So why would you want to play with hamachii? Hamachii requires you to have an internet connection and if you do, you're better off just just create a normal server and set a password.

Bump! It would make life so much easier if you could adjust controls in MP. There's a tonne of aircraft to fly on some missions and you don't fly them all regularly, u usually have a couple of favorites. But then you want a taste of something you haven't flown in a while, and you would want to review or update your controls... Exit MP and change and then reconnect...geez. No individual pausing please. Just do it on the ground or put the AC on level flight AP and then edit controls as you wish.

This right here people! Hat off for you sir!:thumbup:

How does the game look in 1080p on a 1440p native screen? There usually is some scaling which makes the image blurrier than a native 1080p... I supporse different screens handles it differently... Any info on that?

Hi all, Wondering if anyone else here has an nVidia GTX 580 and a 27" 2560x1440 (QHD) screen and what FPS they are getting out of it in DCS. I'm wallowing about whether I should go for a 27" 1080p (full-HD) screen or a 27" 1440p (QHD) screen. I'm know picture quality should be much much better with QHD and spotting things should be much easier, but I don't want a slideshow either... Advice? /C

Copy that shagrat. Thanks for clarifying! However, when you say they "return on station" if enemy fighters bug out, do you mean they RTB or do you mean they usually have a "circle here" waypoint (loiter?) they return to if there's nothing to engage, until their fuel runs out and then RTB?

To continue this discussion, what happens once say a CAP flight "run out of targets" and RTB's, can you call them in again if there's new contacts? I've notices that once you've called one in, it disappears from the F10 menu, but later in the mission it might be available again. Or maybe it was a different flight, dunno... There is no other way to give them direct "fly-to-this-position" commands right?

Thank you! I usually go into the mission planner to adjust my loadout and check out routes and such. I just never really thought about looking at my friendly flights waypoints. Thanks!:doh:

TrackIR is a MUCH better solution. More stable, less demanding on your system and more precision. At least this is true if you are NOT using some home made IR device with the FreeTrack protocol in FaceTrackNoIr. I started out with FaceTrackNoIR also, with a regular webcam to track my face, and dude, there difference is huge going to TrackIR. No lag / sluggishness and lots of precision.

No. In the A-10C, the canopy can be closed and all systems and engines up and running. Rearming will work. It's different with other aircraft though. But in the A-10C it works.

About calling in other flights through the F10 menu... I've always wondered how it works practically. Is there a disadvantage to calling them all right away? When you call them, where do they go? To your SPI? To your posision? To the general AOA?

You were right! It's all golden today!

Awesome news Pushwagner. I hope you're right! :) Haven't had time to check it anymore tonight, will try again tomorrow :)

Uhm...wait. I hope to god you're not telling me I might have to wait a MONTH to play the module I paid for TODAY. Right? Right?!

Hi, Summer Sale. Apparently not on Steam. Can I buy FC3 on digitalcombatsimulator.com, receive a serial that I can activate and tie to my steam account? /Chris

Yeah I noticed that you can't bind it to an Axis. However I managed to get it working quite ok with a GlovePie script last night. Managed to write the script so that when I use the zoom axis, when it passes a 40% threshold on the axis, an F7 keypress is emulated, activating Precision mode. When it goes back under 40% it sens another F7 press to toggle it off. So far so good, BUT I noticed weird things happening with my mouse when GlovePie was running the script. Clicks wasn't registered and there was sometimes a second or two of delay between the click and when it actually registered...Gonna have to look into it more on why that happens.

Exactly. But I don't mean that the applications need to talk to each other. It would suffice if TIR Software could bind an axis as a "hotkey". My first idea was just that, to investigate whether you could bind the Precision Mode Hotkey in TIR, to an Axis on the joystick. But I found out that you can't. You can only bind regular "buttons". Even if binding an axis was possible, I'd not get the Precision Mode (sensitivity) of the TIR to scale with the amount of zoom (axis %). I'd only get Precision Mode activated. But that might do. I'm going to investigate if i can have GlovePie listen for axis movement and the emulate a keyboard keystroke to activate Precision Mode....

