Figured I'd bump this rather than starting a new topic... I'd also like to have aileron and elevator trim on my two rotary dials/knobs on my x-52 pro's throttle. Since I don't have TrackIR I need at one HAT for slewing my view around, then I have to juggle my other HATs for TMS, CMS, DMS, Coolie, etc. So just using a HAT for trim is not an option, I really don't like using the keyboard commands, and using those roataries would give me precise control over trim. A friend in my gaming community also is looking for the same thing. Is there ANY way to get it to work?

:megalol: I love the level of fidelity that ED puts into their stuff, but I would have to agree that it would be a waste if they did it for FSX. There's already a ton of aftermarket products for FSX, and some of them at extreme levels of fidelity, I fear ED would be lost in the crowd. :cry:

Thanks to all those that are uploading on the torrent! I will leave mine running once I get it downloaded. I've get a 6M/bit up connection, so hopefully that will help out! I'm surprised, connected to as many people as I am, still only downloading at 4M/bits a second (with a 12M/bit down connection). Oh well. I'll get it eventually. =D (please note I used m/bits in my post not m/bytes. =p)

That's some great insight Avilator! That would never have occured to me, but now that you mention it, it really seems quite obvious.

Was worth the long wait. I love the cinematography in your videos, it feels like a big studio production, and that just makes it all the more awesome. Loved the music too! Another great video from GA!

Alt+Enter is a Windows hotkey to switch applications between windowed mode, and full screen. Some applications choose to disable it, but I believe that it will work with BS. You can also try Ctrl+Esc, or just hitting the Windows Start key (it has a Windows logo on it) to bring up the Start menu, and you can then switch to TS. Alternatively if you have a Logitech G15 keyboard, in TS3 there is a plugin (go to the plugins menu) to enable a display on the small LCD screen that allows you to switch channels, and administrate the server. There is also a plugin for TS2, but it's not official-I've been using it for years and it's wonderful though. I'm not sure if the G19 has one.

It's not really a graphics engine... it's an everything engine. My understanding is it renders, does physics, literally everything. 'Planetary Rendering Engine.' It's also still in Alpha. Though what they have achieved in two years is pretty cool. The problem with Linux people is that they expect most of their stuff for free... and to be open source. There are some, like me, that are willing to pay for good programs, especially to support the developers and to say, 'hey guys! there's a market here!'. Not really sure about Mac though. I agree though. The scalability of the engine ED uses is amazing (it's an in-house engine, correct?)! What we are seeing in DCS:BS is also 2 years old, hopefully we will see some great improvements to the terrain textures in A10C. And even if we don't, it will be hidden by their grass... hey, maybe that's why they did that! :unsure: But anywyas, Outerra looks, pardon my language, ****ing amazing. And reading through their dev blogs the stuff that they are doing with it is incredible! I'm really excited for what it is going to bring to the table, and can't wait to get my hands on their demo. I look forward to any games that will be on it.

Wooh! Get to do some reading tonight! =D

This this this. Someone from another thread suggested hover-taxiing around the airfield. That helps a lot. I consider myself a decent pilot for this thing, and that helped me with minute meanuvers at low speeds, so try that out.

I always forget to check simhq. Thanks for the reminder, and good article. Love the screenshots. =O

Haha. It's soo dumb, and so ridiculous that it's hilarious. :megalol: @WindWeapon: That's awesome! @shu77 Nice demotivator. :D

It's not that it doesn't run well on a quad core, it just doesn't utilize all of the cores. It doesn't really matter what core you're running it on afaik. Run it on one that isn't being used by the system constantly? Personally, I went for a quad core because of some of the other games that I play that need it to run smoothly, and it works fine for DCSBS. (Phenom II X4 945 @ 3.0GHz)

I'll reserve my judgement for later... It could be awesome, it could blow. I'm really confused because they shut down their game studio... So all I can think of are: A) It's being outsourced, which would suck. B) It's for the 360... which would suck even more. Either way, I hope they stick with it being a sim... going the arcade route would just fail so hard.

Not too mention it's lightyears ahead of DX. PLUS it's an open standard. :D

I must say sir, you must have the wrong video card. With my Phenom II X4 945 @ 3.0ghz, 4 GB 1600Mhz DDR3 RAM, and a 5770, I notice an INCREASE in FPS in many games. Flight simulator is one (well that's from DX9 to DX10), Bad Company 2 (I average 30-40 fps in DX9, and 50-60 FPS in DX11), DiRT 2 (Again, average of 40-45 in DX9, 50-60 in DX11)
