Hi, I made a new account on YouTube and the video can be found here: http://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=m-ch-vid&v=LFu4Qb3jOuA I am not that into moviemaking anymore and fly more seldom due to a new love in my life, a woman! :)

I have Microsoft Sidewinder Pro 2 Fore Feedback, Saitek X52, Saitek throttle and Saitek Quandrant throttle. I tried your tip to disable the sidewinder stick but no joy. I am not sure if I ask for the impossible or if it´s modeled in the sim that it IS hard to keep a 100% level flight even with trim just like in the real thing. (I read that in A-10A book once). I can try to post a track later. I can "fix" the problem by using "alt hold" command with "H" button when I fly straight and level and disengage it when I am turning etc. I am just curios if there is someone else that can achieve 100% altitude (that means keep the height number in the HUD on ie. 1000f for instance) with just using trim and not alt-h. Or if there is place I can alter how much impact each trim "button" does. I want it half en! :)

Ok, I will try to disable my sidewinder stick in device manager. Anyway, here is a video I made. Unfortunately, I can't fraps at the highest resolution so it may be a little difficult to see the hud in this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZD6P02TyhNg

I have Microsoft Sidewinder Pro 2 connected and checked that none of the buttons or axis on the sidewinder stick is assigned in the control setup. I have not uninstalled the driver from windows to try that as it's time consuming and boring to install/uninstall every time. Hom ever I do not think that may causing my struggle to hold altitude. I have no problems with both sticks in IL-2, old Lock On, X-Plane 9, Falcon 4.0 AF etc. I have tried to enter a bigger deadzone but I assume there is something else causing it. If someone could lead me to a file I can alter trim values, like half en the amount of each step in trim and the problem would be solved that way...I also find it strange when I try to use my sidewinder stick in Lock On 2 that it's VERY sensitive. That was not the case with the old FC. I need to adjust curves A LOT to make it flyable and even then I find the stick to be too sensitive in Lock On 2. Strange thing, since in IL-2 1946 and Falcon + X-Plane the sidewinder stick rocks! I am going to fraps a video with me talking about the problem while flying and post it on YouTube.

I have bought the download version of A-10C, but my comp is miles away from running it more than 12-13 fps on average. I bought it to support you guys and when I can afford a new computer I can start study again! I have learned Falcon 4.0 AF pretty well and Lock On FC 2.0 is a nice break from Falcon which means I don't need to learn a lot just to fly and have some fun. Hom ever I find it a bit annoying that I can't achieve a steady altitude even with trim in the A-10A. I have actually read that the real A-10A is hard to hold altitude even with trim and therefore we have the altitude hold mode for that? I can try to post a track later today. I use the alt-hold mode a lot when flying straight and level and uncheck it when I am running in hot. I have a friend who is coming back to Lock On after 4 years of absence so I plan to make some nice missions for us. :) I am also wondering if anyone else have the same problem? Can you hold a steady level flight with the same altitude with trim. I mean not trimming a lot, but trim "it in" and leave it and still hold the altitude?

Anyone? It's really annoying to constant trim the A-10. I can't remember the plane was so difficult to hold altitude without constant trimming...

Just come across this video on the Tube! As I can´t enjoy the sim because of my aging rig and steep hardware requirements I can always enjoy some nice A-10 footage! Press the HD button, sit back and enjoy, and afterwards fire up the sim! (You lucky bastards! :megalol:)

Hi all! As I have leaved Lock On and Black Shark for a time flying Falcon 4.0 AF/Free Falcon I am now trying to get back into Lock On and Black Shark again for some variety! :) I have purchased the A10C but the beta version runs like a slideshow on my aging 2.7GHZ Dual Core. Hence why I am trying to get some air time in LOFC2.0. Hom ever, I struggle to keep the A-10A in level flight. I know you can use the altitude stabilize button (ALT+H or just "H" cant't remember now) but even with trim I either pitching a little down or up. That's very annoying and I can't even remember this was a problem with the old LOFC 1.12 patch. This kills the fun for me because I use more time to keep the bird in level flight than actually searching for foes. I know I can use the hold altitude but I find it annoying to turn it off/on every time dive or evade etc. I also use Saitek X52 and I have no trouble keeping any plane at level flight in X-Plane, Falcon, Black Shark or any other sim. Anyone else that have this issue? In the F-15C it keeps level automatically if I remember right.If the trim applied was half of what it is today, the problem would have been solved. Is there a config edit to how much trim is applied? Anyway LOFC 2.0 and Black Shark is amazing sims. I am no trying to get into Black Shark after having the sim for over two years and it's a blast! Too many sims, too little time! :) So ED, don't rush A-10C! :megalol:

GA: Do we need DirectX 11 to be able to see the awesome water and sun effects? I am on XP SP3 and I do have a GPU card that support DirectX 10, but I don´t think the rest of my system does? Crossing fingers...BTW: Awesome movie. I commented on the YouTube video, but this is a truly masterpiece of a movie and the best machinima movie I have EVER seen! And I collect those and have seen A LOT! :) EDIT: I saw the above post just now! Ahhhh...I am relaxed again! :D

Clickable pit: F-18 Hornet in Lock On 2.0 or DCS: BS? I just stumbled upon this: WOW! That guy has talent! Maybe he should team up with ED? Wags? Try contacting him! Too bad you can´t comment on the video, I may try to PM him. he can´t just have this all for himself? I want it too! :)

Wife? What´s that? Do we need that? I think sims like this really should get the wifes nervous when release dates comes near! The heck, at least they know where we are! Home in the sim doing nothing wrong! :lol:

Okey, I uninstalled, backed up my control settings, installed again, then patched and restored my control settings. Ok, I lost my tweaks and was told not to upgrade the patch from 1.01 so I lost countless of hours of tweaking . I had the sim run on my "crappy" comp at around 30 fps. Now I am around 20 fps and it´s hard to enjoy the sim with these numbers. I really appreciate the patch ED, but next time you release a patch, please make easier for us customers. We who pays for the sim. I have a family and can´t sit in front of the comp all day, and sitting evening after evening of tweaking just to get a descent fps takes time. Time I could have been spend flying instead of tweaking. If we where able to update the game to a newer patch without a complete reinstall would be much appreciated. All other game or sims I have you simply just upgrade. So this is a step back. BTW: Can you still use Frazer´s fps guide for this patch version too? So I can try to bring my fps back in the 30´s. I have a dual core Athlon AMD 2.7GHZ and 3GB RAM so I need to tweak some before enjoying it again!

Just before I apply the patch, will my config files etc be reset after the patch is applied? I have used a lot of time (countless of hours) tweaking the config files etc to keep the Shark smooth regarding fps. So, should I backup my config files or input files before applying the patch?

Yeah, but why is he not using Track IR? :huh:
