Hey I found another trick

Postby alrot » Tue Nov 20, 2007 10:19 pm

After struggling with an issue that hangs my system (Its the Vapor of the heatsink Paste) I can't find a good one here, so it hangs sometimes.. :P
well anyway Did you ever push SPACE BAR + Mouse in VC view or exterior view ? I just discover this couple hours ago,

For me, space+mouse makes it ALOT smoother. But it'd be nice if my VC views were working so I could actualy use it.  :P

Wish I had 4 hands:

1 for the stick.
1 for the mouse
1 for the space bar

and

1 for the sign when I do mach 2 within 100 meters of controll tower in the f/18

Yes I have been using space bar and mouse often but it is hard to use when autopilot is off.

Mouse  ;)

Yes, it's a free tack-ir and it works very well. I just hope they'll start selling led-kits etc

Hobby shops quite often sell led kits.  Mainly at those that sell Model railroad stuff, but sometimes the RC car/plane type places do also.  :)

About the leds - you dont necessarily need IR leds, simple ones wiil be OK. By the way, since I'm too lazy to go buy leds I just fixed some old charger wich has a small red light when plugged in. Looks pretty ridiculous, but it's provisional  :)
