Thanks KV, this is great info for a newbie like me. I couldn't see anything in tracking view before because I had the jets magnified :oops: Learning from watching ACMIs might be a skill in itself, everything flows so fluidly, soemtimes it can be hard to see where a decision's been made, why, and wha...

Thanks KV, that's exactly what I needed!

Would you not recommend watching in satellite view? I havn't watched many ACMIs but when I've tried in tracking view it's really hard to see the far jet....

No!

Hey Alex, I've got an exam Friday, so I'm busy up till then. The weekend might be ok, but I don't know yet. I'll contact you Friday or Saturday. Do you have ICQ? Most people here have. I don't have an msn account. I use an IM program called Miranda IM, it does msn and icq together at the same time, ...

Hey Striker,

I'm a student, with an exam this Friday, so before then's out. Hopefully I can fly this weekend, but I'm not sure, I might not be able to fly before the Race ends...

I'll let you know one way or the other as soon as I can.

Hi Renegade,

The weekend is a possibility, but I can't confirn yet, sorry. Before that's no good, I have an exam Friday.

I'll get back to you ASAP....

Is there any way we can get a heap of ACMIs together in the one place, for newbies (and others) to look at?

I'd really love to be able to watch ACMIs from the top 5 or 10 pilots on the ladder.

Sending an ICQ msg now.

Hey JoeKidd,

Got my SF problem fixed, sending you an email.

Deadmeat

Confirmed. Thanks Mav.

Ok, all fixed! It was just the admin account business. Ran SF from the admin account and everything worked as it should. So for anyone who comes across this in the future: using the 'Run As...' to run SF as admin isn't enough. You must run from the admin account. Cheers Nap for all the help. Appreci...

Really?

I'll try it.

No I don't. I usually run the computer from a normal user's account, and that's where I play AF from.

But when I run SF I always "run as.." the admin (because SF doesn't like being run from the standard account, I get strange error boxes if I try).

Could it make a difference?

Yep, LAN games are fine, I only have the problem with internet games. I ran a LAN game a few minutes before I tried another failed internet game test with Nap yesterday, and I tried a LAN game just now, both were fine. A couple of thing in my last post might not actually be correct: I said it only h...

Curiouser and curiouser... I've updated DirectX and my joystick drivers. Tested with the stick in my old desktop linked to the laptop I usually use in a LAN, everything worked fine. Plugged the stick back into the laptop and tried a another LAN game, everything worked fine! Tried another internet ga...
