I have been experimenting with my own phantom server and was having problems getting it to work. The aircraft were flying into the ground and were not flying the same as the track. The problem was being caused by having a joystick plugged into the phantom computer. Once I removed the joystick the pr...

With every step forward 10 more to go

Great shots Gunner! Thank you to all the VTBs that let me fly and lend me a hand though the learning process (Bunner, Striker, LD, Red, Bon and company) and cared to enough to critique (thanx LD). That was painful and fun. I'm developing new wrist muscles. Also, thank you Gunner, you have been an in...

Thank you

LD,

I tried so many things that I forget but I did have the green button. My profile was about 3 weeks old so I'll try the new one. I did get the VTB001 file missing error. Thank you, I think the new one will take care of it.!

Re: A follow up on looking and trimming

1)Does the Boss fly without trimming (Cougar) engaged Both yes and no. More depending on preference and technique than as a rule. Bon likes to fly trimmed, but he also uses the NXT mod which is very "forgiving" for leading with trim engaged. What is the NXT mod. Only used by Boss? 2)When executing ...

Do you de-activate trimming just prior to it? 3)After solos fly by each other how do they re-establish visual, Padlock? Wh...

Show Center Definitions

Thank you Lawdart, I have read thought the manual a few times. When it says show center L,R or behind is that where the formation comes from or a fictitious center set at a certain place left right or behind the center? Also, is the crowd seating to look North?. Sorry for the ignorant question. Also...

Re: Newbie Question: Flaps , Trim, Profile, Padlock

Hi Lawndart, We use a preset value via Foxy to engage trim. Essentially altering the Y-axis centerpoint with the click of a button on the Cougar. Download the Cougar profile from our site and try it out. I don't have time right now to go into detail how it works, but we stay completely away from the...

Wonderful to Hear...

Hi Bon, Thank you for the hospitality. I'll definitely take you up on that. Which ventrilo channell should I monitor, Open Tryout? Also, which Hyperlobby game or server do you use. Pardon my ignorance, I'm just trying to learn many things at once. I got the impression that non-team members would not...

Thank you Lawndart!

Lawndart, There it is. That is the explanation I was looking for. Also, I'm going to get some DVDs and try to make sense of the manual on the site. I am saying that I'll try in '07 because I have seen you videos and I know the amount of practice it'll take for me feel that I'm ready to try. I don't ...

Is is to give the right L/D or enough drag? Haven't read the reason for it, just that it's done. What does ...
