  1. http://www.stage6.com/?lang=en&cid=stage6mfolder_en Well crap.... this was my favorite video site too. Does anyone know of any other sites that has high quality videos like Stage6? Edit: Nevermind, I found a couple that look promising.
  2. I ran across this site the other day. X52 users might find it useful. http://www.crider.com/x52_main.shtml
  3. Try it with the sensitivity set to 0%. I find that Logitech sticks requires a soft touch to get them to work smoothly.
  4. First thing you need to do is produce or acquire a wiring diagram for the handles before you can do anything else. One note about potentiometers... make sure you get a linear taper pot and not an audio taper one. It will affect how the stick movement is translated into the sim and you won't get the desired results with audio pots.
  5. I once read that if you ask designers to create a tank simulator without any compromises, they would end up designing the tank itself. The art of simulation design is about understanding limited fidelity. Even in multimillion-dollar simulators, compromises must be made. Designers have to consider cost vs. fidelity and processor time vs. fidelity. Additional trade-offs must be made between graphics, AI, algorithms, number of units and more. The basic rule in building a tank simulator is to never ask the operator what he wants because he too will end up building a real tank. Instead, ask the operator what he needs to learn.
  6. What are those things attached near the front of the tracks? Edit: Here is a pic of the backside
  7. I believe it's been like that since SB1.... the AI can see through ground clutter (rocks included), irregardless of its size or density but like GH_Lieste pointed out, trees should block LOS.
  8. Allright.... there's a new skin file section named "OPFOR" for the vismods. I don't know how many vismods you guys have uploaded already, but if you could please point them out to Kingtiger... he'll get them all sorted for you.
  9. http://www.dfrc.nasa.gov/gallery/Movie/X-31/index.html Check out the Mongoose Manuever
  10. It's probably the one not shooting TOWs at you
  11. Here's the link: http://home.pacbell.net/lonny007/SteelBeasts.html
  12. It's still a valid question because who hasn't made a few gopher holes with a short HEAT round when first starting out? Just like it's probably a safe assumption that he will find the palm switch confusing when he jumps into his first Leo2. Bullseye... Listen for the loader to say, "SABOT/HEAT UP!" and then push the appropriate ammo index key. If you do this as a part of your routine every time, you most likely wont make this mistake again.

    Try turning off vSync in the game options

    I was thinking that it might be your firewall but it doesn't get that far... the CodeMeter is not talking back to the computer at all. If tech support gives you an explanation of what "WB0201" means, can you post it here? I'm curious.

    Have you tried turning off UAC/DEP?
  16. Wait, I changed my mind.... it IS strange. I hope you haven't been checking out any models of the Hindenburg. (Just messing with you :biggrin:)
  17. I guess that's not so strange to take the Titanic to bed with you since she would down on you the first time you take her out
  18. I'm sure Xenu will send along a DC-8 any minute now....
  19. And it only took you 4 months to get around to it :biggrin: (Jest messing with you)
  20. 63 links on the left and 64 links on the right. PM me your email address and I'll send them over. Torsion bar suspension is an ingenious design (Porsche IIRC). Extremely strong and compact... perfect for AFVs.
  21. Think backwards... The picture implies from the idler to first road wheel on each side has the same number of links and the same deal from last road wheel to the sprocket on each side... don't you think that is impossible? There must be a difference somewhere
  22. I believe most if not all tracked vehicles with torsion bar suspension have asymmetric wheels and tracks... here's a pic that illustrates why:
