You can adjust sensitivity/deadzone in the game options menu. It's actually the only thing you need to handle in the game. Just go to Axis Setting tab and you will find out how to map axis and set them up.


Oh, one more thing: F12, which is usually a default keystroke for TIR reset.



Yeah, I did that at first, but then don't I have to do that in a profile for every aircraft?

And I resent my track IR functions to ctrl+num1, num2, num3 since a lot of games use F12, etc...

Is FC2 free? I see a link to Download it but it doesn't have anything indicating it's a paid add-on and I thought it was like 30 bucks.

Just like all ED files, you can download them without having to buy. However, you can't fly without the product key.

Yes, I see that now.
However it is problematic, FC keeps wanting to reboot for Starforce every time I start it, like it's running for the first time. Not sure I want to waste any money on it if it's going to go wonky in Win 7.

Did you patch Starforce for Win 7?

There was a few there. Thanks.

How is the multiplayer community for FC2? I might give that a try later... Certainly would help with the lack of SP missions...


With any games I have played online it has it's peak times. Click the mulitplayer icon and give it a go, try different times.

Remember to run as admin or disable UAC.

How to update protection drivers?

With so many various hardware components and software for personal computers, the StarForce specialists improve protection drivers constantly and make them compatible with newly released programs and operating systems.

If you have problems in launching a protected application, driver update can solve the problem in some cases, as well as it can improve interaction between the protected application and drivers in programs from other vendors.

The following should be done to update drivers:

Download the zip-archive of the SFUPDATE utility.

Unpack the archive and save the sfdrvup.exe file to some folder on a hard disk.

Run sfdrvup.exe.

Follow the displayed instructions
