Janes F/A-18

lowwing_99 · 01-27-2007, 06:04 PM

I am new here & I have a few questions to ask. I am a pit builder, & have been going between Janes F/A 18 which I am familiar with, & Falcon 4.0 (which there are many flavors of.) I like janes better but everyone is building F-16's for pits. I have been trying to get Falcon to work properly & just can't seem to get it & I want to go back to Janes. My question here would be to ask if there is any way to get this software to work for 2 MFD's (multi functional displays,) & the UFC (up front controller.)

I don't know about UFC's. But several guys here are using 2 touchscreens.

Why don't you just buy F4AF?

The original Falcon has an issue with second screens attached to the gaming PC. It prevents the mouse from leaving the game window area, which also prevents the touchscreen from working (F4AF also has this problem, but uses a system to capture the mouse that TouchBuddy can override).

As for Janes F/A-18, I think Ripcord flies this (that is where I "found" him, on the SimHQ forums). He posted that he was away for a short while, so best to wait until he gets back.

Yeah man, I have the UFC set up in my profile, as well as both MFDs. Now working on the lower parts of the cockpit, something that is proving more challenging. I'm happy to send you what I got, if you want it. It is a work in process, though. Just PM me.
