i'm in...

I understand your focus on online squads, but.....any chance for some of these new missions of the high quality you have given before for us offline/single-player types...? just hoping...... and thank you for the mission pack while i am here typing.......

Very nice....more pics?

Thank you.

I liked this mission very much....Bob is tough. Problem tho....I forgot to backup my original instant action mission.....anyone know where I can download that again? I know, it was a dumb mistake.....

I thought that under Windows Vista [or 7] that multiple cores were utilized. This was why I was planning on a new i7 computer......

Thanks for the suggestions. I knew this was a ground attack sim but was thinking the air-to-air mode was more help than it turns out to be. I hadn't tried anticipating his flight path....that works a bit better for me than trying to slew to catch up, etc. I am a bad shot when trying to aim the cannon in manual mode........

Ummm.....is there a secret to locking on air targets? Flying along at altitude, enroute, and I come across a bandit.....I find it nearly impossible to lockon or get guns on target. Is this just the way it is, or am I missing something?:helpsmilie::book::mad:

"Limit" set on options screen in TrackIR?

I *MAY* have something that could help someone else like it helped me....I didn't notice this info anywhere else but I am just learning the sim and my way around this forum after lurking here for several weeks...... Among the many, many, many problems I have had in learning this sim has been the poor and/or over responsiveness of my X52. Trim just seemed to make it crash faster and it was not predictable how far the stick needed pushed one time to trim it as opposed to the next to get the same result. ...something wrong..... ....axis tune showed cyclic y off center and very jittery.....cyclic axis x centered but "slewed" at an angle instead of a straight line when pushed (if that makes any sense). Basically, i think my calibration was off and I couldn't find any way to fix it besides deadzones, saturation, positive s-curves, etc etc.....i even tried the DX Tweak and a logitech calibration tool found on this forum deep down there somewhere.....this is a NEW X52....shouldn't be this way, i thought. I haven't had to *calibrate* a joystick since windows 95 and the FIRST Jane's Apache sim..... anyways..... a google search determines this post on "Flyaway" forum at http://flyawaysimulation.com/postlite25404-.html ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Your problem is your registry. I had this problem and it took some time to figure it wasn't anything I could have fixed easily. The following is an excerpt from a Saitek email. In some cases, the calibration for the controller may be off. This may be an issue with a corrupted initial calibration of the controller. The following instructions involve changes to the Windows Registry. The registry is a very sensitive part of Windows and removing or editing the wrong value can cause a multitude of problems. See about making a backup of the registry before proceeding. In case you screw up! Do the following at your own risk! But this worked for me and within ten minutes my x52 was working. click Start, and Run. Type in "regedit". - click on the plus sign next to " HKEY_LOCAL_machine" - click on the plus sign next to "System" - click on the plus sign next to "Current ControlSet" - click on the plus sign next to "Control" - click on the plus sign next to "MediaProperties" - click on the plus sign next to "Privateproperties" - click on the plus sign next to "DirectInput" - Look for keys starting with VID_06A3 and delete them. - Close the registry editor by clicking on Registry at the top then click exit. - Reboot your machine. -Recalibrate the controller by twisting the joystick, then rotate it around several times. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It worked for ME!! All my deadzones are centered, no jittery axis anywhere, completely centered and normally responsive and trim is a WONDERFUL THING now....no wonder everyone here is so happy........it was like trying to fly the helicopter drunk, i think....now i can finally get down to learning stuff.

AGH! i can't BELIEVE it took me literally 2 days to figure this out and then i got it in like 2 seconds after getting home from work tonight.....i fixed BOTH issues.... ...i had been going back and forth using ALT-TAB between SST and DCS control assigments without closing and saving.......once i did this all assignments are recognized. i can't believe i did this....i feel kinda dumb after all the high intensity flight training i've been (trying) to do....jeesh.

thank you for trying to help. i actually removed all assignments in SST and tried it 3 times as "unprogrammed" then "fallback" then "button - do nothing" and neither the wheel nor the wheel button are recognized by the DCS mapping screen. then i tried to keep them as default scroll functions then re-assign the scroll function within DCS and still no recognition. as far as the gun select...it is a mystery to me...i will continue to look into this. again, thanks.

I've spent hours searching but can't find the solutions, please advise: 1. BS won't recognize the wheel on the throttle or wheel button on X52. 2. I select gun, fire gun then gun is deselected....must be reselected again to fire again....feature or issue or me?

Thanks! This is just what I was looking for and found at just the right time.

thank you

thanks
