Central Position Trimmer Mode in 1.0.2, Questions ?

Hi guys,

===================================

Question #1:

 

If not putting the Ka-50 files in Computer\C:\Programs(X86)\Eagle Dynamics\

 

where do the gurus here suggest to stash the Eagle Dynamics\Ka-50 files tree?

 

Off that same Eagle Dynamics tree is also my LockOn Flaming Cliffs 2 folder from the LockOn Platinum, 2 disk set, I purchased to Best Buy for $20 in February 2011 that started this (enter appropriate cuss word of choice) addiction.

 

If not in C:\

 

but in Games, how do you do it?

 

I have an extra hard drive installed, Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit that is my (G) drive . {That is funny, (G, colon gets a smily face (G:)}

 

I have been running DCS: A-10C out of the Computer\C:\Programs\Eagle Dynamics folder since February. It works in 64 bit mode. Maybe it would work better if I moved it, too?

 

===================================

Question #2:

 

So, in Black Shark version 1.0.2 , full simulation Real mode, in OPTIONS, within GAMEPLAY, do I put a check in the box (or not) in the Central Position Trimmer Mode?

I have no desire to play with code and change things, unless absolutely necessary, and directed to do so, exactly, by the gurus, instructing me how to do it.

 

Thanks

I have my sims placed quite nicely:

 

C:\Games\DCSBS

C:\Games\DCS A-10C Warthog

C:\Games\FC2

 

Essentially, if it's a game, it ends up in C:\Games. ;)

You don't need to have an Eagle Dynamics ahead of it. In my opinion that just complicates things and I feel I have my games more organised by just having a Games folder and all games get dumped right in there. Not sure what you mean by "but in Games, how do you do it?" It's just about where you tell the installer to place the files on install. You can tell it to place them practically anywhere you like. (Though... I wouldn't recommend placing it in C:\Windows :P )

 

As for central position trimmer mode... Do whatever you like. If you like the Central Position mode, tick the box. If you don't like it, leave it blank. If you are using an FFB stick, just open the Producer.cfg file in notepad, change the word "true" to "false", then save the file.

Hi,

 

That is what I wanted to know.

 

I still do not understand the Trimmer checkbox. I have researched it here to forums and within the manuals. I suppose within time, and experimentation, I will get it.

 

This post does not link, concerning the 2nd post:

But now I have a new term to play with to search for: "new trimmer implementation"

 

Looked up what the acronym RTFM means. I don't think "F" means "fine" as to the Google definition. LOL

 

I started with the Internet and a Dell Intel Pentium 4 machine in XP in 2004. I started immediately to see what made the thing tick, under the covers within the Windows software and inside the case as to mods I created for it. I got me a big thick book on how the XP Registry works.

 

I'm still a dummy. I know a heck of a lot more now than I did in 2004. I got into online gaming in the flight sims in 2007. And I scratch built my current machine last year. I think I am in the 1% bracket or maybe it is even less than that of the total owners worldwide that have ever taken their machines apart. In 7 years of doing my PC stuff, I've never had it to a repair shop. I always figure it out, usually by using the various forums, or a couple real IT type guys I know to pick brains.

 

But, I am still a dummy compared to most of you guys that are on these forums acting as gurus or are gurus. Some of you guys date back to the mainframes, punched cards, and time-share, I bet.

 

I don't think I even qualify as a typical computer nerd! Though I now do have a computer boneyard of various PC hardware of leftovers and I sit in an office like environment with hardly elbow room to move as to all the PC peripherals acquired over the years. My Dell still works and is Internet friendly, but ever so slowly as it ages, but it is my backup when I'm doing mods or fixup.

 

Thank you.
