Although I can see it being easier IRL to not have to hold the trim, it still makes little sense. You would still be fighting the control the AP has. Being in auto-hover and trying to change heading is a perfect example. If you try and yaw, you are fighting the heading that the AP is trying to hold. If you hold the trim, then you just yaw over and release trim. You yaw faster and more precisely.

With Route and FD off, but the 3 AP buttons on, you will still be fighting the bank/pitch/heading that the AP is trying to hold. That is why you should hold the trim key.

I believe that is what we were told in the beginning when people were asking about trim. In the trimming thread. http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=571432&postcount=13 Hold trim Make input Release trim Release controls

Is that why ED has taken the step they have? Because they agree with this statement? Right. They didnt want to be on the wrong end if there was litigation.

Sounds to me that NP needs advocates to protect from the FREELOADERS! It is not anti-competative. It is protecting hard work. FT has more than enough right to go and lobby game manufacturers to support THEIR interface. Not one they stole. What game supports a Free Track interface? What is that? NONE! Because FreeTrack is freeloading off others. They need the game to support SOMEONE elses work.

Dont you find the Cockpits and HOTAS thread more appropriate? I do believe its the reason they made it. Thanks for the profile SKF, i will try it out.

Thats a pretty sweet paint job!

From what I can tell FD is almost the same as holding the trim button, and that may be why people are using it. Because it still dampens your inputs, but doesn't hold the bank/pitch/heading/alt. There is nothing to fight against. Holding the trim key will do the same. People 'should' (IRL) be holding the trim button, but it is hard to get used to. Even I just use the FD mode. I can easily trim it out, turn FD off and put it into a hover.

You assume that FreeTrack is legal merely because it has not been challenged in court. Lack of something does not prove the existence of something else. That is poor logic. Just because the RIAA is not going after individuals for pirating music and movies doesn't mean it is legal, yet using your logic it would be. Yes as flight simmers we are a very small community. We should be supporting those people and companies that actually give something to the community instead of taking what others have done. Maybe NP could offer software for a charge that was compatible with any webcam. But then I am sure there are some who would still whine about it. Would CH stand by if I hacked their software to work with my Saitek that has really poor software? Doubt it.

Yawn... Again with an irrelevant comparison. What OO does is not the same as what FT is doing. And wanting it to be the same doesn't make it so. NP has not taken FT to court, so how do you know the courts do not consider it illegal. I already showed you how the USC they think protects them, doesn't. I could even elaborate more for you, but I know it is pointless.

Apples and Oranges. Word and OpenOffice have nothing to do with this topic. The more important question is why such a workaround is needed as PPJoy and all that with BS? Because the data stream is encrypted. If FT wasnt trying to hack that data stream why would it matter if it was encrypted or not? The fact is that if NP had not done all of the work, FT would have nothing to work with. FT are nothing but half ass posers. The only reason they have support is because the majority of people lack strong morals and when they see something is cheaper they dont care how it was done, only that it is cheaper.

You are wrong. How does FT work for TIR enhanced titles? It uses the TIR standard..... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freetrack Essentially their workaround is just reverse engineering the enhanced interface to get the text strings they want. And that is why they must use the convoluted method to work with BS that is encrypted. Now if you actually go and read 17 USC 117 you will see it has nothing to do with what FT thinks it does. That USC applies to individuals who already OWN the product and wish to modify the program for use. FT doesnt OWN the NP software. The people who are using the modified software do not OWN a TIR. And like I said, if NP had never worked with these companies to get TIR supported, FT would have nothing to work with. They are just riding the back of someone elses hard work.

FreeTrack is not its own interface. If that is what you believe than you are smoking some good stuff. They even admit they stole the interface from NP. That GUI you see is just that a GUI to the actual interface. The only thing they have made was the GUI. Why would FT not work on BS when the data stream is encrypted? Hmmm.

Then you misread. FreeTrack has made nothing. They have only hacked an existing program. If NaturalPoint had never made their product, and had not taken the time and expense to get companies to implement the interface (that FreeTrack stole) then FreeTrack would have nothing. Zip, Ziltch, Nada. Heck for some game to work with FreeTrack you have to have the NP software installed... And that is why they are all pissy about NP encrypting the data stream with the new software, because they cant hack it without a lot of work if at all. Get ready for this thread to be locked. Great intentions by the OP though!

I went from the 3 to the 4, and gave my 3 away. I won a 4 at Fighter Ops and gave that away also. FreeTrack? I prefer to invest in people that actually make products. Without NaturalPoint, FreeTrack would have had nothing to steal.

So the correct way to turn is just to bank and increase collective? Using the pedals to keep stability and cyclic to control speed? Gonna have to mess around with that tonight.

I really don't have a problem....

Freaking fabulous!!!!! So do we need to point to the folder that dcs.exe is installed to? Or the KA-50 folder where the multiplayer.bat is installed to?

I think he meant blurry dials.

There is a manual?

I am sure you can assign affinity to multiple cores in XP. You just wont see any difference.

You mean like the Cockpits and HOTAS section?

I would like to request the addition of nationality markings on ground units, and also the option to choose some sort of Friendly marking. This is done all the time at least for Western forces, like a white/orange X on top and such.

Try setting the option for process.exe to run as administrator.
