Dear friends,
I have experimented further and have been able to solve the problem that the looking around from the cockpit was not as smooth as we knew it from the aviator layout. It's identically smooth now. Also, I find the P-51 now very similar to what we know from aviator/standard layouts, except for the 'jump' into stall. I'm attaching the latest settings. Please note I have also used the UP command for pause, since the Select+Start Combination doesn't work as well as on aviator. If you need this for flying missions in sim, you should retain these keys, I have removed them, as well as trim, which I never use...however the main functions are all there and are working fine! Enjoy! Best, MACADEMIC ![]() Last edited by MACADEMIC; 01-23-2011 at 05:44 PM. |

Go
Layouts, choose custom, then back to custom layout and it will open. |

I learned the other day that some players had problems configuring the axes of their pads the way they're used to in the standard or aviator layouts (e.g. reversing the Up/Down on the Y axis).
I found out that the normal Options menu doesn't work in a Custom layout. Instead, you have to change the axis in the Settings Menu under Custom Layout. Then it's all Honkey Dorey. MAC |

![]() ![]() NO MAP GAMES! Last night we tried a variation of the game that brings us one step closer to the real thing: flying without using the map. We did one game as CTA with one airfield which worked very well, and a team battle in Britain where the mission objective was to defend Dover harbour. This also worked very well. I found that never looking at the map but scanning the sky adds a lot to the immersive experience of 'being there'. Flying by look and see, and by 'lose the sight, lose the fight' is a thrill and closer to the real thing. Now I think that games without using the map should remain Special Club games, not become a general rule. Most of the maps are just too large to find one another. So here's two 'NO MAP' Special Club games that can be played without using the map: 1. ANY CTA WITH ONLY ONE AIRFIELD. 2. 'DEFEND LOCATION XYZ'. Any dogfight or teambattle with the special mission objective to defend a specified airspace. That means that the place of the action has to be clearly defined and easily recognizable, and that all pilots seek to defend the airspace there against the enemy. Suitable locations for a 'Defend location XYZA' Special Club game: Lake Lentini; Catania Airfield; Berlin Tempelhof Airfield; and, any single airfield CTA can be played as a 'Defend location XYZ' teambattle, meaning that no one is supposed to land and all the action is to take place in the sky only. Before starting such a game, it is important that all players understand and agree that this game is a 'NO MAP' game and will not use their maps during the game. Only exception of course is when in respawning the map is displayed. Hope we'll all have lots of fun with these new special games! See you in the skies soon!

![]() Happy to welcome reaper1526 to the Club. Would you mind letting us know what you're using for your flight controls (Pad, Flight Stick,...) and what kind of setting (Standard/Aviator/Custom,...)? Look forward to flying with you in the Club - FOX AND HOUNDS is plenty of fun, other games too! MAC Last edited by MACADEMIC; 06-19-2010 at 09:53 PM. |

Hello all,
News about Custom Layouts: A very useful discovery is that in fact it's possible to change the Controls and Custom Layouts during a game. When going to Pause/Menu while in game, you can press the Square button to get to the Layout/Custom Layout Menu and take it from there. When connected with headsets in a dogfight, this way it's very easy to help someone else doing the Custom Layout by talking them through. I'd encourage all Club members to give others a hand who want to benefit from having a Custom Layout. Best, MAC Last edited by MACADEMIC; 07-23-2010 at 07:53 AM.
