:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Steam.exe" steam://rungameid/221680 timeout /t 30 devcon enable "HID\VID_06A3&PID_0764&REV_0201" I then created a shortcut on the desktop and set it to run as administrator since it appears devcon needs administrative rights to go ahead and enable/disable devices. Thanks, this is great.

Snacko, haven't tried scripting it yet, but when disabling it manually doing the HID device is enough for my case (but disabling the USB instead would make the HID device just disappear, and also worked)... You may just have to play a bit to get the desired effect, but it couldn't hurt to just try the HID device for starters, I don't think...

Thanks. Rocksmith 2014 hates my Saitek pedals (they have the effect of hitting pressing down constantly( and I've been going in and disabling the HID device rather than unplug it for awhile now, but being able to click a bat file is even easier. Maybe I can go the extra mile and script , disable, launch, enable and just forget it all together. :thumbup:
