HAVE THE EXACT SAME ISSUE!!! Any fixes as of Recent? It does the same thing with me LCTRL+T doesn't work and even the windows key combo I have does the same thing it just presses the key not the Ctrl Addative. I posted my problem in the Saitek forums here. :joystick: READ the latest Post in this topic... http://www.saitekforum.com/showthread.php?t=18209 Here's what I said... Oh well now it seems there is a new problem. I set Trimmer Reset to "LCtrl+T" Activated by holding the Pinkie switch and pressing the "C" button under the MODE1+Pinkie drop down. I thought everything was fine and I even tested it in the profile and it works it says "CONTROL T control T" when i press it.

I'm replying to this thread because I too agree ED should add their product to STEAM. I really think we should have a pole on this, not that it would change anything, but that the information would be out there for people to see. I encourage anyone to make one. Now I'm going to state some observations about this topic, since this is what a forum is for speaking about topics at hand and sharing information. Steam is a Trusted platform of well over 13 Million users which well outweighs the amount of people who don't like it for their own personal reasons, which is their right, btw also and it doesn't prevent any customers from getting the game the traditional way (through the website) as as a side note. What we are talking about here is why hasn't this information been answered more by the people responsible for making its change, instead of the moderators of the forum answering it for us? Do the Moderators handle this? Is this the position of the whole ED team? Has "Wags" answered this question directly and if he has answered it. Where is the answer? Who do we talk to to get DCS: Black Shark on Steam? Would they listen? If there is something that prevents ED from agreeing to put their product on STEAM. Can you let your customers know what it is so we the people can contact STEAM to see if they would be interested in the ideas of their customers? Who owns the rights to this game? Fact: There is no reason for SF copy protection on Steam, as there already is a system of copy protection implemented within its own platform. Opinion: Really its easy to just figure out this is just all about money, like it always is. ED just intends to keep their position that you buy only keys to license's for playing the game, that way their not actually allowing you to use the game as many times as you wish. Instead they just give out 5 passes to install it and uninstall it. That way the softwares never is really is yours to own just a few passes are. With this method your customers have to keep buying the game if they play it regularly it to make them profit. If your computers HD fails or you get a virus, which considering the amount of those out there it happens all too often. As far as I know ED does not add an activation to your account if this happens. Maybe though this is only the first step so they can make enough to get the game on a platform like Steam. So here are the rules that apply to such a sticky situation ED has placed itself in, instead of getting enough investors to get the game on a big platform from its launch date. 1. Their position rely's on the fact that people will will be happy to for-go their rights to the use of the game by buying the game multiple times if this happens, therefore making the company more money. And Rightfully so ED should make money on this game it is a good game. 2. That any customers that oppose these terms are few and a small minority and that the ones that do not like it, will cave in and just buy the game anyway. 3. That they already make enough money from the customers that agree to their terms that there is no need to change them to make more period. 4. If I'm wrong and there simply isn't enough budget to make the game steam ready, than how far is the goal? 5. Would buying the game the regular way reassure the game will get on steam? Is there intention? Its simple if ED didn't make any money, because of their terms, than they would change their terms. Its simple Supply&Demand. Nothing answers this better than polls. My big question is why hasn't WAGS answered this question directly to his customers. Wouldn't he be the one to change this or is it the whole ED TEAM? If he has where is the info or link on it? To conclude, every company wants money Or as far as is know it take too much money to convert the game to steam? Which is why things are the way they are. I disagree, but nothing answers this question better than POLES! I'm sure ED already did a pole just there's not information out. It appears ED believes that it already provides what the majority of its consumers want and so things have not changed. How hard is it to get investors if there is demand. NO DCS ON STEAM. yet. Now I don't blame ED for this, since these sims are hard to make, require plenty of talent, and hard work. Much love to ED FOR MAKING THIS... there really aren't many sims around now a days that are worth playing, and they did a great job with this one. ED is just doing things the way they please and more power to them, because they have the freedom to do as they please, as we also have the freedom to not buy the software if we choose we disagree with their terms of buying it. I just hope things change soon. So really there is always a trade off between copy protection, licensing, what your customers want and positioning yourself in the middle of all that in a way that you might make enough money to survive the long run. I would say i completely disagree with this, as you would prevent more people from having the chance to buy your software, besides most of the hard work is already over, why not widen your fan base, this doesn't make sense to me by not including those on a HUGE SALES Platform like STEAM that at least i'm betting is a larger fan base than you think. I think is just out right LUDICROUS, just like the people who appose Steam, but to each his own. My point is when I buy software. I expect to OWN IT. So they only 2 things a dissatisfied customer can do is 1. TALK ABOUT IT. 2. Not buy the game a second time. I bought the game but i will not buy it a second time untill its on Steam. These are my terms and if ED wants to change theirs they will. Charging people based on number of installs it just another way to justify their way of thinking that they will make more money from people having to by their game again in the name of copy protection thereby sacrificing customer moral which is a bad idea in my position. I strongly disagree with this stance as it opposes a base of your customers, which is never a good idea, but again they can do as they wish. Thats why I readily buy games on STEAM and will wait to buy their game until ED changes their terms. I guess by seeing how many people have answered this thread we have some what of an answer, maybe I'm wrong after all. Maybe it would take too much money to convert the game to steam. If so how much? What kind of future projection would there be to make this happen. Can't this game get more investors? If there are any others and you would agree with a STEAM version of DCS I suggest you speak up now.

