2 weeks ago I started to get tingling feeling in my stick hand, like pins and needles in the thumb, and forefinger and nerve pain in my palm. I just got back from the doctor today, he told me it is carpal tunnel syndrome caused by my love of flying with the warthog hotas :( He told me to stop flying for a few weeks to see if it heals, if not an operation can treat it, but its not always succesful and in some cases can make the situation worse. So, now I have 2 options, option A, is rest my hand for a few weeks and dont fly and see if it gets better, if it does then I will find a lower position for the stick so that my wrist isnt being compressed, so that hopefully it doesnt happen again or option B, sell my warthog and go back to using a smaller stick or god forbid stop flying entirely. I am gutted, truly gutted. I think having it lower down and possibly centred mounted between the legs would fix the problem, but i dont know. So, is their anyone else out there who has started to get nerve pain in their hand due to the warthog ??? or am I the only unfortunate one ? My love of flying could be cut short by some stupid nerves, this is not a happy day for me :(

If your memory supports it, enable the memory XMP profile, that will auto set the ram freq and voltage for you. Since you are above 1066, then its highly probable that your ram will have atleast 1 xmp profile enabled on the ram. Your ram could easily be running at 1.5v, but once it gets maxed out it might have some problems. Best thing you can do is to enable the xmp profile if your memory have them, as that should sort out any problems you are encountering.

This game has the best engine sounds I have come across of any flight sim. Just a pity it always crashes on me :( I will make a post over at A2A when I have some free time, as I am dieing to get into this game, if only to listen to the wonderful merlin engines and the perfect 109 engines. I also noticed the funky cloud graphical errors, I would get funky rainbow colours all over, kinda like your vid card memory or core was fried, but it would happen in certain spots and at certain heights, outwith those areas it owuld be ok, but it was annoying, hopefully its the same thing we are on about. I will give this mod a try when I get around to reinstallign the game onto virtual xp, as I dont think it likes my version of windows 7 for some reason ?

Turn to a different channel other than ground crew channel. Its the same with blackshark, when linked to the ground crew, if you take off or move he will shout in your ears, because in reality he would still be chained to your plane/helo as he has to plug the headset into the aircraft. So they modelled it so that you have to change frequencies away from the ground crew freq so that he doesnt shout at you - which would resemble the ground crew unplugging his headset from your aircraft. It is not a bug.

Yea, SMBU is a great video and song :)

Hahahahahahahaaa, typical saturday night here :) And in the rest of the Uk by the looks of all the cop programmes on TV nowadays.

Holy shit, did you actually shoot down that sam ???

that shit is nuts :thumbup:

Actually, its nearer 1000, the so called fifty were only 50 for a very very short time. Normally their is roughly about 750-800 people onsite so they say, the international media made the "50" thing famous when it isnt exactly the truth, as only for a very short time back at the begining was their just 50 people onsite and that was only for a few hours, then the next day it went to 150 as you say and within hours back upto closer to 1000, where it has remained more or less since. When the place isnt being evacuated due to spike in radiation, their is a whack of people their working on it. If their was just 50 people working onsite and having to contend with all 6 reactors, the place would be in a much much worse condition than it is in atm. Still, its a shit job no matter how one looks at it.

What happens if you attack the C130 from the right hand side ? :) But I agree with ya, C130 gunship is an amazing thing, one of my Fav's.

One of the things that bugs me about my warthog is the red china hat button is now starting to wear away to a white colour :( You would of thought for the price of these things that they would of had red plastic buttons that are actually red all the way through instead of just on the surface. I have only had mine for a month, so judging by mine, others china hat button must be worse than what mine is I would think ?

seems like we are gunna get spoiled with new flight sims this year, dcs a10, cliffs of dover, jet thunder, now this. If things continue the same as the last two recent releases, the other two I named will be buggy and not worth playing for 6 months after release no doubt ? But atleast new flight sims are coming our way which is the main thing.

Its all over the news in Scotland that radiation from Japan is in the air and sea. Short term Iodine they say, so it shoudlnt cause any problems.

Happy Birthday Bud ;)

Already tried that also, sadly its a no go :( TBH, I am about to nuke this install as my ssd's need to be cleaned out as they are slowing down and since they are in raid mode trim isnt working, so I am about to kill everything and start again, hopefully when I do that a clean install will be ok ?

GG, If thats the cause, then I cant believe since fc2 came out and up until say 2 months ago when I stopped playing it with my x52, then I started playing it again 1 week ago with my new stick. I just cant believe that I never noticed it in all that time. Ahwell, I guess I will have to live with it, I also notice the f15 is like it aswell, it now has a brownish box at the bottom of the hud now where it didnt have previously in fc1/lockon. If I noticed it earlier then my brain must be like a sieve... If its the same for everyone else then I will get over it. Cheers.

Thank you for posting a solution, but it's a solution for some other problem, as it doesnt do anything for the problem I am facing :( I tried with small steps then big steps and each and every time I flew to test it, it was exactly the same as before. I am starting to think it maybe my thrustmaster warthog stick doing something, what I dont know, but I will figure soemthing out.

Yea, it has something to do with G, the ingame G setting doesnt have any effect, but I could of sworn that my 25t didnt do this before, I havent played for ages mind you, but I am sure it wasnt like this before or I would of remembered it, well I think I would of. I will take a look into disabling it when I have some free time to hunt for the file, or fingers crossed someone smarter than me suddenly comes along and posts the answer for me :)

Let me take all this in, the pic above was taken with no TIR enabled, I used the numpad to turn the view, it was just plain FC2 quick mission 25t, when the mission started I pushed forward on my stick and the front of the plane seems to lift up into the hud, when I pull back it goes the other way. Now if its 6dof, how do I disable it ? because it happens with and without tir enabled. I also thought FC2 only had 3dof ? GG, is their a way to fix it ? and does the same also happen in your version of fc2 ? if their is no straight up fix available, do you or anyone have any ideas on how to fix it ?

Does anyone know what is causing this, I noticed it 2 days ago after not playing fc2 for a while, I couldnt figure it out, then I reinstalled the game just now and everything is stock, no mods and yet it still happens. Pushing down and pulling up makes the pitot tubes and the front of the aircraft rise and fall, which in turn ends up with an ugly see through part of the aircraft when looking out of the HUD. I patched to 1.2.1 and its still the same, so I really have no idea what the cause is. I am using TIR and warthog stick if that should matter ??? Please if anyone has any ideas about what causes it from a fresh install, please let me know so that I can fix it, cheers.

If they went electric, the speeds would be crazy, seriously. I reckon they would be much faster with electric than they are with normal engines, but whats the point, they would get restricted and slowed down with each new season and each new stupid rule and end up the same speed as combustion engines. I want to see racing cars go 500mph around tracks stuck to the ground like glue and doing moves like the bikes in tron.

Yea, I seen this in a programme a few weeks ago, nifty little thing that will hopefully make landing easier in brownouts.

In the pic, of what I can make out, I had roughly 14 or 15 of those titles, maybe more if I could see clearly, but some rows I cant see what the names are, but for the ones I can see my total is around 14/15. Certainly brings back memories :)

As others have said, go into your axis assigngment page, delete the settings for your saitek pedals, delete/clear the ones that are on the cyclic line and then remap them to whatever you need them to be.

Isnt that what we watch it for ? :P Joking aside, bernie and the nazi make some weird decisions in F1, I think its time they passed the reigns over to someone else.
