Are there any hotas out there with FFB? I have the x45 but they're huge and uncomfortable to be honest (and no FFB). The reason I ask about the FFB is that I had a game long ago I think it was jetfighter IV or something like that and got into a flat spin and just the fight to get control was awsome. The stick was going back and forth, etc. It really gave me the "Oh S@%t!" factor. Now having never flown a jet I don't know if that is what really happens, but it was cool non the less. I'm looking for something good, not a piece of junk. I would appreciate any help on this.

There is something out there but I can't remember what i did with the link. :doh:

Okay. I finally figured out what I was doing wrong. Now this puuppy is lookin GOOOOOOD! Thanks ggg87. You da Man!!!! The zoom thing ...are you having a problem w/ your TrackIR 3 zooming? I ask because before I started uninstalling and re-installing LOMAC FC I couldn't zoom in or out w/ TrackIR. I had to use the (/ &*) keys. Since I was having problems getting my TrackIR to work at all while re-installing everything I decided to uninstall TrackIR and re-install it w/ an older version of software and now it works fine. I loaded up TrackIR_4.1.026.Final. I changed the views for the A-10 to the same as the F-16 and it works good as well. It just seems to lag when I look too fast or something. I'll have to play around w/ it. Thanks Again ggg87! :thumbsup:

I'm sure we could do that. At the moment I have uninstalled the game and re-installing it. I think I may have screwed up a bunch of stuff looking for some of the "camera" views. Do you have a ventrillo server or Teamspeak server you use? It would make things easier since I seem to over analyze everything. Hopefully I can get this thing to run again. If it makes you feel any better I'm using a MS Sidewinder FFB2 for a stick. No comparison to your Hotas. :joystick:

After further review, I can see everything just fine.....now that I'm in the F-15 LOL! It doesn't seem to be the same for the WartHog which is the one I thought I'd start off with for a beginner's starting point. Any way you could tell me what the maximum and minimum values are? (i.e. horizontal angle max, vertical angle min, vertical angle max) I've been playing with it but for some reason I can't get it to look down any futher than it does. I started with the same values but makes no difference. I'm also curious about the TrackIR zoom thing. Didn't know about that.

Thanks for the reply ggg87. I don't know if I mentioned this in my previous post or not but when I zoom out it seems that my verticle range of view decreases even more. If I zoom out all the way I can barely see the radar looking down as far as it will go. And I believe you posted that you can turn all the way back and see the headrest (or somewhere near). I can only turn to the tips of the wings. Forget about seeing the bottom of the canopy. If I want to look at the ground I have to roll the plane, then look over. After seeing your pics :worthy: :worthy: :worthy: I GOTTA HAVE IT!!! My specs are: A8N32-SLI Deluxe motherboard AMD 64x2 4400+ processor Dual 200 Gig HD's SATA @7200rpm 2 Gigs of RAM BFG 7900 GTX OC video card (waiting for prices to go down for the second one. :thumbup: ) 3 ViewsonicVX922 ( I think) @ 2msec. response time. TrackIR 3 PRO. And last but CERTAINLY not least, the TH2GO. Do you need to know anything else? P.S. I'm really happy you replied. Thought maybe it was dead. Now maybe there's hope. OH! :doh: Whenever I try to do the training missions, the arrow is way off! It's talking about the altimiter and it's circling somewhere in the middle of the widow/canopy/whatever you call it, lol. Is there any way to fix that?

:helpsmilie: Hi guys. I'm new to all of this so bear with me please. ggg87, I've tried the things you said to try but for some reason I'm still zoomed in more than yours and when I look down I can maybe see the top of the joystick. No way can I see the legs, etc. Also, when I pan from left to right I can only see maybe to the tip of the wings and barley the top of the missles hanging from the wing. This condition gets worse if I zoom out any more. I have no idea what I've done wrong but any help would be appreciated. As I said before I'm new to all of this meaning new to flight sims, editing files etc. I'm running my resolution at 3840x1024. Don't get me wrong, I had a blast this weekend blowing up tanks and shotting down planes in the quick fly's this weekend but I'd like to get the whole visual package to help with the immersion factor. :joystick:
