    Not fixed in the latest update. Still not visible.

    Thanks Harker. You have made my F-18 flyable again. :thumbup:

    There seems to be an unusually large number of update servers offline right now. ( around 0200 UTC) However NBN in OZ (Melbourne) is giving me an OK speed around 6 MB/s. :thumbup:

    Until we get a dedicated towel rail click-point, perhaps we can modify the nearest existing one. Does anyone know how to change the result of a click on the mirror to give the salute keystrokes? Probably need to modify a .lua file somewhere. :helpsmilie: (I have managed to get Voice Attack to recognize the mirror keystrokes if done on a keyboard and convert it to the salute command, but so far cannot get it to recognize mouse or pointCtrl clicks).

    1. Update DCS open Beta 2. Start DCS open Beta and pop-up window appears for download/install Supercarrier 3. Install Supercarrier. 4. Smile. Worked OK for me
  6. Terry Dactil
    Yes. Installed the stable version (040220) and everything now works OK for me. :thumbup:
  7. Terry Dactil
    Yes. It happens to me. Main menu: hotspots and buttons change color but click has no effect In cockpit game start screen: same In cockpit Escape menu: works OK Debrief and exit: same as first two in this list. Not really a problem as the mouse still works fine

    I am hoping that external views will show the pilot saluting. If so, a Voice attack command would work well. Something like this When I say "Salute" (or click on towel rail hotspot) Go to pre-set external view of the cockpit (Press Left Ctrl+F4 keys) Press Supercarrier keybind for 'Salute' (Press Left Ctrl +Left Shift+S keys) Watch the pilot salute (Pause 2 seconds) Returns to cockpit view in time for the launch (Press Fl key)

    I have a Warthog throttle, and when I move back through the IDLE/OFF detent it shows two switches (one for each thrust lever) changing to 'down'. If your throttles do not have IDLE/OFF switches built in perhaps you can use some other hotas or keyboard switches as a work-around.

    The readme file included says you have to disable and replace all your old mods and liveries. That's a deal breaker for me.

    Maybe because the air force hook is intended to be used stop an overrun at the end of a runway, where thee is no vertical velocity, and not for caching a wire on touchdown where the vertical velocity caused the hook to bounce?

    Unfortunately Scale GUI is still not working for me. I was hoping it would be fixed by now. :(
  13. Terry Dactil
    Now it is even better with PointCTRL. This tracks your index fingers so you reach out to where the switch appears to be to select and operate it. See thread here https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=218861 The days of using a keyboard and mouse are rapidly ending. :)

    Turn your Spitfire into a pussycat on the ground by selecting a small amount of wheel braking and leaving it set. The rudder will now steer nicely on the ground without requiring airflow over it. Just don't make your turns too big or too fast as it will still ground loop if you let it get away. This also lets you do neat main wheel (not 3 point) landings as it helps stop the bounce. I love my Spitfire!

    Hi Miles, Can I have the tracking number for this one, please?
  16. Terry Dactil
    Thanks Miles, Yes, same address, but perhaps emphasize "AUSTRALIA" (That might stop it heading off towards Canada in the completely wrong direction). Can I also suggest using a service like FedEx or DHL for your overseas dispatching. My experience with them is that they are reliable and I can get stuff from the USA within a week. A lot of businesses down here have changed to courier services and dumped the national postal service for similar reasons. If the original package does eventually turn up, I can return it to you, or alternately I am sure I could sell it for you locally without any trouble. Regards, Terry

    Hi Miles, We can now celebrate the fact that the postal service has had my PointCTRL package for exactly one month, and it has shown no signs of movement for the last 25 days. Did you discover anything interesting with your inquiry?
  18. Terry Dactil
    Thanks Miles. It can be quite entertaining watching the tracking details of a package as it goes all aver the place in ever decreasing circles until finally getting to its destination. However, in this case with no tracking update for over 2 weeks it looks like there could be a serious problem with this one. ( LZ253552709US )

    It is on the way to Australia? January 6, 2020, 4:38 pm Arrived at Facility CANADA Your item arrived at a facility in CANADA on January 6, 2020 at 4:38 It is now two weeks without any signs of movement. I was hoping to get this last Xmas, not next Xmas :( Any one else have a similar lengthy stop while in transit??
  20. Terry Dactil
    Yes. That would be possible. I remember a story some years ago about a tourist thinking he was on a flight to have a holiday in Sydney, Australia and he thought it was a bit colder than expected when he arrived in Sydney, Nova Scotia! However, I would expect to see the tracking information updated and it has now been 10 days for them to discover an incorrect address. I'm a bit worried that some bugger has pinched it!

    Anyone know how to get my PointCTRL package out of the clutches of the Canadians? :) It is supposed to be on its way to me in Australia, but has not moved for the past 9 days.

    I think your Pony Express doesn't know which way it is to Australia :) (Australia Post does the same. I had a parcel sent from a city suburb 5 km away that went all over Australia before eventually finding me.)

    Thanks. I had the same problem, which is now fixed. Some clarification though. I had to be in mission editor to get the 'new' option and set a new load-out. It was then available in-game as a default. For the Spitfire I set my default options to Bomb x 1 Bombs x 2 Bombs x 3 Drop tank - slipper Drop tank - torpedo Perfect :thumbup:
  24. Terry Dactil
    Yes. Great idea if your throttle is still working. Not so great if the original electronics are dead like mine were. :D
  25. Terry Dactil
    Yes. Just looked. M3 x 0.5 pitch. Length 36.75mm overall. Measured diameter 2.88mm which is standard for a 3mm screw..
