Just downloaded Falcon 4.34. In the setup menu the autopilot settings have been removed. I like to run my system with combat autopilot to benchmark the system. Is there a way to re enable auto pilot settings so that I can do this?

RE: 3d cockpit view centre
Temporarily lean your head forward then reset TrackIR [fF12] and then sit back to your normal position.

RE: Unstable frame rate performance with GTX 980 SC
I can actually detect better smoothness of joystick control and TrackIR with high fps. Is this psychological or real?

Unstable frame rate performance with GTX 980 SC
Has anyone seen this problem? I just recently purchased a GTX 980 SC from EVGA. With a fairly clean installation in instant action I am able to see frame rates between 150 to 300 FPS. Within a few days these can drop to as low as 60 frames per second. Does anyone see this bizarre behavior? I am using Windows 7 64-bit.
The same behaviors were seen on my previous card GTX 770 SC from EVGA. The only way to remedy this is to restore a backup of my operating system. However in a few days it goes back to this poor performance. I have been suffering with this problem for three or four years and have tried numerous things to no avail.
Also I find that if I’m running BMS and use the Windows key to drop out of the desktop. When I returned back to flight the frame rate will instantly have climbed by 20% to as much as 50%. What accounts for this?
Please help…

Perhaps A novel Warthog profile Using the T.A.R.G.E.T. Software?
My setup uses:
2 cougar MFD’s
Warthog Throttle and Stick
track IRI’m building a warthog profile and have most of the basic functionality done. The joystick functions are faithful with the BMS mappings.
What’s novel about my profile is that the four identification LEDs on the cougars light on:
MFD 1 L flicker to indicate throttle position and lights solid for afterburner,
MFD 1 R lights to indicate that air brake is out and turns off when the air brake is commanded to closeMFD 2 L flickers to indicate that any button has been pushed
MFD 2 R lights to indicate that the shift button (TG1) is being held downThe five LEDs on the throttle light up in synchronization with the position of the throttle with LED five indicating afterburner as well.
There are many shift functions assigned to the cougar buttons to control frequently used commands.
Besides this functionality PS toggle switch on the throttle controls three viewing modes.
PSF HUD only view (when you need a close-up on that gun kill)
PSM virtual cockpit view (for TrackIR users)
PSB 2-D cockpit view (uses the trim to look around the cockpit and the world)Here are the core files for my setup. By opening and running the “Lawrence Falcon BMS.fcf” you’ll be able to understand how I programmed the lights for all the functions.
You will also see how the trim hat functions to allow some of the more important views, such as target, weapon target, incoming weapon, orbit and flyby that are good for situational awareness. The forward trim hat switch serves to go back to the front view as well as calibrate the track IR (F12)
The DMS up and down also has programmed onto it turning on and off “labels”.
I used the first trigger switch as my shift since in the game it’s not really used for anything else. This primarily enables the shifted functions on the Cougar MFD’s. These are illustrated in the the file “Lawrence Falcon BMS Cougar Template.pdf”
I tried to program pure direct X button calls for all the stick commands, so that the responsiveness of button presses would be crisp. In order to do this I updated a few of the keyboard commands in Falcon BMS through the “Setup\Controllers” option.
Included the custom mapping file. “Thrustmaster and Saitek Custom.key”. This should reside in the “Falcon BMS 4.32\User\Config” directory. It can then be loaded this through the “Setup\Controllers\Load” option.
Anyway that’s the gist of it. Let me know what you think and if you come up with some other great ideas or a slick set up it would be great to try what you come up with.
Cheers!