Hi all, Since I started using TrackIR5 a few months back (and love it btw) there is only one feature I dearly want regarding Zooming (not lateral head movement). The way I have it configured now is that I have a 2-way fingertip axis on my throttle that I use to Zoom in and out. It would be so awesome if you could somehow configure the TrackIR to go into Precision mode or in some other way scale back sensitivity when Zooming in. I know I can set up a button to activate Precision Mode in the TIR software but that's not really what I want. I'd very much like a gradual scaleback on sensitivity that follows the current FOV / ZOOM. Any one knows if this is somehow possible, either in game or in the TIR software somehow using advanced editing of config files or any such thing. Greatful for any feedback on this. //Chris

Hi Teo, Why yes it does, and yes I am Swedish indeed. Thanks for the invitation. Will do.

Hello all, I have no IRL friends that are into flight-simming but I'm a social type and like interacting with people and learning together. Currently I'm interested in finding people open to semi-casually playing perhaps simpler BS2 missions on a SIM level dificulty but with labels on. Or perhaps, labels off if someone dares "leading" the mission. If you are likeminded, please feel free to add me on steam and even write down your steam nick here if you want likeminded to find you for the same reason. I'm "theedge_jinx" on Steam.

Thanks for all replies. I've solved it now though. Dunno why I didn't check it properly before but I could actually configure the trackir z axis in game like I did with the axis on the joystick before. Set the axis as a slider and then curve it to offset the center to be about 15-20% zoomed out. :) Thanks all for your effort though!!!

This is offcourse what I was thinking too. Before I used an axis control on my throttle for zoom. I could "fine tune" that axis and turn it into a "slider" in game and then adjust the slider curve so that center zoom was in fact further back. But this is not workable with TrackIR "axises" in game is it? @blackbelter: Yes this is what I do now, but it's a hassle. The best way would be if I could offset the center of the Z axis in the TrackIR software but I don't know if it's possible.

Thanks for the input. I deleted the file "C:\Users\User\Saved Games\DCS\Config\View\SnapViews.lua" That seemed to reset the bad saved snap view. However, I've still not understood and managed to get a "default center" view that is centered but not as zoomed in by default...

Hi all, Just got myself a TrackIR 5 today. I love it. However. I'm using TrackIR Z axis as Zoom View and not as cockpit translation. And it works great except when I center view I find the default zoom level to bee too close. Is there some way to save or tweak trackir to have the "center" of the Z axis at a slightly negative number? (I'm hoping you gurus know what I mean).:helpsmilie: EDIT: Also, I've managed to save a non centered cockpit view. How in tarnation do I reset it to center???

trim when not in FD mode I'm not sure I want to agree with you here. (I still may be wrong however) Because when changing collective during trimmed flight the AP changes your pitch. This I question! Is it to maintain speed or altitude? Your saying it does not take current velocity into account when trimming. But it seems to me that it does. It "should" not be altering pitch to maintain ALT, as ALT channel is OFF right? So for what other reason than maintaining speed, is it changing my pitch when I alter collective? I think I would rather have the AP not touch my trimmed pitch when I change collective. To be an even more annoying questioning rookie :) I'd also like to add another thing to the table regarding trim. You say, when trimming, I tell the AP to maintain aircraft attitude. Sure, it does. But if I'm using rudder when trimming, it actually seems bugged to me. Some times in windy conditions I need to apply a bit of rudder to fly straight trimmed. But sometimes, especially when turning with rudder at low speeds, I come around to the heading I want, release trim button, and the darn thing keeps turning and turning. Seems like it's sometimes deciding to maintain heading where the nose is pointing when I release the trim button, and some times it decides to maintain current rudder input when released. I find this extremely annoying. Thoughts and reflections on this? :) Chris
