good luck

[TrackIR]

http://www.edimensional.com/index.php?cPath=24&ref=73

is where I got mine from - use select currency button to change to £ - it ships from uk

my reviews are here

http://www.airwarfare.com/AWX/features/index.htm

and cover from basic tir3 to tir3 + vector expansion to finally tir 4

my advice would be to bite the bullet and go for tir4 as it is worth it

The vector expansion, included in TIR 4 or an addon for TIR3, allows you to lean left and right as well as back/forward and up/down and this will be supported in BOB - it isnt supported in IL2 so you cant lean round posts but the tracking is improved when you use the vector expansion. It is all explained in the reviews or on naturalpoints web site.

[Plane pitching down and left problem....]

Can you try your joystick in another game to test it ?

Does it work ok in microsoft game controllers properties ?

Allternativly your config file might be goosed - this sometimes happens with patches so try calibrating it again in hardware section and setting up your profile again

[A modest film for the Benefit of Sged.]

modesty prevents me from highlighting my most excellent review here

http://www.airwarfare.com/AWX/features/ ... review.htm

chervals guide to setting it all up

http://www.airwarfare.com/guides/tir_setup.htm

I couldnt fly witthout it again - hat or mouse would be horrible

I would recommend either TIR3 +Vector Expansion second hand off e-bay or TIR4 as both track better than older models

Thanks for sharing these mate- look at the number of rivits on the B-17 :shock: imagine the thousands per plane and the thousands built- were they all hand rivetted or did usa have machine rivitting in the production lines ?

BTW- I agree with BG - its an avenger

I have this in pdf format if anyone wants it.

thanks mate -I have this book too and while excellent- I found it a bit like reading a technical manual and a bit dry. Lots of good quotes from fighter pilots tho.

andy bushes articles baisically takes this book and applies it to how sims work

[interesting forum]

I would love to improve but im very short on skill. :oops:

I think your a bit too modest mate

these articles give you the basic building blocks to help you understand combat dynamics and how they appear in a sim and what you should be trying to do in certain situations. Some of his recommendations do not applyas he recommends using external views to aid situational awareness and most of us fly internally and with track ir but the basics are all very useful.

[interesting forum]

http://www.simhq.com/simhq3/sims/boards ... forum;f=10

is a tactics forum - its not used much but intersting info- Andy Bush who IMO has written the definitive articles on sim aerial combat and papa_K contribute. The last thread papa_K posted is how aircraft have developed from WW2 in capability - check out the links - I found them thought provoking.

BTW andy bushs articles are here- http://www.simhq.com/_air/acc_library.html a MUST read for everyone who wants to improve

also check out the "shoot to kill" and "no guts no glory" articles linked there- you should find something useful :idea:
