  1. Hehe it is good to see that it is not only western tv that is afflicted with absolute crap :)
  2. Wow man nice, I really have to get off my fat ass and do something like this. Thats awesome.
  3. hehe ok CH stuff here we go.. 1: When you unpack them your first impression is that you have made a terrible mistake. You just payed out a small fortune for stuff you have seen your mate playing with last century. Zero sex appeal. Seriously look "meh". You notice the stick isn't the same stick your mate had last century because it now has 3 lights on it and a USB plug. Same deal with the throttle, memories of the ubber throttle quadrant for the FLCS or the saitek come to mind as you stare as this bland piece of yawn. Then you pull out the pedals, soooo close together. Yep ... ripped off. But NO! You aint hehhe. In fact you got what you paid for. Some seriously sweet hardware the has no style whatsoever but works like a treat. 1: Stick, looks meh. Spring pressure is way way low. You first thought is god this is not good. After you get used to it then you may start to think differently. I chuckle at all the trimming threads as I hardly ever trim unless I have to scratch my nuts or something. It is deadly accurate, does what it is meant to very very well. If your table is smooth and clean they won't move and inch. 2: Throttle, looks uber meh. WTF is up with this slide thing? Get used to it. Remember a collective should be used in the opposite way to a fighter. Fighter you would push forward to "power up". In a chopper you pull it towards you (Or up) to "power up". It won't take long to get the hang of this and now I can switch between chopper and planes no worries. You will be pleasantly surprised when you find out how accurate the thing is and another plus, it stays exactly where you left it. No creep. Also won't move if table is smooth and clean. 3: Pedals. Once again with all CH stuff. They look crap. Also a bit close together for my liking but you get used to it and they take up way less space then my old thrustmaster setup. Once again very very accurate. However on carpet the damn things move around like they have a life of their own. I jammed a couple of books between them and the wall that sorted the problem :) 4: Every one of them need a USB 2.0 port. The DO NOT daisy chain. If you don't have that many ports spare you have to get a powered USB hub but make sure it will work with them. Anyway as you can tell I love them. I spent quite a bit of time doing research before I bought them. I wanted something that I did not have to modify out of the box and I wanted it to work well. The only thing I have to find out for myself is the longevity of them, So far I have flogged them hard for a couple of months and still deadly accurate. Time will tell on long term but from what I have read it should be pretty good. Some linkages for you.. another one of the reasons I bought CH. Community support is hardcore :) The CH Hangar http://www.ch-hangar.com/ Stickworks... http://home.att.net/~stickworks/contents.htm From these forums comes this thread by Ghost... http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=33591 Want to mod that CH stuff aye?? http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=35520 Now scroll down...... You just started grinning didn't you emenance :thumbup: Anyway questions about programing should not be directed at me because I know squat about it. I learned to program in only what I needed, I was more interested in flying then fighting so as long as the gear came up and I got toe brakes I am a happy camper :)
  4. Hey this works, thanks madhotdog :thumbup: I am using wombats scripts modified by Prophet. http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=593129&postcount=10 So I just edited DSCAff_2Core_sp.cmd from this..... :init start bin\stable\Launcher.exe --console choice /t 30 /D N > nul goto loop to... :init start bin\stable\Launcher.exe -DX9 --console choice /t 30 /D N > nul goto loop as per your instructions and it's all nice and non shimmering. Something I had noticed before and new it was a problem as such but didn't really bother me. Now I am even bothered less. Thanks :)
  5. Hehe there is a manual? Probably explains what the hell all those other buttons and switches do !
  6. :thumbup:
  7. Yeah, collective to zero tho. Well I did at any rate.
  8. You should try capturing "half size" with fraps. By the time it has been uploaded to youtube and then they modify it again you won't notice the difference except in it's "physical size" on you HDD and upload.
  9. I lol'd :)
  10. Stage 6 was very nice.
  11. lol gold! Thread is bound to get moved to Military and Aviation tho :)
  12. Actually youtubes "HD" is about 855x478. Not real HD but nice and clear. They call it HD so so do I . Check it out... Click the "watch in HD" at the bottom right of the picture. May not be ubber but certainly good enough as well as giving you the choice of standard or "HD" :)
  13. Well you would be looking for this thread here then... http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=36203 :)
  14. I use 720p and get HD.....eventually. What I have noticed is HD doesn't appear straight away. It sometimes take quite a while to show the HD option. I use mpeg2, 1280x720 (720p) 4000Kbps with mpeg audio at 256Kbps.
  15. Hey sweet, some nice stories there :thumbup:
  16. As if I would get into anything I built !
  17. Nice!
  18. Only vista (Any flavor), doesn't seem to do anything worthwhile for XP multicores.
  19. Heh a little more info would nice. An error with what? Is the file corrupt? Try installing it yet? Are you using vista? If so make sure you turn off U.A.C. and you install it as an administrator.
  20. I should probably answer the Fraps question a little better. For me I use Fraps because it is vastly easier and faster then rendering it with the game engine. It will record what you see in real time if your system is up to it producing an avi that is easy as pie to throw in some form of editor or another.
  21. Because the inbuilt one is what you use if you don't have fraps :) Nice one cat, CTRL +Y (Tap 2x) will get rid of the stat's bar on the bottom fyi.
  22. lol
  23. LOL Mastiff, you probably got that response because you have pretty much given no information. For example, what type of joystick, throttle, pedals. Sensitivity where? In game or in the game controller application themselves or in the windows setting? No body knows what you are talking about at the moment :)
  24. Maybe a gut full of collective? Kinda hard to say with the information given. Attach a trak to your next post and we can have a look.
  25. Oooh baby I would fly it :thumbup:
