I think I'll learn better from goons anyway, the tutorials are still kind of buggy at times and I don't remember 90% of it when I'm done.

On startup if you can't get mission data to upload, you're starting the CDU systems before getting the engines running first. It's critical to do it in order, otherwise you won't be able to upload any mission data. The tutorial fails to mention this and I think it has you doing it in the wrong order, unless they changed it in the new beta. This video kind of helps if you want to SEE someone going through the startup process: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSIGzDMJ-ik

Yeah, the tutorials seemed to be very finicky about everything and was easily breakable last I tried going through one.Dominoes posted:Quote this if you'd like to play A-10 multiplayer with me.

Are you guys flying on VATSIM this weekend, or maybe even tonight? I think I'm finally ready for my first flight there and would love to join the flightsim goons on the next VFR trip

So the event is at 0000z-0400z which means I won't be there. But we can fly somewhere else and ruin their day.

If there's one useful thing flight simming has taught me, its time zone conversion.

gently caress, I wish SF2 still had multiplayer (or that the one from Strike Fighters wasn't severely broken). The Strike Fighters series really are the Il-2 (ie semi-serious survey sim) of the early jet age. I'd kill for some gooning around in MiG-21s and F-104s.

Hey FSX guys, should I get Real Environment Xtreme HD, VFR Real Scenery, or Ultimate Terrain X? EDIT: Went with Real Environment Xtreme. Will post a trip report in a bit. Jefferoo fucked around with this message at Jan 29, 2011 around 11:43 |

REX is good for the sky visuals, but you want Active Sky Evolution for the weather ENGINE. I use UTX for ground scenery. EDIT: IL-2 question. Is the Steam version compatible with the goon shenanigans? Colonial Air Force fucked around with this message at Jan 29, 2011 around 12:47 |

Steam version is certainly compatible, or I wouldn't be having all this goon fun. Getting UTX now. Is there a way to set Mouselook to default in FSX? It's a real pain in the rear end going between my keyboard, joystick, and SPACE+MOUSE, I hate using the hat switch on my Logitech Extreme compared to the mouselook I've grown so fond of in IL-2 and Strike Fighters 2.

If you go to your key mappings and look at toggle mouse look, I think it's mapped to space by default. You'll notice that it is mapped twice (in the control mapping dialog it looks like "space" and then "space^"). This is because it's mapped to turn on when you press the key down, and turn off when you release the key. Try unmapping both of these and then re-mapping space to just toggle mouse look. Then you can hit space to turn it on and it will stay on until you press space again.
