Well i have tried and i can lock F2 and F7 the way you describe it.. ie i am locked into cockpit mode, but the F2 to self and allies just does not work... enemy units always show. All units are hidden in ME as well.

i have the same problem RichardG, great playing coop missions, but pointless if u can F7 through all the enemy units.

yep no problem paying the $50 here, i am happy to have this great sim 3 months earlier than most.

I have been messing around with the ME for a few days now and still have a long way to get to nail it all down, but one thing that i cant seem to do is turn off External Enemy View. I see the options in the ME and have them all unticked, but as the host i can still cycle through all units. What i am trying to do is set it up so me and my coop friends can have externals for self and allies, but not enemy.... i am wondering if i am missing something here, i have read the pdf relating to the ME, but cant find a solution, or i am doing it wrong. Any help would be appreciated. Scif.

i have been looking for info about templates as well, i am sure i read something on the forum about them, but i cant find it for the life of me.

Thanks Ian. Will have a look tonight at them, i am loving the missions that have been created so far and have put them out for others to play and test. I want to have a play myself with the ME, but i am kinda lost really.. want to create some MP Coop for me and friends if possible, but i have to get me head around the ME first and how it works.

i found vista firewall was my issue for hosting and client issues, have done away with that now and all firewall rules are now hardware only.... seems there are always issues with software and hardware firewall running at the same time.

i would also add that since i disabled windows firewall and switched to Comodo Internet Security that i am now able to host MP games that show up on the server list. Clients still drop from time to time, but i am not sure that problem is my end rather than the net code having an hiccup now and then.

I love this Sim! Great work ED! I have now had the game for over a month and i am still learning learning things, hell it took me a week to learn the startup process. Great work indeed and many hours of joy to come i am sure.

i'm abit confused as i have not used any mods before.. i got the mlrs one working, but flare doesnt seem to do anything.. where does this file go?

Ok i guess i posted the wrong thing here, but i got the impression you wanted to know who could host etc, should of made it a bit clearer i guess. But has was said above up to 32 players, but without dedicated server software i cant see that being realistic.

I can play MP as Client or Host, but there is an issue my end regarding Hosting, no matter what i do be it have ports forwarded, windows firewall turned off and router put into DMZ my game never shows up in the server list. No idea how to overcome this issue yet.

interesting, i have an upload of 1.2mb so i guess i could host a server without much issue then.

i have a button mapped to clickable mouse cockpit mode on/off and switch between the modes whenever needed.

i am sure you can clear specific targets on the abris by selecting target type on the datalink panel, cycle through to the one you want and click clear. That should do it.

i would like to get track ir, but the cost is abit too much i think at the moment... how easy is it to make a freetrack compatible device?

makes no difference to me if i am running in 60hz or 75hz @ 1440x900 from what i have seen, prob due to my old Hanns-G 19" TFT.

i run at 1440x900 and looks fine, everything on full and driver options set to the highest i can on my ati 4870, but there is one issue that bugs be a little, i get a bit of screen tearing even with vsync on, it dont spoil the game, but is noticeable when i pan the camera with my mouse.

well i have mastered the start up procedure, and to some degree the nav, also i have the targeting un caging and switching on various options like turn to target and moving target. But i am far from being happy at the moment, i have alot of problems slowing to a stop very quickly for the hover, it seems to take me forever to get the thing steady before going into hover mode and in that time i am normally dead to fire or end up in the ground :) Wont put me off flying it though, it is all slowly coming together piece by piece. after all rome was not built in a day ...:lol:

have you used the wiper for the laser i wonder? i saw in one of the producers notes that it has one.. not used it myself. but you never know ?

i refer to it when i am lost on thing's, which is alot of the time mostly :)

i had a similar experience on a server as well last night where a friendly was killing all the friendly ground targets at the air base, i left soon after.

Ok i can now map my rotaries, but im confused, what option do u map them to say the top rotary on the x52 throttle for what u was describing, because i have tried mapping the JOY_RY to throttle, left and right throttle, but none work as u describe.

great read this for a stunning sim, i am really enjoying flying missions at the moment and getting to grips with the Flight Model in general. One issue i do have though is trying to bind my rotaries in the game, it just dont seem to pick them up when i have a profile running with the saitek software. Running X52 Non pro with Ch Pro Pedals and Vista 64 Ultimate on a E6400 clocked to 3.1ghz 4gb ram and 4870 512mb. Any suggestions? as i would like to try this setup

i have the same issue and only way round is to press esc twice to get it to work again, it's a pain, but least it works.
