precision mode

Somehow I cannot see difference between normal and precision mode F7 (in enhanced mode).
I tried to change key and depressed toggle option and no specific change.

I would like to know more about this option (can I specify speed of precision mode somewhere?)

regards

Hello:

Precision Mode is a HotKey you press to change your scaling on the fly. It is hard coded to be a change of about 10X less scaling, but we will make that adjustable in a future release. It should change on the fly, when you press the HotKey and be very noticable. Try it in Mouse Mode only and the cursor should emulate what will happen in the game.

It would be great to have precision mode in advanced mode too.
Moreover it would be just great to have second scalable precision mode toggled with another hot key.
In Il-2 I macroed precision mode to wide view and narrow view. By this way I am able to switch modes logicaly with views. Another precision mode would be used with normal view.
I would like to have three different hotkeys for normal mode,medium precision mode and full precision mode. With scallable inputs in advanced mode (ie with smooth preset) it would be just top of my expectations from Your software.

Me just dreaming...

But You can make it happen

Regards

Jim - I have a joystick key mapped to precision mode. When I press it i get a very slow pan near the centre and then it speeds up as I get towards the edges.
is this just a way of putting the settings into a previously determined "slow motion" speed? How can I change these speeds, or can i not do that yet?
BTW - enhanced in BOB doesn't work same as in IL-2 FB!!
cheers

Hello:

Precision mode for trackIR Enhanced just slows everything down a ton and is hard wired. We plan on making it user adjustable in a future version.

BoB and IL-2 FB should work very similarly, the scaling might be different, but that is up to the game designer, the functionality should be the same, let me know how it is different and we can take a look at it.

Thanks for the reply Jim. I created the profile- the "deadzone 2 profile as shown in the .pdf manual-
According to some on BOB forum at SimHQ, I should be able to use the mouse in the interactive cockpit whilst using enhanced mode. I cannot, although the last selection under motion was for enhanced mode.
Also, when i go into the game and press the key for enable; and then mode, I should get an "off centre " image which track centre button should , well, centre-Yes? as in FB.?
That doesn't happen.
I can look all the way round to the "six" view unlike in FB, but that may be down to the sim.
Is there anything I should check, to ensure i am in enhanced mode?
E g. - If I quit BOB and open Trackir, should it not show as being in enhanced rather than mouse emulation?
which is what it says now?
cheers
