    Hi Miles. I tried to PM you but its saying you need to clear out some space! Great Pic BTW! Glad to hear everyone survived! When you mentioned warm beer I thought you were going to have a pop at our lovely beverages!!! :D

    Great news Miles! Ah yes, that would be Catterick. Now home to our Para's as Aldershot has now been assigned to the annuals of military history. Good job on the para wings (and a survivor of "P" company to boot!) :thumbup: I have a work mate who was in the Para's, what year did you do it?

    LOL, I actually had scribbled down HMS as a possible but thought it might be a bit too associated with our Royal Navy... and as our Navy *cough* doesn't actually have any planes for its aircraft carrier yet might come across as a little ironic for a flight sim! :D

    Sorry Miles, can't take the credit for that one, I think that must have been someone else! As far as names goe however... Hmmm thats a toughie! You don't want anything too like HMD - Head Mounted Display - to avoid confusion with the VR headsets. (VR HMD) If I understand things correctly the item itself is an infra red camera sensor? So you could try something like MIRS : Mounted Infra Red Sensor. Or just MIR - Mounted Infra Red. Alternatively, as it is something that will go onto a HMD you could turn it around a bit and call it a DMS - Display Mounted Sensor. If I've totally got it wrong as to what it actually is, apologies and I shall think on some more. :)

    That sounds great, keep up the good work!

    Any news Miles?

    I am really quite dismayed to have read some of the recent posts in relation to what was said by one forum member to another. I would respectfully ask that both parties directly invloved resolve this by PM rather than put it out here for all to start adding to. I wouild also ask that other forum members stop "stoking the fire" on this topic and let the two gentlemen resolve this prior to any further public statements. Thankyou.

    Just a couple of thoughts while I'm in a sleep deprived stupor...kreeping in the spirit of your thoughts on "using the finger". :) 1:Digit Selectible Device (DSD) 2: Digit Controlled Device (DCD) 3: Digit-All FCU (Fingertip Control Unit) 4: FCU (as above) If considered rubbish please feel free to ignore! :laugh:

    Hi Terry, Just wanted to say a quick thankyou for this. I read the thread this morning and promptly ordered through an online service the parts to be made. ( Can't the internet be a great place sometimes!!!). Hopefully I will have them delivered sometime in the next week. Do you have any way of excepting payments/donations? As I would like to show my support for those, like you, who help make my hobby so much more enjoyable by creating things like this.

    Looks very promising, many thanks for posting the vid and have a good trip!

    This sounds a very interesting way of interacting with the cockpit, but I'm wondering how this will actually work. Does it mean to get full fuctionality of the cockpit you would need at least 3 of these - Left, Centre, Right? Or can you just use one of the panels to select any side? I understand that this is an optional extra and the finger senses will work on their own, but would be interested in seeing this additonal option in action.
  13. Ratcatcher
    Something I would definitely be interested in. If you can ship to the UK..."I'm in!" :thumbup: Good luck with the development.
  14. Ratcatcher
    That will teach me to not read the notes. Apologies.
  15. Ratcatcher
    Agreed, first noticed it when I fired up the new PG map. The red light is now flashing inside the cockpit despite it being obscured by the fuselage. Only way round it at the moment is to turn the light off. I haven't tried any other map since the patch so also unsure if its just PG. Will take a look when I can.
  16. Ratcatcher
    Or rather, its going to be in the low detail area. You can still fly over the area, its just not going to have any detail to it. (Well that's my understanding of it)
  17. Ratcatcher
    I read it like that first off, but I think he means spawning at the position where you would start the engines, not spawning with the engines started.
  18. Ratcatcher
    LOL, I fly in VR as well and was about to say something similar. :D
  19. Ratcatcher
    Thank you! Excellent reminder. I had indeed been suffering from this issue. (Along with my teamspeak playing up because of overwritten files). Sometimes its easy to forget these little gems! :)
  20. Ratcatcher
    Thanks, but are the missions in English? Or is it just a mission file without any text overlays? Cheers.

    Actually I think you will find the huge size is due to the new logo, everyone knows that yellow is a huge memory sink. :pilotfly:

    No issue for me with the kneeboard. In fact just got it to activate using Voice Attack, I also have added custom pages to it. All works as normal. Sorry not to be more help. Have you tried running a repair?
  23. Ratcatcher
    ...and its awesome! :D

    @imacken. I don't doubt there are some major (and minor) issues that need addressing. My post was merely pointing out that, like in most things in life, there are two sides to every story. Some posts prior to mine were practically calling for a lynch mob due to the release of 2.5 in its current state. I was just giving my personal opinion that my experience has been pretty good. Yeah I know, lucky me!

    Sorry, that may have been his point but saying "users that want to break it on purpose and those that break it from lack of knowledge." does not come across in his text. Clearly you both come from the programming side of things and not public relations...
