I intend turning up for this one - I wanted to be on tonight, but my wife had other ideas... ;) Anyway, is there the risk that too many people come along? Is there a limit to the number of players, or is this limited by the server? (and therefore the mentioned risk of too many people :) ). I don't know if my 3.5MB/s connection would be sufficient to host - but if so, I'd be willing to do so on a future occasion. I guess that then it's groups of 4 pilots per flight? JD

Shame I missed it - but I am working hard to get up to spec with the weaponry (no point just coming along as a 5th wheel...) and will jump on as soon as I feel confident enough to last more than the 2 minutes in my first combat mission. :cry: I've a lot going on at the moment and not enough hours in a day. JD

I never thought of it that way :doh: JD

Yeah - they are a good bunch - you can play on their server, but they are currently not accepting BS 'recruits' - only FC ones (Frog & 33). JD

Well, I had a test go on your TS3 server - all working well :) I'll look in as I can over the weekend/eves (i.e. when I get permission! :P ) JD

Changing the TrackIR keys is fine, but it means changing them in all my other SST joystick profiles, too (I use a joystick hat axis mapped to the TrackIR keys to control it, with the other axis mapped for zooming). Okay - 15-20 minutes work, I guess.

Very old - but very valid (in the tactics section). Written for the original Gunship sim, but excellent for training purposes: CLICKY Be sure to check the 'Air to Air Tactics' combat section! JD

I am interested in coming along, but my knowledge is pretty basic at the moment. I've been concentrating on flying and basic use of ABRIS since I got BS a couple of weeks ago, whilst working my way through the not insubstantial manual. :cry: If the Shkval works pretty much the same as in FC, then I just have to learn the new keys (or set up an SST profile). JD

Eddie, do you know if it's possible to have both TS2 and TS3 installed in Windows? JD

Thanks for all the responses - I was feeling a bit stupid after the first reply (check my c/s! :huh: ) and wasn't coming back. Anyway - Ed, thanks for that, I didn't know the key would be highlighted in the control options. I think I'll either use Scroll Lock (if I don't have it mapped in FRAPS - have to check) or those Numpad keys. I should have thought of that - in FSX I also unassign all the view keys. :doh: Cheers guys :) JD c/s Bustard

Never mind. Bye sorry - Viper, didn't see your answer - aren't those used in-game, too?

Because there are so many keys for BS, and being a rookie, I have no idea whether stuff is used or not and wanted to hear if anyone had a neat solution other than simply "Duh - remap it" To what? Thanks. JD

Hi all despite being an FC vet, I'm a BS recruit and am getting frustrated about the F12 key being assigned to the comms menu. I never used the comms menu in FC - I flew as a lone wolf, for once, and didn't need it - I don't find it very realistic, would have been much, much better using voice recognition, as it is so good these days (a la FSX add-ons). I digress - now that I'm gonna really need that comms menu, I am struggling to find an efficient way of assigning either the TrackIR centre function, or the comms menu exit function, in a way that keeps both simple to use in relation to the other controls. I would like to hear if anyone has any neat solutions, other than simply 'uh, map it to something else'! What, exactly? I usually have as much as possible (including TrackIR controls) mapped to my X52 via SST. I'm amazed that ED/DCS assigned F12 to something in-game, when also enabling TrackIR use. At least the Mission Editor is so much more user friendly now - at least for the simple ones :) TiA JD c/s "Bustard"

I just made my first... :smartass: after 3-odd years of flying other people's JD c/s Bustard
