Axis curvature may not be very effective for your particular joystick setup. Input spiking when breaking out of the deadband sounds like a typical characteristic of a potentiometer control. That being said, your hardware converter has a low pass filter but this only takes out high amplitude, short period inputs. I imagine there is some freeware available to further filter the input and ideally smooth out smaller transient spikes.

I just started having this issue today out of the blue. I tried resetting my PW and now my forum PW login changed but the ED website says it's incorrect. I still get the "cannot connect to master" prompt at MP login. So now it seems like changing my PW only further complicates things. I own the steam version so I'm running another integrity check. It looks like I won't be playing online for quite a while as this issue has no clear fix that I'm aware of. I've done every possible countermeasure on the boards. This is very frustrating. The issue was 2 conflicting versions of sweetFX. I wouldn't have expected it to interfere with MP connectivity. :doh:

I use FTNOIR with a 3 point model with 940nm LED's, 3 resistors, a 3.7v Li-on battery, and a PS3 Eye camera. Removal of the IR filter was easy but it shifted the focal length of the camera to about less than 5 inches away. This made tracking anything impossible. The solution was to remove the lens assembly from the camera again and very carefully sand the base portion that mounts to the CCD imager. That corrected the focal length and the setup works flawlessly now. It less than $40 in parts. Is it worth the time and effort to go the DIY route? I can only speak for myself and the answer is yes. TrackIR is a wonderful "turn-key" solution but IMO it's appreciable performance benefit from my DIY setup does not justify the price tag.

Just to clarify, specifically which switch is not working?

Hold the S key while turning to unlock the steering nose gear. And be careful not to barrel roll across the Tarmac.

1) That is incorrect, see the climb profile below. 2) The performance figures of the streak eagle can not be used as reference for the F-15C. IIRC the streak eagle had 3,000lbs of equipment removed(not fuel). Thats basically the weight of a car it didn't have to haul up to 40,000 feet. :huh: What is a moot point? Unless you typed something incorrectly mach 2+ is not possible at 1500 feet. It is only possible at altitude. The doghouse plot below is taken directly from the DCS F-15C manual. Press 2 on your keyboard. Look in the lower left of your HUD. That is your mach number. You must know your mach number at all times to stay within the flight envelope.

My best guess is that they modeled the ram air effect; a small yet considerable power increase as speed increases.

Perfect landing.

I've been using FTNoIR for a while now. At first I was using only face tracking with webcam app on my smartphone. I was blown away at the accuracy. Occasionally it would lose track, setup was a hassle and having a beard or any facial hair ruins the face detection. So, I went out and bought a PS3 Eye Toy. Using face-tracking the PS3 camera was actually worse than the smartphone webcam app. I decided to give IR a shot and Macgyver my own 3-point IR tracker for less than 10 dollars in parts from radio shack. Even with 940nm IR LED's the tracking was basically impossible due to the IR filter in the PS3 camera. (at least on my version) Moving forward, I decided to remove the IR filter from the camera. After a frustrating few hours I had the filter removed and had the camera reassembled. Not a single spec of dirt on the imager! I picked up my IR tracker, aimed it at the camera and... the image looked like a glaucoma patient's vision. It was extremely washed out, distorted, and totally useless for tracking anything. Upon further inspection I realized the focal point of the camera had shifted, by a huge amount. The image would focus crystal clear, only approximately 3 inches from the lens. Googling turned up some pretty insane countermeasures and most insisted it was a lost cause. After deep meditation, I realized that the removal of the IR filter had upset the focal length and the solution was simple. Either move the lense assembly forward or backward from the imager. Reluctantly, I disassembled the camera again but left it plugged into the computer. I tried shimming the lense slightly outward and realized the focal point was only getting closer. So, I grabbed a piece of 800 grit sand paper and very, very cautiously sanded the base of the lense housing, frequently checking the focal point. It didn't require much sanding at all and voila! It was fixed, objects on the other side of my room were in focus. Now I could finally try my IR tracker that had been collecting dust. Honestly, there is no comparison. Point tracking is incredible. Face Tracking is very impressive and will preview the feeling of immersion and added SA. Unfortunately, without stereoscopic cameras, face-tracking can't hold a match to IR point tracking. It is extremely intuitive, you look in the direction you want and thats it. It's like trying to convince someone in the not too distant past why they need the internet or a smartphone. Until you try it, you'll never understand.

I only experience the roll issue in single player, multiplayer is fine (aside from the fuel bug). I'll have to confirm when I'm off work.

The rectangles aligned vertically are displaying the azimuth of a radar jammer detected by the F-15's radar. You can position the TDC over the strobe and lock it to enter Home On Jam and the VSD will display HOJ. This mode only gives you the targets azimuth and does not tell you altitude, range or if the aircraft is friend or foe. When you get close enough (approx. <20nm) your aircrafts radar is able to overcome the noise of the jammer and the target will be displayed on the VSD, this is called Burn-Through. Hopefully that helps you a bit. I'll leave the other questions to the real experts. :thumbup:

It certainly does. It amazes me the wealth of information that can be found on the internet that would've been nearly unattainable a few years ago. Here is another interesting read, a "General Dynamics Flight Manual" for the F-16 MLU. It has some pretty incredible details. GENERAL DYNAMICS F – 16 FALCON: FLIGHT MANUAL 4

In the red circle the left number is the current G, the second number is the maximum rated G based on the aircraft's current situation.

I'm not sure if this is the correct forum to post this in. I did a quick search on the forum and didn't see it so I figured I'd share. I apologize if this is a repost. http://books.google.com/books?id=oUjlAwAAQBAJ&pg=PP6&dq=f-15c+manual&hl=en&sa=X&ei=zBAeVKr6EsWKyATxwIKADw&ved=0CCEQ6AEwAQ

I'm certainly not an expert on the F-15C's flight dynamics however I'm able to maintain controlled flight all the way down to the stall limit. Throttle control and very light stick input is crucial. Using ATT Hold can also ease control. Regarding the exagerated head movements, do you have your view controls bound to any device?
