LOL It's like DA came out of a time capsule recently.

Yeah DA, the cooperative link between Black Shark and LOMAC 2.0 has been out for a while and it's a lot of fun. Jedi Master and I have played a couple of missions that used planes from both sims.

[daofcmacg]

Your right Panzer, I've been locked up in a time capsule. Dealing with house issues and other things, I just forgot how to have fun. The real big thing is I became an instant father to a teenager (I have a daughter in Virginia that I finally got in touch with who is 17 going on 45). That has been a strain and a half.

I pre-ordered it and downloading now. Again when does this SIMM come out?

The playable version right now is on beta 2. No one knows when the full official update will be out.

Heads up DA, DCS A-10 has a bit of a learning curve.

DA is former Navy right? He should have no problem learning the sim quickly with his smarts.

[daofcmacg]

Smarts???? What's that!?! Only thing I know is plane go boom when it takeoff and go crash when it lands!!!!!! LoL!!!!

[Nemisis]

Should be fun getting you back OL with this DA and DCS A-10 is also being touted as OL playable with Blackshark and Flaming Cliffs 2 so that will be 3 games online compatible. We can have Choppers, A-10s and F15s all flown by us on the same mission by three Sims. now that would be an excellent Co-Op oppertunity.

Really!

Well I bought Flaming Cliffs 2, it was on 20 bucks and it came with the original Lock-On. Right now I can't figure out why the Hotas input is over sensitive and none of the plane's I choose will hold str8 and level even when I add pressure to the Hotas. I installed the update and I will see what that does.

DA

[Nemisis]

DA try adusting the Axis input curves in the control panel so that initial flight control inputs are less "dramatic" and you will find that programming the trim controls to your Hotas in Lomacand Flaming Cliffs 2 is a good idea as all the planes flight paths rise and fall with speed variances and to keep level flight needs constant adjust ment unless your speed is stable.

[daofcmacg]

WoW! That is interesting, I've put in alot of hours flying flight sims and I never encountered that, I guess they were bound to get it right at some point. OK so how do you adjust trim controls in Flaming Cliffs 2, I found nothing that even suggested that option. I did program my HOTAS from Windows 7 like I've done everytime I disconnect and reconnect it. WoW! you actually have to trim your aircraft for level flight now in sims COOL!!!!

DA

[Nemisis]

I'll assume you are being slightly sarcastic DA as IL2 also has trim controls that need adjusting during flight and i know you've flown that!

[PanzerMeyer]

Sigh.

LMAO!!

[daofcmacg]

Yeah the prop pitch and such but never the yoke. I never gave it much thought or effort until now.

DA

[daofcmacg]

OK is it me or I just need some serious help with my ThrustmasterII. I ven bought a cheap ass logitech all in one joystick and I still couldn't get that to work in this game. I need some advice help hell is there a profile for the thrustmaster in game for DCS A-10?
