Ticket ID: 16417 I tried to purchase Combined Arms this time last month and due to some error between Paypal and Eagle Dynamics, I did not receive my product. The money was taken from my account, but apparently never sent to Eagle Dynamics or something. On October 8 2012 I received an update to the ticket saying that a refund was issued. I still have not received this refund. I have updated my ticket twice since the 8th asking about the refund. I know the support group is busy, but taking a month to resolve a payment issue seems a little much. Do I need to submit a dispute with Paypal or is this something that can be handled through ED? Thank you

I would also love to come and fly with you guys. I'm still working on basic flight manuvers, but I'm comming along.:pilotfly:

When I try to purchase from the website, I get a message that reads, "The Card Range not supported by the system." Anyone else have this problem and know how to work around it?

It's the reset button for when you crash.

That was great Wags. It just makes me want DCS even more. I can't wait to spend many sleepless nights pouring over the manual.

I would like to have training missions. That way I'll have some proficency in flying when the full version is released.

WOOHOO!!:bounce: Great news, I can't wait for the English release. Untill then, at least I'll have time to study the manual once it's out, finish my controller set up for BS. Oh, yea, and actually spend some time with my first newborn child due to arrive sometime in the next couple of weeks before I forget I have a family outside of my new KA-50 and my wingman.:drunk:

Most of what I've tried to get working are older games, like silent hunter 3 and such, some I can get to work, others I can't.

I hope not, I have never been able to get a starforce game to work with Vista.

Well if they get the US release right, I'll be able to do my flying while I'm off work caring for my first child:D, who is due to be here around the end of this month. I'm realy happy to hear that it's finaly time to do some serious helo simming. :joystick: Which will be followed by some serious helo crashing.

That's good to know Urze, I was able to get it up and running though. Apparently if I try and run in with the different resolutions for the menu screen, then it locks up, it I use the same resolution for everything, in the view file, then it runs. There was some terrain glitching on the side monitors and they eventually froze while in the cockpit view though, I'll have to tinker with it a bit more.

:notworthy: This is good hear, I have both the cougar and the x52, but I perfer the feel of the cougar. I have been thinking of doing and extention, I just havn't sat down and opened it up yet.:D:joystick:

Well, the program will start now, but when I try to start the simulation, the whole thing crashes. I had it where it would start the simulation earlier, but the view was badly streatched, now I can't figure out what I did that is causing it to crash. I do however need to give the computer a good ceaning, so I think I might do that this weekend and see what comes of it. So my next question is should I wash with a mild soap or more like a degreeser? ;)

I looked through the thread you had posted, but my problem right now is that I can not look at the LUA files. When I bring them up in notepad all I get is a bunch of symbols. What do I need to have to look at those files properly? Thanks

Well I was unable to make my system to force TV detection so I have decided at the moment to go with the 2 17" monitors as my side views. I set up the graphics config file at you specified, but it is not working properly yet. When I start up LocOn it runs good, the menu screen is displayed only on the middle monitor, but when I go to start the sim, the screen just constantly flickers from desktop to black screen then back. I can hear the music in the background but can't do anything else.

I think that those are all hand made, I know that is what I am doing.;)

I was working on making my own collective when I saw what Urze did. I had the Siatek command pad laying around collecting dust and decided to give it a try. I've almost completed it, but I still need to make attachments for my chair.

I was able to get the program to run, but it seems to take the single screen image and stretches it so that I only part of the top of the screen. I tried to use the squash screen, but all I get is a black center screen and the SoftTH logo on the others

The other question I now have is how to view the files in lock on, such as the config and graphics files. when I try and open them in notepad, it is all gibberish.

I'm at work right now and now I can't wait to get home in order to try this out. I wonder if it would be easier to just use one of the wide screens in teh middle and the two 17" standards on the sides and just run it like that until I can afford another 22" widescreen. But, I'll also try your suggestion and see how it works, though I'm not sure it will recognize the smaller screen as a TV. When I was setting up the screens last night it at first would only recognize the 2 22" screen and not the 17" one, even when I asked it to look for TV inputs. I got it working by plugging one 22" into primary card and the other two into the secondary. At that point it was late and I was starting to make little errors so I quit. I'll have to work on it again this evening. My biggest problem will probably be that I have not done much work with altering config files, so I'm not always sure if I'm doing it right. Whatever I do, it will be a learning experiance.

Vista

What you guys are doing with these control boards are great, I'm going to have to learn how to get these working with the sims. I know I can make the panels, I jsut don't know how to import and export the data to the panel.

What I have is 2 22" LCD's that are wide screen, 16:10 ratio. My 17" CRT's are not wide screen. What I was asking is if I could set it up like 17" standard | 22" wide | 22" wide woudl that cause issues, or would it be better to set up like 17" standard | 22" wide | 17" standard Also, I am running 2 8800GTX graphics cards. By the way Urze, you have been an insperation for my current project. If I could afford a touch screen monitor I would be useing that as well. When I saw your set up in the LLTM video I was amazed.

First of all I just want to say hello to everyone. I'm rather new to Lock On, but I have been enjoying it very much and can't wait till Black Shark comes out. While waiting for it though I have decided to get ready by doing some work on my computer. I have a question about SoftTh. I currently have 2 22" LCD's and 2 17" CRT's, what are the possibilities I can use for setting up the three monitors in SoftTH. I didn't know if I could use the two LCD's adn just use one of the CRT's on one side, or if the two side monitors had to be the same size. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks
