Fun to check out with all sorts of information http://flightaware.com/live/airport/KLSV

Sweet! Glad I could help and that it worked! I am finding little things here and there that are a little anoying, but it isnt stopping me from flying. This simulator ROCKS!!!

Ok..I got a hold of him and this is his reply. "I checked (padlock) and then in the mission i hit (esc) twice" Padlock is in the option settings...it is unchecked by default. Give it a shot!!! Hope this helps! Matt

I haven't been able to contact my friend yet, but just for kicks, when you start a mission and are sitting in the cockpit, try hitting escape, then escape again (basically exit out and cancel to enter back). See if that does anything. I know that sounds retarded, but thats what fixes my mouse zoom in/out function. I will see my friend either tonight or tomorrow, cuz they are having a baby today!!!!! :smilewink:

Last night my friend had the same problem with his mouse not providing clickable switches. Everything else worked (zooming, etc). I'll ask him ASAP and let you know what he did to fix it. He too uses the mouse for cockpit panning, etc...instead of Track IR. He is also running Vista Premium 64bit...not sure if that matters.

I also found the issue with the "zoom" going into training mode vs. mission. Here is what I did to fix it. (Note that I use Track IR, so I dont have issues with panning around the inside of the cockpit with the mouse.) 1. For some reason when in training mode, everything works as expected. When you switch to mission mode, you lose the crosshair, get the radar blob (top right corner) and red text for cannon (lower right corner of the screen). I found that you have to goto OPTIONS, GAMEPLAY and select SIMULATOR (from the bottom of the screen). For some reason, the default is set to game not simulator. That will bring things back to normal "simulator" mode. 2. I also found that once your in the cockpit during a mission, you might lose the zoom in/out (w/mouse scroll) feature when viewing exterior of the KA-50 and then going back to cockpit. By hitting escape (to exit the game) and escape again (to re-enter), you regain the zoom in/out feature (or as JG14 stated alt c). This seems to be a bug, so hopefully it can be resolved. Hope this helps!

Thanks! :)

Just purchased and downloaded last night. This is the best combat sim I have in my collection! Props to the DCS team for a superior sim! :thumbup: Can't wait to get into battle. :smilewink:
