Bah! As long as I learn something, good flying and thanks for the help getting me set up!
Edit - Just watched the ACMI. Let me say "Rate Kills". Also, xianzai's high-speed beam of my slammer shots leaves him in a much more offensive position for a follow up.
I'm not sure what happened with the equipment, but we re-did those matches. I couldn't padlock, nor could I pan in the 3D pit with track-IR. I've never had this problem before and I don't know what happened to cause it. Hopefully it's a one-time event and not some interplay between my HOTAS, SecureFalcon, and my connection (768/1024).