I should have known route mode... :doh: thx alot for the explanation:thumbup:

How do you get 900 engine gas temp... how do you adjust it? I can't make it over the mountains... plz help... At WP5 I switch over to TGT1 without ever turning off the RTE switch. What does this mean above? TGT1 = ? RTE = ? thx for any help in advance... sorry about the noob questions:)

If that were even possible i would be jumping up and down right now... ;) I'm pretty sure its not:(

... Just curious, how many people have successfully done this to date. Where is the fun with trains mission pack?

Amazon.com Amazon.com 2 days Tick-Tock!:):joystick: This is interesting its still dropping in price now 36.99 :thumbup: http://www.amazon.com/DCS-Black-Shark-Pc/dp/B001OAUBR2/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1238997076&sr=8-1

Could you please point out where you found these? any links would be nice to look at?:book:

I don't think enough people have seen this.... I was thinking somone would do something kewl like this... Mod list 1. 2. 3. 4.

Just qurious what everyone thinks would be must have mods for DCS Blackshark? If you could make a Must have list? Links would be nice to read up :thumbup:

could you circle him? lol seriously...

Mad Props ED! :thumbup:

I guess we can agree to disagree... theres also another benifit if you use steam... There will be no need for activations... since all game liscences are handled by the accnt authorizations, so no need to worry about losing your cd key or anything like that... anyway... When are you on a time limit on your own computer? Agree to disagree...:book:

Excuses Excuses...:helpsmilie: For the record Steam games don't need copy protection so the Steam version would likely come out without Starforce... besides there are hundreds of games on steam not just a few valve games. I'm sorry but thats about the worst excuse I've ever heard... you said "I bought a game on a steam an lost my account info..." Wow... should you really be handeling money from a bank account if you can't remember a user name an password to begin with? You can't buy a game on Steam without a user account, so you would have had to have logged in to buy it, is it really that hard to remember... you have an email address they could reset it for you, if you remembered your email, I guess thats even harder to remember, sounds like a pretty bad excuse to me. Oh and same directory? Wow so you don't know how to install steam to another dir so the game installs on that same drive? I'm amazed you guys can figure out the sim, seems its more complicated that remembering a password or installing a game for that matter. I'm basically saying your just making up excuses cause you didn't wait, but that doesn't bother me... I might just cave in, but I guess whats really holding me back is I'm waiting for the AH-64 mod, since thats what I really want to play :joystick: Until than or When I cave in...:pilotfly: thx HRM we'll see...

Why not land on the train... sounds fun to me:thumbup: Would be kewl if somone made a mission that read: Terrorists have hijacked the train an all its passengers.... You'll have as much time as needed to land it or the all its passengers will be executed or your money back:joystick: lol sweet...:pilotfly: j/k

Any day now? :noexpression: Who else is waiting for the steam release?

So I guess I'll need to have a partition of Vista 64bit for games an XP Pro for the rest... Are there any problems or hoops to jump through when installing XP Pro on a system that already has say 8GB of ram or will it install ok and just not use the rest? Question 2: With Vista 64bit does BS actually use more than 2GB to run the game or can it use more if its avalible? Or is there a trick to using more for faster loads say?

I read some threads that this game runs faster on Vista 32 bit vs XPPro but what about WinXP 64bit anyone tried this out? Is the game even compatible with XP64 bit? I really dont like Vista System Resource Requirements but thinking about uping to XP64bit... anyone tried this Cons vs Pros on either in GENERAL as an OS. Comparing resources and tipical performance? and or with or without the game? ;) PS. about 3 more days an my new system gets here hehe Q9550 gonna be o'clocked an rdy to rock...

mods?

How Big is the Game unpacked? I'm going to Dual boot XP an Vista. Just curious how much space i should put for XP with the Game fully installed and patched:huh:

What are your specs Did this work in Windows XP PRO or VISTA? :huh:

bump:book:

Super:pilotfly:

Wow you guys sure could use a little humor. Try not sounding a little more desperate. It was refering to wombat778's post. Personally, I don't find collidable trees that much of a big deal... Your not getting browney points for being defensive about a video game their bound not to be 100% accurate. You can't tell me thats not funny since the makers keep pushing for realism, and than miss an important aspect like that. I'm sure they even said oops an giggled. better game than what? you have no idea why I havn't bought it yet. "BROKEN GLASS" :megalol: Actually I'm waiting for Newegg to send the parts for my brand new system since this one can't handle BS, not that I have to explain myself to you. I'm amused you think I have nothing better to do than start a Vendeta about who's game is better...:doh: you could stand to calm down just a bit... were done...:music_whistling: PS. I think BS is Marvelous! kidding aside... to each his own opinion. Or are we not allowed to have an opinion on this forum? My respects to ED for their excellent effort.

Why shouldn't we be able to fly through water falls too then if were trying to be realistic:megalol: no offense I couldn't make one better, but thats a noticable boobee...
