Not minimized 4.1 build 37, the latest version available as far as I see from your web site Using a TIR3 with Vector Expansion

There was a time that best buy soaked up alot of my expendible cash. It seemed like there was a new game a month to buy, maybe two. These days, Best Buy can't get me to spend a dime. Either the content sucks or I am too picky.... and I am not that picky.

It is in a motherboard port. The problem only exists in DCS BS. I can flip-flop in LOMAC all I want (yes, much crash-burn-restart there, too) and the same problem does not manifest itself. FSX and IL2 are fine as well. As I said, it is always as a result of leaving the 3D world and then re entering it. That process seems more brutal on the system in Black Shark than any other game (longest load times of all programs mentioned) If it matters... Intel Q9550 (3.5 GHz, 8.5x412 overclock) Gigabyte EP45-UDP3 2x2GB Corsair Dominator 5-5-5-15 Zotac GTX 275 AMP! (703Mhz factory overclocked) Win7Pro

Now that my thread has been totally derailed.... I think the engine used by Black Shark would make for a stellar Tornado sim.

Topol, There is a paridigm shift underway and its evidenced by IL-2 Birds of Prey. By PC standards a fairly weak title. By platform standards its awesom. Yes, we love our PC's, but there are 10 console monkeys for every one of us. If I were a software developer, I'd be making console titles. As I said, the PC will loose access to AAA mainstream titles. As long as there is a market, there will be PC games but the content will become more specialized and less frequently released. ED is a good example.... but then again, who ever thought 1C would go over to console.

Nope... it's not an F9 issue. The application is dead. When I get out to desk top, the TIR box is black and the top application bar says TrackIR (not responding).

Fred, Nobody is being insulted (unless you are one of the picky ones). It's a legitemate question about the attitudes of game players world wide. Seeing as I can't read Russian, this is the best place to ask the question... general discussion.

I keep telling my friends that the console will replace the PC entirely for mainstream gaming within 2-3 years. When the next platforms come out, there will be no more AAA titles for PC. The money is too easy on platforms. This is just more proof.

I remember the days of wailing and moaning about Russian equipment dominating simulations like Flanker, Flanker 2. Then along came Lock On that tickled the American player with the A10 and F15. Then came Black Shark and the grumbling started again (never mind that it's a great sim). Now, with the prospect of a highly modeled piece of American equipment looming over us, the vernable A-10, I wonder how well it is being received buy our Russian counterparts. Comments.

TrackIR isn't dying during a game. It periodically dies (not responding) between sessions after I have to abort or get killed (usually the latter) . Crash, burn, restart, works... Crash, burn, restart, works... Crash, burn restart, works... Crash, burn, restart, doesn't work. I have to exit BS completely and restart TIR. Ideas?

core affinity The search function of the forum keeps returning database errors so I am left with having to ask a question that has probably been answered... With the advent of the latest patch, is DCSMAX even necessary anymore for realising and benifiting from multi core systems running W7Pro/64? Thanks in advance!

Nope... I started to read up about the inverters and came acorss something interesting on the... throttles. When I installed BS and mapped all my controls I put the throttle control to the wheel on my joystick. That was all fine and dandy until I knocked the wheel from its initial position and took the throttle out of... AUTO position. This was causing a fault within the electrical system thus causing my problem. Doh!

Pulled view all the way back so I can see all the indicator panels. Inverter lamps are flickering on and off. once they go, HUD ASI is gone and the video screen starts going on and off with the inverter lights. The simple mission I made DOES NOT have failures checked. Going to play some other canned missions (wanted to keep it simple as I learn). I'll just avoid fire zones and see what happens. Might be my created mission that is the problem.

Fuerfalke... It's not a result of a mode change. It just does it. I can be sitting in a quiet hover (hands off everything) just reading how to utilize some system and the next thing I know it's all over the place. I'm thinking ice. Will report back on tonights results.

Temp unknown, issue is random, can temp be random? No damage, this can occur immediately on entering the 3D world, after a few seconds or minutes into a flight. I did turn on pitot heat in my last run but given the random nature of the event... who knows if it helped. I'll keep a closer eye on temps next time.

So I am having a good night in the game... but suddenly everything goes all wrong. Control is near impossible, trim is useless, hover is impossible. Restart... same thing... over and over and over and over. Then all is well again. Here is what I noticed... loss of airspeed indication on HUD (never looked at the AS needle, sorry). This loss of indication coincides with loss of any automated control and trim. I'd take off, airspeed would be there on the HUD, then disappear. Or, maybe it wouldnt even be there at all when starting the mission. Bug? Am I screwing something up? I've searched but there are only so many threads I can look thru before I give up and ask.

Anyone who has been playing flight sims for any amount of time is FULLY aware of how often games and OS's get reinstalled (Falcon dance, anyone?). Heck, LOMAC has been on and off my PC more times than I can remember. No malicious intent, no carelessnes, just my desire to rebuild my PC from time to time. Every two or three months I just nuke my drive and start from scratch. Too many experiments with drivers and other apps starts to plug up my disk and the process count starts climbing toward 50 because everyone thinks I want their crap and installed it without asking. It's time for an hour of effort to just install XP clean and fresh. I might chew up my activations in a year or so. Then what? Don't dictate to me how I should operate my PC either. I've been accused in the past by other software publishers of being up to no good... but when you beta test MS flight sim software, it's not uncommon to scrap an entire install to resolve a problem.
