RE: Landing and Air Refueling Please Help!!! I apologize for the annoyance
I can land blindfolded and drunk, hell sometimes I even come in at a bad attitude just to make it a little more challenging. But AAR? No way! I connected once or twice back in the Allied Force days, but never long enough to take much fuel. I thought TrackIR was going to solve that for me…nope! I am the PIO king!

RE: Did the f-16 carry th e aim-7 in the gulf war?
In fact theres a warning about that specifically in the manual, because of those accidental AIM-9 releases!
The warning being, pickle and hold to ensure you get a valid release, suggested technique of nose through the horizon before releasing the pickle, and ensure pickle is released before changing mastermode, because changing into A-A mastermode with the pickle still held will result in AIM-9 release.
IIRC, this was in the Vipers in the Storm book.

RE: 4.35 U3 Rants, feedback, comments
I’m still waiting for the regular download.
I don’t keep a torrent program on my 'puter.
I still have a crap graphics card, always have to fly in clear skies, so I probably won’t ever see the cloud issues.

RE: Landing and Air Refueling Please Help!!! I apologize for the annoyance
@jayb
Good suggestion, thanks. I have a button assigned on my throttle to freeze the track IR.In the many years before TrackIR, I always used the Trim hat for view panning, and never developed the habit of actually using trim. Same with rudder, I’ve never had pedals so I basically learned to “fly” without rudder. I have a couple buttons assigned to left/right rudder, no axes, I tap them as needed for takeoffs and landings, otherwise no rudder.

RE: Welcome to our new home!
@tumbler31 said in Welcome to our new home!:
@buzzkill you can change the style in your settings. And (mobile?) forum has dark theme toggle
Okay, I found the “pagination” button…is that a real word? lol…but anyway that’s a huge improvement already. I’ll see what I can do about the general appearance. Thanks.
But more generally, I haven’t logged on in a month or so, what’s the “big surprise” or whatever? Something happened in the last day or so? And why is the forum asking to access my desktop notifications?
ETA: I tried a couple different skins, couldn’t see any difference. I guess it’s either all-white or all-black.

RE: Welcome to our new home!
Ouch. Harsh bright white, smart phone people are destroying all the websites for a desktop boomer like me. Well I found the Releases section, that’s all I really check in here for.

RE: Anyone losing mouse functionality in 4.34?
This happens occasionally.
Mouse cursor doesn’t move but there and Alt+3 doesn’t work.
Clicking mouse many times sometimes solves it.I’ll try that too if Alt+3 doesn’t work. From what I recall, I didn’t have a mouse cursor at all.

RE: Anyone losing mouse functionality in 4.34?
Next time this happens try ALT + 3 which is mouse buttons toggle to see if it brings it back.
Thanks, I’ll try to remember that next time. It doesn’t happen often.

Anyone losing mouse functionality in 4.34?
Seems to happen after landing sometimes. I think I first noticed it in 4.34, but it just happened again last night in U3. The mouse crosshair disappears so I can’t click on anything. Exit to UI and the mouse works as normal. I guess I’ve only seen it in Moving Mud, but that’s mostly what I’ve been flying, so it may not be limited to that.
Sorry if this has been covered, I didn’t even try to search.
