Default News about Custom Layouts

Dear all,

I just learned something which I didn't know before which might come as good news for our members who are used to playing with Standard Layout on the PS3 Controller (Pad).

Didn't know that the D-Pad (the four bottons arranged as a cross on the left side of the Pad) function as directing the view in games other than Training or Campaigns, that is in Dogfights etc. In Training and Campaigns, they are set up to give commands to your flight.

Member TheMeistor pointed this out to me. He is mostly using these buttons to look around while playing with the Standard Layout, he keeps his thumbs on the sticks and is using his left pointer finger to press the respective D-Pad button.

Custom Layouts didn't seem to work for Standard Layout users since when pressing R3 to look around, it doesn't cancel the other functions of the right stick (throttle/rudder) due to a bug in the Custom software.

If you are used to flying with the Standard layout and set up Custom to use the D-Pad for the looking directions, you can still benefit from the greatly enhanced flying characteristics of the airplane under Custom versus the Standard Layout. In this case do not set up R3 to activate your Camera, and leave the Camera Axes blank. Unfortunately you will not have a full over the shoulder look, just sideways over the wing, but this might still be a good tradeoff.

If you need help setting this up, I'll be glad to give you a hand when we meet onlline.

Best,

MAC

Although I am new to this game, what you describe sounds like a hoot!

I will try the described set-up and see how I do. If it looks like I can get the hang of it, I would like to be a part of this group as it does sound quite fun!

Membership requires some experience, but happy to do some training session with you anytime, and give you a hand with doing a custom setup of your PS3 controller, should you be using that.

And some close contact with a P51 ?

Note the sign behind the plane.

Lol, well it might help! Such as discrete little envelopes slipped quietly into my backpocket...

Lightbulb Mustang Club Social group?

Hey

I have this idea that we should create one social group for these two clubs what we have here. It would be easy to schedule battles and meetings and other stuff like that. I dont know but i think there is possibility to create own topics for scheduling and other. Easier to find and share information i think.

What do you guys think?

Default Introducing Club Rules 'Light'

Dear members,

In order to use the positive momentum the tournament has created and promote the more challenging ways of flying, I'd like to introduce a new version of the Club Rules which should make it easier for members and outsiders to find their way into the cockpits:

Club Rules 'Light' (CRL)

- Cockpit Only
- No HUD
- Who dies less wins
- Limited Ammo/Fuel

Own discrection on sensitivity settings.

Note that the B-tournament is not affected by this change, which still requires classic Club Rules at all times.

When setting up a game under CRL, it's easiest to start the game from the text chat with everyone who wants to play like this, or send PSN messages to those in a room to confirm CRL are in force.

Happy 'light' Club Rules flying!

MAC
