K-Ken!

It's great to see you!  I miss you in scenarios!

I didn't know that you were from Pontiac.  I grew up in Troy.  :cheers:

And cheers to Shamus from Oxford!

Sorry to hear about your Dad, K-Ken, and my best wishes to you and your family.

Aces High doesn't seem to need much increased computer resources since 2015.

What is your frame rate if you do these things in graphics settings:
-- Environment map slider to zero.
-- Disable shadows, reflections, pilot mesh, and post lighting.

Like Svaalbar, who graciously offered a joystick, I also have a Logitech Extreme 3D (it is a twisty stick for rudder and has throttle on the joystick base) that I can send you.  Tell one of us your mail address, and we can get you one.  :aok

K-Ken, there is an event coming up on July 31st -- a TFT (like a one-day scenario, that runs for 8 hours, but you show up whenever during that time you want, and fly for as much or little as you want).  Feel free to come on in for some flying time.  :aok

WOW Hi Brooke! I have missed many things and your calming voice and nature! Yes, I graduated from Pontiac Northern High school!  LOL I do miss scenarios http://www.kkenshome.com/events.html I can fire up the old PC and see if it can work still. I have my MS FF stick and a complete CH set. I suspect flying again would be fun but I would be starting fresh!  LOL I may have to change my name, I suspect. Let me try and get things checked out. I used my laptop the other day. Not sure I have enough USB ports for gear.

Just grab yourself a powered USB Hub, which would also provide the the needed, steady voltage/power

Welcome back! <S>

Very kind of you. I can try to see if my gear still works.

Send me a message if wanted if your gear is wonky or so

It's a bit "used" like for 300 hours or so tho. :cheers:

^ This is excellent!  :aok
Thanks Brooke- Sadly, I have been lax in updating it. The pages were written long ago with the Microsoft Front Page software and the pages don't load correctly now. I have some new software, but still trying to figure it out  LOL

Thanks guys!  My Microsoft Force Feedback still still works!  :rock :joystick: Mind you, I am still trying to remember the key mapping and all. It's trying to come back in my mind, but I am finding some keys I set don't feel right. Also the stick is really sensitive. I may need a week or so to figure things out. I did go Rook, I flew thru a hanger in a P38L but hit a gun on the reverse side. Landed w/1 engine  LOL I forgot I have to set gun convergences and all...BUT I will keep plugging away.   :rock :joystick: :airplane:

Welcome back!

I just returned myself a few weeks ago!  I went by the callsign Pyroman and I flew with the Nightmares on the Rooks.  I don't know if you remember me or not, but I'm glad to see you are coming back!  Hopefully we can wing up some time here soon!!!  <S>

I am still tweaking my joystick, changed button settings as I recall things I used to do and where they were assigned. I have done a few Carrier takeoffs and landings in Hogs. The C is still a challenge!  LOL I haven't set convergence or done much but still trying!
