vaaf_rup 0 Posted July 14, 2009 Even in this age of high technology, every section and vehicle will have paper theatre maps available. I hate having to take my eyes inside when I'm flying to check my position, I'd much rather have a printed map on my knee for quick reference. I'd be very happy either if BI released PDF versions with gridlines that we could print at an appropriate scale (1:25,000?) on a large-format printer, or if they released printed maps for purchase. My second point is in relation to aircraft power controls - the throttle/collective. In helos, one tends to pull for power. In fixed-wing, one tends to push for power. It seems that we must make the decision one way or another when setting up our controllers, which means it will always be "wrong" for either fixed or rotary, depending on which way you've set it up. It would be great to have a key-bindable control to flip the "aircraft throttle up" and "aircraft throttle down" bindings on the fly without having to go into control setup and change it each time I change aircraft type.

lgbainbridge 10 Posted August 4, 2009 (edited) The following works for VBS2, not sure if it works for others... There is a command that you can use inside a VBS2 scenerio. It is on the wiki here: http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/exportEMF_%28VBS2%29 If not that then try opening up a mission that you want the map for and then hitting SHIFT + - [left shift and the minus sign] when you are in the map view with the mission started. Then type in "topography" and this should dump in a ".emf" file into the root directory. Edited August 4, 2009 by lgbainbridge Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thirdup 0 Posted August 5, 2009 This brings up a very valid point with regards to flight controls in general. What works well for a chopper (even beyond throttle/collective configs) is NOT always the ideal setting for a helo. There are ways to tweek the settings, but once tweeked for one type of flight it borks things for the other. Let's cross our fingers and hope. We're getting an actual working throttle in 1.03. Hopefully we might see seperate helo/fixed wing controls. BIS was able to seperate ground vehicles from aircraft....why not take it to the proper next level...and seperate rotory from fixed wing?
