I'll admit I was one of those guys who criticized HTC last week but as you can see they are really trying to work on issues that people are having. All I have to say to HTC is that you guys have my 15 a month for the rest of the year.

I gotta agree. New patches are great and the HTC boys put alot into it. So much more user friendly with text boxes. Although the blasted newbies are making arty way points with me Cv's:furious .
All round good job and a step forward in the world of flight sims. All the griefers should look ahead and not back.

Not so sure I agree.
Last week I finally got stick & keymaps back to where they were before this mess. Logged in yest afternoon & got the new patch. Then got busy & had to walk away before I had a chance to check things.
Logged in last night to Fri night Squad ops, and the bloody game asked me if I wanted to convert my stick map, AGAIN. NO dammit!
Get the word and hit the runway & I have no throttle. Hmmm np shift + and I'm rolling. Thats when I realise I also have no joystick. Moving the stick moves my head position around the cockpit.
This in a one life event where I can't afford to prang it.
WTF is up with this? Since when to patch's erase stick & keyboard maps?
I'm seriously unhappy with this crap that I'm >< close to calling HT and chucking the whole works.
Ohh and all this is on a SIMPLE Ms Sidewinder prec 2 usb.
8 buttons no fuss no muss.
HTC you may have made the high end stick users happy. But you sure ticked me off to do it. And by the sound of it I'm not the only one.

Hear Hear!!! Well stated Lynx

Ghosth, its a long shot, but have you checked your stick file in the settings folder?
You should have a file in there for your stick (mine shows up as saitekX45).
Make sure it is not checked as read only.
I for one, would sure hate to lose you. It would leave a big hole in AH.
cheers,
RTR

WOAH! Aint the Ghosth I know :huh

All credit to sorting out the major bugs quickly.
Luckily enough I only had to remap throttle on my MS PP2.
Both the changes I questioned have been redone -
1) Mouse button
2) Primary/secondary weapons toggle.
So a big well done on that.
But surely there's some question on why it was released with exactly the same or similar bugs that were found during the beta test period.
Add to that there are still bugs floating around since AH1 (gear up mission bug), is the bug count going down or slowly rising?

:aok htc no complaints here;)

WOW,Ghosth!!!
I find this type of behavior from you unacceptable.You need to step away from the keyboard and reconsider what your saying.

Regardless of how lousy the gameplay is, how many bugs come along with a given patch, they'll always have my subcription. AH was always there when there was too much dam snow out my back door to do anything better or too much rain coming down to risk drowning in my own back yard. Which seems to be the norm here lately.
Besides, the crapy game play brought about by the countless stupid people AH gets, isn't HTC's fault, its gods.

he had an opinion and he expressed it, what's so unacceptable about that? A lot of people were Irrate when they had to fix their joysticks for each patch. I hope that isn't going to be an ongoing thing.

When the game asked me if I wanted to convert my stick settings, I said yes.
Worked fine except for whatever I had mapped two functions to( i.e. flaps and shifting gears in a gv for example).
-
you should have checked your settings b4 your were waiting on the runway ghost ... especially after the first patch messed up some sticks so badly ...
my first sortie after 2.08 had me lmao when I dove into a furball only to find out my trigger had been disabled ... guess I should have stomped my feet, threw a hissy fit and ran here to post another crying the jstick blues thread .. LOL
life's too short to cry and whine about every little issue that comes along

I have also lost the ability to use my MSFF USB stick, as designed, but it still works less the FF and centering stuff. I am confident that HTC will do everything they can to resolve the issue. I have been flying AH since Sept 1999 and they have consistantly proven to me that they do listen and care. Sometimes things have to be sacrificed all in the name of improving game play.
I do NOT agree with every business decision, like when we lost the night, but it was a major decision and heated discussion topic for a very long time. Since Microsoft no longer offers the device and probably won't support it, we MSFF PP owners are S.O.L, as far as Microsoft is concerned. I still have my very first MS Force Feed stick, analog, that I got for Air Warrior 3 in 1997.
I also have a complete CH USB set to back me up that I have yet to set up because it is NOT Force Feedback. Looks like I might as well get ready to install them and start getting used to that learning curve.
I look back and thank Dale (HiTech) and his vision, his tolerance and support for us players and making this the best flight sim online. I am confident this is just a bump in the road and the pothole crew will be patching it, as always.
Salute HTC

And who are you? :rolleyes:
Ghosth put serious time in the TA helping countless nubs get their sticks right. If he's venting, theres gotta be something wrong. Hope you figure it out.

Actually guys I think I'm going to step away from the game entirely.
You may see me back in the fall, then again, you may not.
Been here a long time & I've seen a lot of changes. But the last couple have left a bitter taste. Time to take a long break.

I find that since the new patch I'm getting shot down just as much as I was before the patch came out. HT please fix this problem!! If you don't I will have to keep giving you $15 a month until this issue is resolved.
Thank You for your help in this matter.
