It is not "my trick", I was merely attempting to share some advice that a lot of track IR users like for a new user. Thanks for not turning that into such a big deal. Never saw someone so adamant about needing to putting someone else down for trying to just be helpful. Again, use your way all you want, it certainly doesn't hurt or make my advice any less valuable. I'm not here to prove others wrong or "my way" better, just answering his question with something very helpful.

Can suggesting my way is "easier" or in your words "better" be considered a form of helpful advice as well? Why, I think it can!No one is trying to wind you up. Nor did I "put you down". As a matter of fact, I insisted I was lazy because I consider your rather painless TrackIR center "trick" to be a pain in the butt.Instead of trying to humiliate someone and then giving 500 word narratives on why using the F12 button is great, move along and let others interject their .02 without having a hissy fit. Finally, this would be better suited in PM if you have a problem with me. It's gone far enough in this thread.

...Also, at times you may find your view isn't perfect in FSX. What I do, is say I feel too close and don't want to modify my EZCA FOV, I just lean in toward the receiver, press the hot key for center and then sit back. Works great.

It's easier to click the middle mouse button and press the down arrow. Lazy :( haha

Zach, wow man, enough is enough. Do not repeat things I said as if I started the conversation with them. Those were said after you felt the need to say it as well as tearing into this topic with your need to correct someone. Seriously, you quote where you think one is wrong yet you are the one from the start that said what you say is what "I" said wrong. Never do I or would I stomp on anything anyone said in the way you often do. If I have a different way, I mention it, but respectfully so. The major point here though that you can't seem to wrap your head around, is that you and I are talking about 2 different things. So please, for the love of god,,, pull out of me already.This topic is now a childish clusterf@# which shouldn't have happened in the 1st place. I will back off now since I know you just need that last word. I'm not in favor of repeating myself and if you can't see the problem here, then nothing I can do. If I return, it will be just to hopefully add to a topic something useful should anyone find this post in a search, or in my original intent in helping someone new.@ Ryan, one more thing I thought of is the annoyance EZCA can do in resetting whichever profile you have chosen (well, it changes it). I'm pretty sure the fix is within EZCA's settings, but still about an hour from getting to reinstalling EZCA (doing a full reinstall for a tut).I have a very good write up on this in my forum for tricks users shared in using EZCA that helped me a lot. I'll look for it a little later and share anything I see may have not been covered.

turbine.. I fine tune adjust my position the same way you do. Works well for me

Thanks everyone - I'll try some of this stuff out.

I used your method before the creation of EZDC, though.Even still: You can tap Numpad 2 and adjust with the arrow keys, then tap it again and it's set for good.Apparently I'm the lazy one.

Zach, once again you seem to have an opinion on everything and have the unique ability to rub people up the wrong way with your condesending reponses.

I'm not sure how calling oneself lazy is condescending.Either way, the reaction is unwarranted. Dan is just as guilty in this one. But thanks for your input. So since you're counting, what's the score?... Dan is a regular here, he's had spats with people before. That doesn't make him a bad guy. I'm a regular, I've had spats as well. It happens with a bunch of men around.

Ok I lied, I'm back. Zach, I have nothing against you and didn't react at all wrong. If you think so then sorry, but I didn't. The 1st time you said:

It's easier to click the middle mouse button and press the down arrow. Lazy :( haha

You say you called yourself lazy, and yet you may have, but didn't seem so when you later said:

Apparently I'm the lazy one.

To me it's more of a politicians answer to change thinking later to fit or turn around a situation, but again, not my main gripe as I've said this whole thread.Any half wise individual can easily see the "possibility" for contradiction in everything you've said, but in this case we are talking about 2 different things and from the start it just seems like you want to compete which is just dumb. If you're not, then ok, lets drop it. I don't care, I respect your opinions and always give credit to anyone willing to help others,I'm not a regular here (anymore) so don't know you from a hole in the wall and you don't know me either. I never draw 1st blood, but also have no problem taking turns with the shovel. Do I get my panties in a bunch over stupid things like this? Absolutely. Because I am one that constantly cleans threads up and can spend half a day on ONE post to better that whole "Knowledge base" aspect of a forum, topic or post. I see things running off topic on posts like this and yeah, I get annoyed, especially when there is no reason at all for it to be happening in the 1st place.From the little I've read from you, the majority is of course as I said, in your favor and respect people willing to help. People I have "spats" with are normally attacking others. Not always, but mostly. Very rarely have I ever been on my own defense here and if you look closely, I will say whatever I think needs to be said to whomever it needs to be said to. I don't look at rank, and NEVER at post count. Like I've told you before, "Quality>Quantity". I don't actually like confrontation though, it's ugly. So is cluttering up threads that begin with questions and making them personal like we've both done here. But anyway, don't say "he's had spats with people before" unless you know everything behind it. I defend others a lot, absolutely, and I am never out for popularity, here or anywhere during those times and just trying to right a wrong, or better put, stand up for the human being being the 1 post count under his avatar. My only goals are to give my $02, and keep my advice as accurate as possible. The rest of the time when on other boards its finding answers to my own questions, thus the desire to keep things easier on other readers. So lets drop it. Hopefully both our retardation in this topic will get deleted and just the important parts left over.On another note, I found the topic I was looking for. It wasn't even about TrackIR, it was about EZCA. It's still had lots of TIR discussions, but nothing to ad. So basically, I came by to report that I had nothing more to report :(

That's called reiterating, what I did there. And no, I'm not "politicking". (what are you even talking about this time?!) It's self-deprecation to help others keep in mind the fact I realize my methods could just have been developed out of a necessity to make things easier on myself, or that perhaps even I'm lazy."Surely any half-wise individual" can see the bully behavior in your post? If "drawing first blood" (now you're Rambo?) is disagreeing with your methods and saying so in a decent, civilized way, than by all means: I "drew first blood". If being an absolute dolt and starting personal attacks is drawing first blood, well, you're too dense to smell the roses. Btw yes, I do see the contradictory behavior in this thread. You're so ironicLastly, this isn't your forum. It's Mr. Allensworth's. It's not your job here to jump up someone's butt when you decide the thread is approaching your anal retentive level of junk. Nor is it your right to bully me or anyone else in here. Not through humiliation, not through intimidation, etc, etc.

Guys, do I really need to lock my own thread? Cmon, this is ridiculous, cut it out.

on that note, there is enough GOOD info to allow this other BS to go on. Topic locked.
