  1. I too am having this problem. Unfortunately, setting my throttle forward a little is not working. I am using HOTAS Cougar and this was working when I bought the game this morning, but now I cannot set my throttle to idle for start up procedures. Even in the training mission, I get to the part where I hit Ralt + Home and nothing happens. I'm stuck on the ground! Please help.
  2. Yes Trackir is just as effective with one screen. It's really awesome, totally changes playing games. For all you on the fence, I'd let you come over and try it out anytime because I know it would convince you to get it. If money is the issue you might check out used Trackir 4's. They're going easy for 50 bucks these days on ebay and stuff. I upgraded to Trackir5 the day it was released and the difference is hardly noticeable, trackir4 runs with trackir5 software and will work just fine for cheap!
  3. I know this probably doesn't help you too much. But to avoid reinstalling to get back to default, you can just make a copy of the files before you edit them. Keep them somewhere safe, and if you screw up, put them back in. If you want to run all three of your monitors as one big widescreen, you can check out this thread http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=55877 As for running one screen as skval, and one as abris, I'm not sure, but would like to learn.
  4. Ok, seems I have it set up nicely now. CombatAce, I'm using Trackir, and that disables the zoom feature unfortunately, otherwise I would have saved some serious time. But if there is anyone else trying to run this game in 5040x1050 without TH2G or keg's software then all you need to do is edit two files. view.lua and options.lua In view you edit below this line -- Camera view angle limits {view angle min, view angle max}. CameraViewAngleLimits = {} CameraViewAngleLimits[PlaneIndex.iSu_27] = {20.0, 425.0} default value is 120, and as you see I have changed mine to 425.0, this is 'zooms out' a little, so your face isn't in the HUD. Then to solve the Trackir problem, you move down the file a little and edit CameraAngleRestriction = {} CameraAngleRestriction[PlaneIndex.iSu_27] = {1,60,0.05} default value here is 1 and I have changed mine to 0.05, this allows you to look all over your cockpit and behind you etc. Finally edit Options as discussed in this thread and edit at the bottom to look like this ["multiMonitorSetup"] = "1camera", ["color"] = "32", ["heatBlr"] = 1, ["scenes"] = "high", ["water"] = 2, ["fullScreen"] = true, ["visibRange"] = "High", ["aspect"] = 3.6, ["textures"] = 2, ["shadows"] = 3, ["effects"] = 3, ["width"] = 5040, ["lights"] = 2, ["height"] = 1050, ["civTraffic"] = 0, ["resolution"] = "5040x1050", ["haze"] = 1, Default aspect for me was 1.6, I changed it to 4.8 but it looked off, so I fiddled around and found 3.6 looks the best, even though it makes no sense mathematically. I'd like to thank everyone who helped and I hope this thread will help others trying to set this up. Python
  5. Well, we're definitely on to something here. I tried those values, but they don't seem to be the ones I need (see screen). With aspect of 4.8 it seems the opposite of the origional problem, now it seems to be squished left to right and stretched up and down. Also, now my face is up on the hud and view in cockpit is limited to control panel, ie, I can't look down at throttle for example. Originally it had my aspect as 1.6, not 1.777 if that matters. However, I'm confident the right value in this field will fix my problems, I just need to figure out what values they are. Thanks for getting me this far, hopefully we can get to the bottom of this. EDIT: forgot to mention, with an aspect of 4.8 everything outside the cockpit looks perfect, it's just in the cockpit my FOV seems limited and smashed up against the hud. I already have view.lua set to 250, tried 350 and it didn't do much of anything, but did make the game stutter a little.
  6. You are correct! I chose 1 monitor. I'm not sure if this was right or not, but with eyefinity, it combines your three monitors into one 5040x1050 display. When I choose 3 monitors it looks like this. I tried messing around with this for awhile, but I'm pretty sure I'm supposed to use one monitor as it is almost perfect that way. Not sure how I think the three monitor setup would be for a configuration where I have skval on left, cockpit center, and radar on right or something. I'm trying to run all monitors as one.
  7. I knew someone would ask for a photo, let me try and get one on here, one moment. Like I said, I'm not sure how to take a screen shot, but it seems I've got it. Thanks for you help everyone. The photo looks a little better than what I actually see ingame, but you can pretty much see what I'm saying, it looks crushed from the top. Every circle looks stretched from left to right. I haven't read anything about editing options.lua, so I'm sure that's what I need to do. At this point I have only changed view.lua from 120 to 200, that's all.
  8. Hey everybody, I've been searching through here trying to figure out the best way to set up my tripple monitors to run with FC2. What I have found is a bunch of threads using TH2G and Kegety's Softsomething. I'm running a new Radeon HD5670 which supports three monitors without third party software. I've got it all setup, works great with a lot of games, but some require config editing. I was wondering if someone could tell me what values need to be edited in what configs to run FC2 in 5040x1050? I've set it up pretty good, and have edited the view.lua and changed values from 120 to 200. But it still doesn't look quite right. It seems to be squished from top to bottom and stretched from left to right. I'd attach a screen, but don't quite know how, so if you would like one, please fill me in on how to do that for you. Also, I've set up my settings ingame to run at res 5040x1050, aspect 16:10 on one monitor. It's playable, but like I said, squished from top to bottom and stretched from left to right. Is there more values in more files that need to be modified? Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks guys.
  9. Hello, I am having an issue with Modman as well. First off, I'm new to this so I'd really appreciate any help. I am running Vista x64 and using modman on Flamming Cliffs 2. I have ModMan and FC2 both installed separately on hard drive- C:/Modman, and C:/LockOn Flaming Cliffs 2. I was under the impression that ModMan took a mod and unzipped it into the proper folders in my FC2 directory? Instead, modman is just unzipping the mod and creating a base folder in my FC2 directory. So I have to figure out where every file goes and manually put it there? Right now modman is simply working as Winzip. I know this can't be right, any help?
  10. Yes, I was using Trackir and cntrl + c worked great, thanks everyone.
  11. I'm trying to do the manual start procedure, and I can't turn any knobs. The manual says I can by "Left mouse click to toggle a switch Left or right mouse click to rotate a rotary dial Rotate the mouse wheel to spin a knob Left click and drag to spin a knob" none of this works, clicking does nothing, and when I rotate my mouse wheel it zooms the view in and out. I am trying to rotate a know that the tutorial tells me too, in the video he rotates it. and while I'm at it, how do I close the cockpit door? Any help?
  12. Also, thanks for everyone's help and contributions to the forum
  13. Ok, let's not get carried away, I got it to work, and in case anyone else has the same problem this is what I did. Read the forums, there's a lot of good posts out there. Then I re-downloaded the stuff, made sure it was in the same folder and restarted my computer. Then I hit the exe and was off and running, that simple. NOTE: the first download was from mirror one for both files, didn't work. The second download was from mirror 3 for both files, restarted, everything worked fine, maybe start there if you're having problems.
  14. I did move them directly to C:, and I have read about the md5 checksum, but don't know what it is or how to do it, can someone explain?
  15. hello everyone, I'm getting a code 2 error when trying to install. I've read the sticky's and have been following the instructions. I have both the setup.exe and data1.cab in the same folder and am running them under administrator since I'm using Vista 64. I have redownloaded them too, since the threads say code 2 means I either don't have one, or they're not in the same place. Well, I have both of them, and they're both in the same place, can anyone help please?
