Yes i can understand what your saying. Its just frustrating that the tracked vehicle is at full throttle forward and you take your finger of the key for a spilt second a depress again straight away, then all of a sudden the vehicle jurks to a studden holt and slowly starts creeping forward again. Not to worry ill just setup up my x52 trottle to suit. Now if im talking about the same gunners view as you, i do have another query regarding the situation awareness indicator (bottem RHS) that keeps track of your turret in relation of your hull. Thats in the zoomed view if i remember. Sorry if im totally off track here. Anywho, am i right to assume that the hull is facing its current bearing and that 000 is at the top of the indicator? I might be just me again but im finding it very difficult follow and dertermine wether the turret is aligned with the hull, more so when moving. I would prefer to see the hull sit stationary (facing 000) and the indicators rotate around the hull. And even have the image of the hull slightly bigger. Cheers Chris

Being still only new to this sim and of late have had limited time to be able to get the most out of it. First thing i noticed is i'm struggling to get my head around the way the throttle has been implemented. Now as the manual states, by holding the throttle down for a few seconds, the vehicle gains max throttle. It also mentions that the vehicle shouldnt be constantly on full throttle. Now what i find very annoying is that once you release the forward key the power|speed starts to die off and then when you again hit the forward key, im expecting it to either keep the power|speed maintained or to again increase power|speed of the vehicle (thats the defintion of throttling i thought), but what it actually does is kill all power|speed that you had and starts you from nil power. So now you have to biuld it up again. Now correct me if im wrong but i believe that the constant stopping(from full or mid power to zero) and starting agian would be more damaging then having the throttle to full constantly. Just seems a little silly to me. Also is there a keyboard control list that came with the sim or has someone created one yet? Cheers Chris

Thanks Mate.

Hello, Regarding this post IMPORTANT: DEMO vs. RETAIL ACCOUNTS Could i please get my demo account name swaped with my retail account name i created today. Demo Account: cjlive Retail Account: chrisjones Best Regards, Chris

Seems that i also get the "server not responding" message. I get it everytime i finally load the level. I can see both bots and human players in the list, but im just unable to communicate or deply. I don't see any action happening at all. I had no such problems when i first ran the game after the inital install. Cheers Chris [ March 18, 2006, 03:28 AM: Message edited by: Chris Jones ]
