After 5 or so years I decided to fly again. The only problem is my gear was in a storage unit in Missoula, MT - 700 miles away. Decided to make it a motorcycle trip to rescue my Thrustmasters.
Anyone heard from Hooter or the 367th Fighter Group? Top Gun members?
Cheers,
Butcher

Thanks all; I retrieved my sticks; pedals and track IR. Unfortunately my pedals and track ir were no good when I hooked them up. Thrustmaster however were flawless, unfortunately going from a twisty to my Thrustmasters; I won't back down. I ordered new pedals.

dont do something stupid like i did. my x55 rhino stick stopped working. just wasnt recognized by windows. so i went and bought a cheap stick. the thrustmaster, now mly rhino throttle still works, so i figure i'll use it and the stick from tflight. it was unconfortable to use but what the hell. stick didnt work, i could set up all the buttons but no yaw, pitch or rudder. so I returned it to best buy. couple of weeks later i got the itch to play again, so i ordered the x56 rhino. so i set it up and same thing throttle works but no yaw, pitch or rudder.
now by this time i am really, really upset, I have a bad back so getting down on the floor and getting up is like really painful. so I returned it the x56 and got my money back, now this is a 350 stick now. so I decided to try one more time. so I decided to order the 3d pro, plug back my old x55 throttle and damn stick still has no yaw, pitch or rudder. i can see them move on the game but when I fly, it doesnt work.
so now I remember that I wrote instuctions on how to set up the x55 when i got it many years go, so I search for the file. the last line reads in big bold letters, dont forget to calibrate stick for yaw, rudder and pitch to work.
I had to get up and move away from the computer, I told my wife, I'll be back i need a drink or I'll explode. she puts my shoes on and she goes with me, ask for a shot of tequila, then another, then another, then another, then another. my wife asked me if I am ok, i said, i am now. lets go home. so she brings me home, I calibrate the stick and now I can fly.
had a great time :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

Pretty sure TIR works the same as back when you were playing....BUT Did you remember to fire up TIR before you started AH? Might just need new drivers..it has been awhile you know :neener: More than happy to send you a New TIR if it is just kubar! Seriously! Having players come back is a plus-plus for me...plus its an investment on MY game time fun....yup I am selfish like that LOL If you arent there, how am I supposed to fight ya? :devil

Good to see/hear you are coming back Butcher!
Sounds like a fun bike ride up through the Bitterroot Valley/Mtn range... I love that area from south of Bozeman all the way up to the Canadian border...

Under "profile" box just under your ID at top of page, there is a "Look/Layout" box. Then you have a "New Posts at top" check box...that may be what you looking for

I believe that is default. That is why I asked if he was using a third party app.
