Racing Configuration Tips

First, an explanation on how CM Eye mode works. CM Eye is as if you were a spirit of some sort in the game. There are no limits to your movement except you cannot go below ground. You can twist, hover, roll, and fly. You use three settings, "Forward," "Back," and "Map." Forward and Back will move your seeing spot toward and away from the point you're looking at, respectively. Map is an oddball one where you are looking straight down upon the map and can move only along two axis, left/right and up/down in relation to the screen.

The whole thing is controlled by your joystick. Your stick controls your movement as if it were a plane; pitch, yaw, roll. The throttle controls your speed of movement as well.

Open your joystick mapping settings with Options>Controls>Map Controllers.

Click the button on your joystick twice quickly that you want to become Forward. Select "View" and "CM Eye Move Forward." Apply the setting.

<Quoted Image Removed>

This is the simplest form and will give you enough to work with that you can move and get a feel for the system. Repeat the above steps for the other two options, if you wish.

To actually use the CM Eye, hit F5 in the tower. If you end up looking at the tower as if it were a farther out F3 view, the CM Eye has been disabled for the arena you're in. If you get a funky view from the center of the runway, you can now use your joystick and the Forward button to move through space.

WOW!!!

well i know good internet can help a lot because with that many people taking off at once it lags a lot

and tracking IR would work very well also

another is mounting a General Electric Gatling Gun (like on the blackhawks) in the nose of your RV-8

I have my flight stick mapped up to the point of setting an available key on my keypad to enable mode 3. I am having some problems finding the command on the map keys list to enable mode 3. Where do I look to find the command setting to assign to an a vailable key. Any help on this would be really appreciated

You will have to set up CM-Eye for it to work, here's how.
There are a few ways of course but it is easier to set up
a 'Mode 3' and use your joystick buttons and throttle.
1) Go into Options > Controls > Map Controlers
2) Open the Mode Selection menu, select 'Mode 3'
3) Hit the 'Copy Mode 1' button
4) Select Button 0, set to 'View CM Eye Move Forward'
5) Select Button 1, set to 'View CM Eye Move Backward'
6) Select Button 2, set to 'View CM Eye Move Map'(optional)
7) Go to 'Map Keys', Global, Mode 3 select and set an available key to select Mode 3.
    I personally set it to the * on the keypad.

Kaz,

This is a great explanation and description to learning new tracks.  Thank you for your contributions to this community. I know I appreciate it, and so does the rest of the racing league.

Ok guys need some feedback.
its time for a new joystick my x52 has had a stray input for a long time that i have learned to work with.but time for a new one
  Soooo   what do u like /dislike  and why
iv allways like the x52 have been useing the twist rudder
help me out here if you can so i dont endup with junk.
       thx

I used a twisty for years and years, then got  a Thrustmaster Top Gun Afterburner II.
It has a detachable throttle with a big rocker that I use for the rudders and 4 more buttons to go with the 4 on the stick.
It took me awhile to get used to it, but now I love it. I have been abusing it for maybe 4 plus years now and it is still pretty tight. The bad news is, I was at the Thrustmaster site awhile back and it appears that this unit is no longer made.
If I ever need to replace it I will be looking at CH Stick and Pedals. Seems that is a good combination, from what I am hearing.
All depends on your preferences and credit card limit, I suppose.
Good luck in your hunt. Let us know what you end up with.
