  1. I pre-ordered Take on Helicopters when it was announced. Somehow it must have slipped that you also released the game on Steam. I really like Steam over having tons of installation files taking up space on the computer. I wonder if you're issuing Steam keys so I can have the game in the Steam library instead. I tried adding the game to Steam with the current key, but it didn't work.

    Disable force feedback?

    I guess the cheap IKEA tables aren't much solid inside, so it's a very hollow and loud "brrrrrrrr" noise. Haha. Since there's others in the house, I don't think they're too happy about me flying during the night. :D The worst part though is the major drop in frame-rate. The game is running at about 40fps, and once the FF kicks in, the game is running at 12-15fps. Unplayable and I'll have to restart the game. Unfortunately, the driver doesn't include any "enable/disable FF" in windows Control Panel.
  3. Anyone know if it's possible to disable force feedback? My Speedlink Black Widow joystick doesn't load with FF the first time I create a game. However, if I crash and need to either retry, revert to last saved check point or load a new flight, Force Feedback is suddenly switched on, and the game has terrible frame rate. I've tried updating driver, but it doesn't change anything. I'd like to disable the Force Feedback in general, because it makes the table vibrate and make a whole lot of noise.
  4. Yup, already downloaded and installed. Didn't do the trick for me. I'll find the cfg file and edit that parameter. Though it shouldn't be necessary to do so in the full game imho. Where's this user.cfg file?
  5. I've got a Speedlink Black Widow joystick. It's cheap, but at least it feels great and doesn't look like it's an alien from 'District 9' like all the rest, especially the Logitech ones. So, the drivers aren't the best I guess - I cannot switch off Force Feedback on this thing. So in Take On Helicopters, if I fly a little and exit the mission or free flight, then start another, the force feedback suddenly kicks in, as if it just realized "wow, this joystick you have actually support Force Feedback - let's use it!" Actually, I'd rather NOT use force feedback.. It makes a lot of noise on the table. But it also decreases the frame rate from 35-40fps to about 10fps.. It's unflyable. And very, very annoying. Would you mind adding a "disable force feedback" option? :butbut:
  6. Ok.. So I remapped it. But it doesn't work. :butbut: For instance, I changed the action button to mouse button 5 ( I got the Logitech MX518) but nothing happens if I press the button. Neither does the helicopter do anything when I changed the nose up/down. But if I reset the controls to default, everything works as it's supposed to. This is the demo though, might be fixed for the full game? Can't wait for it to release on Steam!
  7. I just downloaded the demo from Steam and tested it over and over again. Can't wait for the full game to unlock in a few days. There's one thing that makes me see red though. I went into the Helicopter training, and started pulling the mouse up and down, and quickly found out I gotta reverse the vertical axis so I can use the mouse as one would do in the real deal - pull to nose up and push to nose down. This setting seems to be global. So when I get out of the helicopter I gotta go into the options again to make it normal, so when I push the mouse away, the view goes up and vice versa. So this is my suggestion: Either make reverse vertical axis on mouse - be individual settings for aircraft and infantry/vehicles - make a keyboard bind for TOGGLE reverse axis I'd be happy with either one of those. Hope there's others out there thinking the same.
