Interesting. You'd think a Suwhiner would be overjoyed over the increased radar modes and options that 1.1 has brought.

The besmerchment in this thread is unbelievable.

lastest Free Falcon install (could be with the Cobra .exe though, I forget) lets you define multiple controllers to multiple axis

I fly with an X-45 and the nice thing is that you can redefine the rocker on the throttle to different things once you have the peddals. Right now I've banded it and use it to deploy and retract airbrakes.

It's exactly what I do. Just under the axis define menu sould the the wheel. Select it, then assign the peddals to the rudder axis.

And what do you think probably takes the most time to model correctly in a jet sim? I have a hard time understanding people when they say that that the SU-25T isn't a new aircraft. The model in the game and cockpit are based on things already built, but they created a brand new flight model and avionics for the jet. The 2 things that take the most time to make.

why would they? It would be hell to pay on the forums if the deal fell through and didn't happen. Everyone would be posting how they promised that a cd version would have been available. Yes they are learning from the download. This is the first time they have been involved in the distribution/selling side of their sim products. A worldwide distribution model isn't something you cook up over night. They are making mistakes, but learning from them. We want sims, but large production houses like Ubi, EA, Activision, etc do not want to sell them. The market is falling apart and small dev houses like ED are trying to step up and find new ways of making and selling sims. There are going to be bumps. From this ED is learning and hopefully the rollout for 1.2 is that much smoother and LOMAC 2 or whatever their next project is will build on it. We will also see how the distribution of other startups like Thunderworks and Fighter Ops works out. You probably will not be able to buy those off of the shelf in a store either. They are self-produced and online distribution is the way they will go as well.

The didn't think of it because they didn't have a distributer for the CD. My understanding is that NaturalPoint stepped up after 1.1 was released or close to release. I'd would have loved to have seen the forum if 1.1 was delayed another 2 weeks as NaturalPoint talked to them about possibly releasing 1.1 on CD, which only has been finalized, what, this week?

I love car vs software analogies :icon_roll

Well you are buying it for the wrong reasons. It isn't a patch, it's an addon. Not their fault that you don't like the SU-25T.

This thread is perfect proof that we are our own worst enemies in the flight sim hobby. I hope that Thunderworks and Fighter Ops put out great sims and look forward to flying them. I hope TK makes Project 2, etc. Why must people flame others for trying to bring more to our hobby?

I believe on SimHQ a NaturalPoint person said SF will be included, but not the activation scheme version, but the disk in drive version.

bit of language barrier, not really sure what you are trying to explain, but could it be jamming and false returns on your scope?

waiting for a answer to the activation/reinstall issue. May end up buying Naturalpoint CD if it proves to be less hassle.

you're mocking the fact that people offer workarounds for a sucky situation and I'm commenting on it. Deal with it.

Why are you slamming people for offering workarounds for an issue that is real? We all hope and expect ED will look into this problem and find a solution, but until then the reality is the issue and the work-arounds for it. Cheap shots will not change that or make the situation any better. Or does it make you feel better?

Others have also have gotten replies that state that ED will take it as a case by case decision and work it out with the person. Also concider that english is probably not the native tongue of the person that may have authored the message and the intent maybe different from what it looks like.

MCE is XP Pro SP2 with the media center front end built in so ti should be fine.

by cracked do you mean there is a reg key floating around, or has the warez crowd completely removed SF from the game? Or is the .exe cracked for the Russian version, meaning a no-cd hack? If it's a key, then my understanding is that once it starts getting multiple users, the SF server will shut down that key. For the no-cd hack, people still need their reg key, so a warez version will only work for a few people before the key is blocked.

I have no problem with StarForce or copy protection in general. My only concern is the seemingly flawed release of the downloadable version with StarForce activations being used for regular installs, which is not how ED or StarForce communicated it would be. I hope it gets cleared up, but until then I'm holding off purchasing the DL content. If that means I can get a CD before then, then that's the route I"m going.

agreed. ED has dropped the ball here, but I still hope that things work out as I enjoy sims and at least ED is trying to find ways to bring them to the market. My opinion is still forming as I will see how they handle these issues, I just understand that it will not be fixed overnight.

My bad. Brain must be going with old age. :icon_redf

or people work with ED through the frustration and get things fixed. No need to go support criminal behaviour and make the problem larger. I've yet to see ED show a lack of support for any of their products.

because the search function on Ubi boards has never worked?

That's unfair, how is a software company supposed to predict future OS compatabilities? There is going to a lot more issues than this one when XP64/Longhorn comes out, just like there is with every new OS release. Just like there was when the switch from the Win95 core to the NT core in XP. Lots of games had issues. People don't complain that it's Janes'/EA's fault because JF/A-18 doesn't work under XP perfectly.
