Hello everyone

I figured after a few days fumbeling around on the server I should say hello to all of you guys and girls.

So far I am enjoying the game a lot and to be honest I feel a bit of shame that I didn't see this game earlier.

I have been a space game buff ever since I played Star Raiders, Behind Jaggi Lines and the Last Starfighter on my Atari 800XL. (That's old stuff btw, loading games on a cassette tape and a data recorder)

Only issues I have so far is that I am unable to use my Saitek Cyborg Evo so playing with the mouse control for now, hopefully I get it fixed soon so I can have better control of my ship.
The other one is that my TrackIR does not seem to work in game either. It works fine in IL2 Sturmovik 1946 (as well as my Saitek btw) so I am a bit lost here on what to do.

You need to have trackir running before starting the game, then turn on head tracking in the main options.

That's exactly what I did, still no go.

In IL2 1946 it works a little different, there I have to turn the device on before I start the game and delete all the in game head movement keys/functions in order for it to work. It is a lot of work but in the end it works.

At first I didn't even see it was another player since there where several reds around me at the time.

The same happend with Marvin who was trying to help me when i was lost in uncharted space, he also jumped in while there where AI badies comming for me.

To be honest I don't miss the TrackIR that much in this game since you have all kinds of indicators and a targetting computer.

Unlike a WWII sim where you are 100% reliable on visual identification.

Yeah, it is a nice device to use, I totally agree there.

When we fly our WWII sim on a LAN on Airforce shows or in the National Combat Flight Museum a lot of people who never seen or heard from it are pretty blown away on how cool it looks.

Not to mention that it is very very practical searching for enemies or during a heated dogfight.

I've got a TIR 5 and I did need a game list update for it work with EM as I recall.

Yeps, that did the strick, I already saw the other games listed but not Mercenary, so now I have TrackIR active.

On a side note, I did see image tearing, even with Vsync on, a small let down but I am sure I get over it soon.

All there is left now is fixing the Saitek problem.

Oh, and I just checked, I have a TrackIR 4 set as I thought.

Nub won't mind if I form in formation to say hello all in his topic.

Hello all.

Nubarus informed me about this 'game' this morning and currently i'm working with his assist to get back in space again.

In short: Former Freespace 1/2 pilot, current Il2 fighterpilot. Flown hours with Nubarus.

The track ir is updated as stated and needs some tweaking, it's not yet operating as it used to be.
