OverDhill

Well after a total uninstall/reinstall of TS and TSOverlay I finally have it working in IL2 1946. It doesn't seem to be working in CLOD. I noticed there is a Teamspeak setting in the Info box window but it doesn't seem to do anything either. Being a newbie around here I would love to see who is speaking. It will take awhile before I recognition your voices. Does anyone have TS Overlay working while in CLOD TF 4.0? Well I came across this... will test it

Hey I appreciate the hands on training. This is what makes this squad one of the best.

I finally finished my trim control box. I have 8 new analog axes to play around with. For the newer sims like CLOD using them will be no problem. for Il2 1946 I decided to use PPJoy as IL-2 will only use 4 controllers and BU0836X card was not one of the top 4 on the device ID list. Well neither was PPJoy but after a little searching I came across this. http://wiki.mechlivinglegends.net/index.php?title=PPJoy_for_using_multiple_joysticks#Joystick_ID_issues That fixed it so now I can use a lot of those axes with no problems. I have some other knobs on order but they are taking forever to get here. As a side note... I finally was able to get my Logitech WingMan Formula Force GP Wheel to work under Windows 7 64x by using a specific driver (persistence pays off). As a result I also got a fringe benefit for IL2 as it serves as my 'rumble' for IL-2 and CLOD. It sits off to the side and is clamped down to my pit when not being used for racing sims. When the force feedback is present it will shake the entire stand. LOL

Is there any way to increase the rumble or force feedback in IL-2 1946?

And Toad what other color would you be? LOL

I tried SweetFX on CLOD today and not sure if it is working. Either it is not or the toggle key doesn't work. I am running Win7 64x and even tried the beta 64 bit DLL's Anyone have a settings file they would like to share?

So who is playing COD? Is it worth getting or just wait for BoS?

I need an invite to the Steam Group. I am overdhill on Steam as well. Thanks

Very nice Snacko

Here is the final setup (is anything ever final?). It is using UPD Speed for the gauges and Helios for the controls and Pittools keysender and receiver for the key sends between the computers. Seeing as how IL-2 doesn't have discreet on/off functions for buttons some of the toggles can get out of sync. I am looking into creating a momentary toggle switch to handle those. I am sure as I use it some other needed changes will make themselves apparent. One this I did for UDP Speed is to actually run a script that copies all them from one folder to another and then run it. The reason being is that UDP Speed will automatically save positions. This way they will always go back where I wanted them to be each time it is started.

Well I finally got my IL-2 pit complete (well as complete as I want at the moment). All the Helios control binds have been checked over and IL2 and the rest of the software has all been updated and imaged.

Been busy with a hard drive failure (not on my game system) and some other real world stuff. Also pretty much done with my IL-2 Helios skin so hopefully I will get time to jump on

Everything sits in one folder so just copy the entire folder and rename it. I have like 4 copies on my harddrive including a base stock version. and the last HFSX 7 one

Maybe a dumb question but can this be used with HSFX 7 or has it been incorporated into it? http://www.mission4today.com/index.php?name=Downloads3&file=details&id=1328

Looking good

Lets post some pictures!

Those are the ones I have on order. So they will be here on Tuesday is the snow doesn't slow them down. We are getting hit pretty hard here in Michigan. I also have some 100K linear slide pots with a center detent and LED light on order. Still have to decide which way to go. Will probably place mixture and radiator on the panel as well as any other axis that will not fit on Warthog HOTAS.

Hey Jabo did you use 1 or 10 turn pots in your trim box? If 1 turn how is the sensitivity on them? I saw some 3 turn ones on Amazon but they are out of stock.

Now that I am getting back into this (going to be a long winter this year) I was wondering what if any maps or campaigns I need to add for online play with DD? I saw the Dogfight Hosting Maps and HSFX-Ready-Coops dowloads in the vault so it got me wondering. If so is there a tutorial on where and how to install them? Thanks

Well when you have a 24" touchscreen virtual cockpit in front of you then sometimes you don't need one on the big screen This is not an up to date IL-2 Helios skin I am working on but its close

Been finalizing my HOTAS binds and this is what I have so far for buttons and such. As you can see I have a lot of spares left.

Ok I did get to see the caution lights panel working. I wonder why Gadroc did not include the CDU since it was included in FC2 (at least the later version). Oh well.... maybe Helios 2.0 will have it when ever that comes about.

Got to love that Sabertooth MB
