GV hell on earth. Listen up HTC.

Rite now i keep the clip board up but that takes space.
I've tried to disable it = does not .

make the clip board as small as you can.

The text buffer, the one you type in, will also get rid of mouse look.

After all, you have only two (for auto trans) "buttons" governing the stop and go functions in your car, right? I mean, do you ever find yourself wanting to do something silly and useless like anything *other* than mashing the gas pedal to the floor, or mashing the brake pedal to the floor? Does a range of two possible inputs  - ON or OFF, STOP or GO - cover all your braking and accelerating needs? Or do you maybe once in a while find yourself wanting to apply a *little* brake or a *little* gas rather than locking the wheels or taking off like a bat out of hell?

wait a sec, wasn't the old method all or nothing anyway? the only choices at different speeds were picking a different gear. the throttle itself was either open or closed. with the w and s you can select any speed in between.

Precisely. 

If you chose 3rd gear, you'd accelerate to the top speed in that gear.  If you wanted to slow down, you'd have to drop into 2nd and then you'd be travelling at the top speed for that gear.  Now, you can stop accelerating anywhere between gears and drive whatever speed you want.  Much more realistic and better.

 I been working on using the new controls in the off line arena. I found that in the German tanks you can use neutral steer to turn the hole tank toward your target about as fast as you can turn your turret. (just like a real tank) This keeps your thickest armor toward you enemy and for me it is faster. I am starting to like the new system.

Nonsense. You didn't have to shift gears to slow down, you just pulled back on the stick a little (or a lot, if you wanted to stop faster). You could downshift or not depending on your intentions.

You're talking about setting a cruise speed, which is something different.

Also, you're still focused on debating whether the new system or the old system is better, which is not the point. Just because the new system is better overall doesn't mean every single aspect of it is necessarily better, or that it couldn't be made a little *more* better (is there a grammatically correct way to say that?) with a few minor changes. So "the new system is better" addresses nothing, aside from the small minority who've been demanding that it be changed back (which was never going to happen anyway).

However, I'll wait and see what the new-new system looks like before making further judgments in that regard.

One thing I liked about the older system was the ability to drop to a specific gear where the gun was more stable than at full speed. You can still do that but it is a little more difficult not actually being able to see that it is in 2nd gear for instance. I would say the benefits of the new system outweigh the fact that it is up to the user to adjust to changes... by a long shot.

When and if HTC puts rudder pedal control from the cupola I will be satisfied altogether.

Yep, you're riight; I mis-spoke.  Teaches me to surf on my Droid during boring staff meetings.
