thomasj Posted June 6, 2000 Share Posted June 6, 2000 First before the question I would like to say (HI!) to everyone, being new on the Forums, and give a HUGE thanks for BTS for their time and effort. Will there be mouse scroll wheel support for the game? Would really be great, especially for when you are going through the elevation views!

thomasj Posted June 8, 2000 Author Share Posted June 8, 2000 Is this a bad question? I searched the forum before posting it and found nothing pertaining to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TargetDrone Posted June 8, 2000 Share Posted June 8, 2000 no, i guess the question isn't bad, i would also like to know it, as i have to jettison the rat i have used up to now i guess, the reason why nobody responded is that nobody knows... ------------------ TargetDrone who has a heart for smilies and will defend their rights .... even if the cost is bloody....

TargetDrone Posted June 8, 2000 Share Posted June 8, 2000 uhm well.. im aiming for one of the microsoft optical mice... several reasons... 1. I hate microsoft, and if i get angry when playing, i always bash my mouse... 2. My logitech mouse always gets dirty, and then it doesnt move correctly... 3. im a lefty... and logitech mice are always designed for righthanders i guess So, i guess it will be a mircosoft mouse... ------------------ TargetDrone who has a heart for smilies and will defend their rights .... even if the cost is bloody....

thomasj Posted June 8, 2000 Author Share Posted June 8, 2000 Blackhorse, I was with the 1st AD in Germany for 9 years, but called it quits and became a GS civilian. Now I'm in the Netherlands. Primary field of work now is Systems Administration. You name it, I have to support mostly. I take it that you were with the 11th ACR that was in the GAP eh? Had a few friends that were in the 11th, before, during and after the excursion into the sandbox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably know some of your friends. Feel free to drop names at any time. We had a great civilian who ran our Education Center. His name is Jim Wolfe. If you ever run across him (he's still in USAREUR) be sure to hook up with him. He shares you wargaming hobby, and he has the greatest collection of a British Colonial miniature Army you'll ever see. We had awesome OPDs with him. It sounds like you got the best of both worlds in your job. You get to work in USAREUR and you get to stay close to the military. Allons, Chris P.S.

Kurtz Posted June 8, 2000 Share Posted June 8, 2000 The scroll wheel moves the cursor to the top or bottom of the screen and the view moves "forwards" or "backwards". But it isn´t working well on my system. TargetDrone: the Logitech mouse I use is symmetric and is equally useless for left and righthanded. I can´t spell! The Horror! The Horror!!!

TargetDrone Posted June 8, 2000 Share Posted June 8, 2000 well, kurtz, my main reason isnt the fact that im a lefty... the reasons are ordered by their importance... the really important one first, the less last... ------------------ TargetDrone who has a heart for smilies and will defend their rights .... even if the cost is bloody....

Guest MantaRay Posted June 8, 2000 Share Posted June 8, 2000 I have the Intellimouse Explorer and it went unused for about 5 months. I found it uncomfortable, but after I forced myself to use it, I love it now. The 2 extra buttons come in handy in a lot of games.

Bob Mercer<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> I was with the Old Ironsides from 90-98 active duty wise and 98-99 GS side. I can tell you that Divarty is now located in Baumholder Germany on the "Rock" and have a few of thier BN's located in Geissen, and Freiburg. Lots have changed in the 1AD. Almost all the units have been reflagged, for example 3-12 and 4-12 INF have reflagged to 1-6 and 2-6 INF. You know have that I know of, 4-29FA,4-27FA, then there are serveral MLRS BN's that have moved in. Can email sometime for more indepth info. Brain just went on leave of absence on me.

Out of the few I know there is a guy that was a motor SGT for the 11th Frank Davis. He is now a GS also and working down in Bad Kreuznach. Which BTW 1AD HQ is also relocating soon but are staying in the USAREUR theater of Germany. Stange times with this (*%$%##()_! draw down and more sensitive army . I guess history will repeat itself again hopefully sometime from now DA will realize that we are too small again and build back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
