Thanks for the update and hard work HTC, I know you're all working hard to get the bugs worked out right this moment.

That said, the way some of you ladies are acting, it's like you found a bug in your soup.

Garson to table #14.

Just a curious question: Wouldn't having steering in GVs tied to the A and D keys rather than an analog axis mean your steering is either all or nothing?

What was it like historically?

analogue ...

That's for all tanks?  So at the very least, "analogue" throttle and I/O track brakes?  Or did all of our tanks have "analogue" brakes too?

[RTHolmes]

some like tiger had a wheel, others just an accelerator and differential brakes. all analogue

I guess you said it well..  $15 a month or not, why am I paying to be a test monkey?  Wouldn't have put it that way, but fits.

Wow.  Do you guys have nothing else to worry about in your lives???  HTC is not using us for test beds, lighten up a wee bit.  Hopefully you now know HTC is obviously watching and is fixing things as needed.  Relax a bit.  Unbelievable!

Didn't they?

Set one hat switch as Accelerate, decelerate, turn left and turn right. This lets me drive the vehicle with my left thum on one of the hat switches on my throttle. I then work the gun with teh Flight stick.

If you do that, and press, say, up and to the right, will AH recognize both inputs at the same time - i.e., will it accelerate and turn right? IIRC it recognizes extra hat switches as 4-way rather than 8-way, but will it recognize the diagonal directions as multiple inputs?

All-in-all I like the new system for GVs, there are just some bugs to work out.

I feel I have the right to say this is the worst patch ever, because since the patch, I haven't been able to get the game to load AT ALL!! 

I have tried all the so called "fixes", but to no avail. In my 6 years of playing this game, I have never had this problem before. So, this IS officially the worst patch EVER!!  lol

Yes it will accelerate and turn left if you pull move the hat swtch diagonally. Also for what ever reason, maybe Patch 1, but my TrackIR worked from teh Commander position again. So I could look around without hte gun moving and then move the gun with the joystick. System is fine. I too would prefered if they ADDED steering and acceleration and braking to the pedals as an option, but driving the tank with one hat switch is easy peasy. 

Got in the Panther yesterday and love the new site and how it worked. I don't know if the c,v funtion (elevation change) is assignable through the game interface, but I can map it because I have a programable hat switch, so that was also a piece of cake.

I like it. Great job.
