lost my slew

[hurricane3]

For some reason I can't use slew mode anymore.I don't know if a Microsoft update is the culpret or what.I had'nt flown for a while and it took an hour to boot up the program and it had the same message thats there when you download new scenery but I had'nt downloaded any new scenery.
I always disable my joystick when in slew other wise the plane goes crazy,but now it just sits there with the lat and longitude accross the top like normal but the slew sign keeps flashing instead of staying on.I don't remember if it flashed before or not.
I don't want to do a system restore cause I usually lose something and to delete the config file means I would have to reset everything, and since I can move the aircraft in map mode it's not worth all the trouble.
So if there's an easy fix I'd like to know ,if not then I'll live with out slewing.Thanks

[hurricane3]

Found the problem, somehow all the slew commands were cleared, so I reset them and now I can use the slew again. It was very late last night and I never thought to check the slew commands. Sorry about that

[Lionheart]

I was just going to say... Check the keyboard assignments.


:D

[OBIO]

I once had a problem with the slew in my sim....somehow "slew" had been replaced by "slaw" and every time I pressed the Y key, shredded cabbage would go flying all over the place. Luckily I am one who finds fresh homemade slaw to be a good topper for grilled hamburger patties...so I had a rather tasty summer that year.

[Lionheart]

lololol.... Luckily that hasnt happened to me yet... yet.

[hurricane3]

Boy glad that didn't happen to me , that was a close one. LOL

[Matt Wynn]

Slaw? dang! i get showered with scalding hot meat, potatoes, vegetables... i get Stew... seems we have a meal amongst ourselves....

[Cees Donker]

LOL!

[srgalahad]

at least, so far, we've stopped short of having the computer unexpectedly SPEW


oops

one must be very careful of keys in close proximity

[hurricane3]

Make fun of an old gezzer who only has two brain cells left and they have never been formaly introduced.Now where did I put that stew?Lo......whats the last letter ?

'B' ? i'm sure it's 'B' y'know it's that text-speak-acronym that stands for Lost Our Braincells.... :icon_lol:

and it still beats having a small rodent leap out at you.... yeah... Shrew Mode.........

Mind you Matt, with your recent history of PC problems, the day will come when you press the button and your screen tilts downwards - Skew Mode.

[Matt Wynn]

:icon_lol::icon_lol:

Skew Mode.... not to be confused with that 18+/Adult feature.... Screw Mode, where your PC starts getting all 'frisky' and wanting to hop on your lap :icon_lol:

You are a "Trip" my young friend.

Well, we're not welcome anywhere else hereabouts, so we might as well have some fun.

RD, didn't you realise that GMT doesn't really mean "Greenwich Mean Time", it is "Greek Maybe Time" - a wonderfully laid back group of people.

[Matt Wynn]

boy did you hit the nail on the head Andy.... why rush anything... :icon_lol: we're so laid back that we're 2 hours ahead of Greek Maybe Time, so at 10am we're already having lunch and getting ready for the obligatory afternoon nap :icon_lol:

LOL Andy, I'm a South Georgia "Redneck". We have a similar condition. I'm fixing to do it which loosely translated means in an hour or a month or so from now.:sleep:

Seems we are forgetting to mention the Slew problem most flight simmers face....the Straw Mode....when you hit the Y key, your flight sim begins sucking all the money out of your wallet for computer upgrades and payware packages.

Those how have not encountered Straw Mode are generally stuck in SLOW Mode with their 2.0gig P3 based computers.

Then there's the rare SHAW Mode....when you hit the Y button and your mother-in-law suddenly appears in your sim room and begins organizing all of your books by color. I have only had this one happen once....luckily I was able to pull the power cord out of the wall before the MIL could do to much damage to the mess I like to keep my sim room in.

[Desert Rat]

personally I quite enjoy a flight now and again in 'brew' mode :guinness::icon29::jump:

[AndyG43]

I used to have problems a few years back, when I had cats; one of them often used to walk across my keyboard ........ mew mode.

[Matt Wynn]

when my PC screws up i take a snooker cue to it... yeah thats right.... Cue mode! :icon_lol:

[hurricane3]

OK, I can't stop this monster I've created , but when my sim or puter screws up I want to hit the command that puts them in the ..............wait for it............... COM, MODE ,get it? It's a joke son, commode. Sorry I'll go back to my padded room now.

[Matt Wynn]

.... and when i start talking in my usual manner my computer gets subjected to Blue Mode :icon_lol:

[OBIO]

Those of us who have been flight simming for a few decades will remember this one from the 80s: Depeche Mode

That'll be the mode where your pilots have frilly cuffs and collars and floppy hair-do's (or hair-don'ts might be more apt). I just can't get enough, of that mode.

There's also the closely related 'True' mode, Where similarly clad pilots from Spandau Ballet replace their new-romantic brethren.

[srgalahad]

All these choices are likely to cause some stress or confusion. Instead, I would suggest something as safe and dependable as apple pie -- select Ala Mode

[Wing_Z]

All I am waiting for, is some wiseguy to say that you should simply disregard your slew....

[Rallymodeller]

I prefer the option that fills my aircraft with shredded cabbage, the famous Cole Slew Mode. In the same vein, there is also a variant that fills the cargo hold with a thick meat soup: Stew Mode.

If you do aerobatics, any passengers may spontaneously enter Spew Mode.

Mary, Joseph, and Jesus? Who started this thread? Didn't it have something to do with a serious question? Guys, if you haven't had fun following this thread, your fun lobe has been excortiated.

I am the culpret who started this never ending thread. I was to tired and dumb to check my slew commands ,when I did I found they were all cleared ,don't have a clue why. So after I did a few assignments I had my slew back.
But I don't think we've had this much fun since the last time OBIO crashed a plane, oh wait the was today. I don't crash em cause I turned off that command ,now I just bounce back in the air when I land on taxiways ,trees, and buildings.

[Matt Wynn]

so i guess if Obios been crashing he's had Wreckage Strew(n) Mode on again? :icon_lol:

I'm with you. I have enough crashes when I get a bad case of "the dumb thumb" out at my RC club's flying field. :running:On flight sim, I don't require quite that much realism.....:icon_lol:

Obviously! but be careful about landing on ponds, lake and swamps unless you are SURE you have also turned off Slough Mode or you will sink and get stuck
