Agreed. That was looking promising. Back to Mk I .....where is that pencil...

I've wanted very much to keep this device on the right side of the stick (the left is in the way) using the stick preload adjustment but I just can't make it work. I can't get a good balance of stick forces in flight and trim forces to balance out. The selection of elastic material is critical. The plain ole elastic band works best putting the slightest left pressure on a mechanically centered stick. I may even go back to version 1 (flat bar and pencil) to save space. Simply some metal bent into an "|____" and slid under the stick with an appropriately sized elastic band, possibly a spacer or two is something anyone could cobble together. Insert pencil for Hurricane ops. This would be the simplest form, usually the most elegant solution to all problems and still Windows 10 compatible.

Considering half the programming software included with controllers doesn't work this might be the answer.

Yes Swep, the wheel does work in CLoD(and it has a pitch wheel too- and throttle) and everything else too, it's mechanical. Works a little too well. The smallest input there is too much and you gently go into a left bank instead of right. It does work to preload the stick left with the wheel then use the trim device to level. Really though, I wasn't so much thinking of myself as those who complained about the heavy wing. Most folks don't have the same stick and I wanted to see how easy it is to work around the shortcomings of the game. Version 1 with the elastic and pencil works pretty well. I like to tinker with stuff like this so the MKII version was a natural progression. The real credit goes to some forgotten Russian who first thought to put a bungee cord, or more likely some landing gear shock cord on his I-16 as an elevator trim device, where I first got the idea. And for the rest of you .. I'll work on a rear view mirror attachment, something we could really use.

Blame AP but I'm having fun with this now. This thing is just loaded with features: Coarse setter (not to be confused with course setter) - Large adjustments to accommodate different sticks. Tension cut-out (not to be confused with boost cut out) - Emergency release 24 thread pitch control (not to be confused with prop pitch control) -Tension fine tuning. It's made with simulation grade hardware using period correct production standards (cobbled together from bits lying about the repair bay, all weld splatter, flash, scale, burrs, sharp edges, overspray, underspray, and grease left for that "front line operational squadron" feel). Extensively tested and endorsed by an actual simulated pilot. Versatile, works for elevator or aileron trim on many different aircraft in all flight sims. Windows 10 compatible Invulnerable to enemy fire. Light weight, won't adversely affect the performance of your aircraft.

We all know the heavy wing on the Hurri can get tiresome. APHill was mentioning he was looking for a fix so I got to thinking ...... My first test of the forces required was laughably simple yet so remarkably effective I'm going to use it. It's nothing but some metal strapping bent to a |_____| shape, slid under the stick and an elastic band. A pencil is used here for a spacer to adjust tension. NOTE: Remove pencil for Spitfire sortie. I'm going to put jack screw where the pencil is for fine tuning but it works pretty well as is.

My original CH pedals had a short circuit to the USB plug somewhere . All sorts of strange stuff going on with USB things.

Rocket stoves have been the cutting edge in heating of late but mostly in the DIY/experimental realm. It was only a matter of time before someone manufactured something for sale. http://www.rocketheater.com/

Hey Swep. There is a little mission you can load into CloD called "contact spotting" to help you sort out your settings to see how far away you can see enemy planes. As soon as the mission loads you pause the game and then look for contacts. There are 16 planes, each 1km farther away than the last. http://theairtacticalassaultgroup.com/forum/showthread.php?t=13915 Aside from the NVIDIA settings where I can see the first 9 or 10 adjusting the gamma gives me a couple more but makes the scenery a bit darker.

So we've joined, had the DD tag registered. Sundays and Tuesdays, 9:30 EST start, 2 hrs run time. During the practice phase no death penalties but that will change. Not many Reds flying as yet, plenty of room.

Any Dogz want to join in? I dunno if we should declare for a side or join as filler.

Eagerly awaiting...... this should be going live soon, possibly . Used to run NA times Sunday and Tuesdays To register http://forum.ghostskies.com/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=3451 @GK - TUSA is flying Allied this round and we need to register sometime soon

Guilty as charged ......

I can see substituting pound (£) for # (called the pound key on a phone) but is a substitute for "number" (#1, #2 ) but how does " translate to @?

Some disgruntled folks over there................ All, The Storm of War server will finish on Sunday 24th. With the mission timings I can't guarantee the actual time, but it will either be before Midnight or after on Monday morning. At this point I do not know what will happen after this time. The server may return with some changes or it may not. This decision has not been taken lightly, but quite frankly Phil, Dietrich and I have been placed in impossible positions, abused, and mithered by questions and nitpicking too many times. We have bent over backwards and compromised on our vision too often and it still hasn't been enough. There are arguments and unhappiness across the two teams at a variety of issues and both sides accusing the other of gaming the system. Better to stop now while we are all still almost friends than wait for the inevitable blow up. Thanks to everyone who has flown on SoW over the past months and years.

For anyone who has touched an electric fence......... Hilarious Swep, thanks.

I don't know if anyone is familiar with the DARPA robotics challenge but this is remarkable performance for a "robot". Most are done and broken if they fall over.....

There are a bunch of videos on all that the info windows can do for you, how to set them up . Take your pic https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=cliffs+of+dover+game+info+windows

One day last week I was getting very slow loading times plus it would not connect to Dogz America at all. Just hang at 100%- task manager shut down and "launcher not responding". I shut down everything, did a cold boot. - a bit better but still no Dogz. I think Steam has a lot to do with these kinds of problems. There is a program that optimizes internet connections. TCPOptimizer I looked and it's nothing bad, it will tell you what changes it will make - you can revert back to before any changes were made if you save the config.

Water cooler.....computer porn!!

This is at the airport just down the road from me.

lol no, nothing like that. Looked more like a 50 mile long Spear of Destiny from Sheerness to the south.

Thanks for that. I'm still on 361 but I remember GK and I both had a visual a few days ago, long black line suggesting something server generated.
