Rgr thanks. As it worked for you I've just been back in and found it was failing when I had TrackIR running, so now I've changed the key bindings in that and it should work. Thanks.

yes, that got me too when I first got TrackIR, wondered why I couldnt hit F7
Yeah, I'm most interested in the ME-262. It'll probably be 3 years before we see it at this rate though...

The Fw-190 was actually late by 2 days, the whole schedule must be messed up now.

3 years doesn't sound terribly exaggerated at this stage, considering this fiasco (don't see how anyone can argue that, considering the change of management, goals in terms of finances and time, decreased awards, etc.) of a WW2 project that was supposed to enter Alpha in February, and have the modules out to the backers by September, and be finished by October. This year. Sure, some delays could've been anticipated, as this sim never seems to get anything out until months after scheduled release, but this thing will undoubtedly take very much longer than was first claimed.
ED getting the FW-190 released just a few days late is definitely a welcome, but I doubt it is an indication of a new trend of releasing things on schedule.
I'd agree with you except for the WW2 stuff inherited. Can't really be expected to hold to somebody else's original schedule. IIRC they did outline how they expect that project to pan out after inheriting it. Might be in Silver Dragons thread somewhere.
Might be more informative and in perspective if we make it clear that "so far" is since RRG handed over the project, and since then ED has released a single module. That positively doesn't indicate that ED's gotten their act together on holding their deadlines.
Just flew my first flight in the F-86 tonight (after spending a couple minutes deleting all the extra axis assignments - why does ED do that?).. Wow..what a plane. I have no idea what I'm doing, but it sure is gorgeous.
Try out the radar gunsight, it's amazing! Bombing isn't bad either, though only manual bombing works right now as caging doesn't work when the sight is set to bomb mode. It's still very accurate for being dumb bombs, and rather forgiving to be honest. You can also try LABS just for the heck of it.
Or just enjoy the incredible speed. Most of my crashes are from over speeding it, just flying level. If ED does something about the über-AI, dogfighting the MiG-15s might actually make it more enjoyable on a long term basis, beyond just the enjoyment of learning the plane.

Yep, I started first flights on the Sabre and the Dora today. Took some time off work especially. Wife horrified.
I may be considered a bit of sad sack, but I tend to treat it like any RL type familiarization. I'll do cold starts, check-out flights, some touch and gos, just ignore weapons or combat and simply *bathe* in the complexity.
