Impressions of our first Fighter Base test
As our first test approaches the end of its official time, I wanted to take a few moments to reflect on how things went so far and to solicit your feedback and thoughts about what you experienced today.
Before I begin, though, I want to thank all the folks who took the time to sign up for a paid membership to Fighter Base. We will be in touch with you shortly to get your shirt sizes and we’ll get your T-Shirts to you as soon as possible so that you can have them in time for our next open test!
We had
If you would like to share your experience or comments with us, please use our support system to do so. Click HERE to get to the support page. Based on your feedback and our own support experience over the last couple of hours we will be adding many How-To pointers in our FAQ section that will be available in the next couple of days.
When you do leave comments, it would be very helpful if you could also include your system information. For those unfamiliar with it, the dxdiag tool will output a file that tells us many valuable things about the hardware and system software on your computer without sharing any personal information.
Depending on your Operating System either click on Run or click on Search, get to a prompt and type “dxdiag”. That should bring up a screen like this screenshot below. Click on the “Save All Information…” button and include the content of the file dxdiag created in your Support submission.
Thank you in advance and see you in the skies!

Is there a way off resetting the first screen control configuration? i have my axis for views hurting lol
Administrator says:
The easiest way is to simply click on the Input tab the next time you play and reconfigure. If that fails, you can erase the settings by going into the registry if you are comfortable doing so. We’ll add a “reset” as soon as possible.
Sal Birrittier says:
I have installed from the email link, after the settings window I sit in the splash screen here I have to Esc.
Administrator says:
When you say “Splash Screen” what do you mean? The Unity logo screen or the “Loading” screen? If it freezes on the Unity screen then your video card may be incompatible. If you can, please send a screenshot to mavarick@fighterba.se so I can see what you’re seeing.

I loved seeing the familiar faces and some new ones also, Game was as expected for the build # and I can not wait for future builds it’s like raising a child and watching them grow into something respectable.
Rusty Knight says:
I joined up and flew yesterday. I enjoyed the flying. My game experience on my PC with cable modem was less than stellar. Tags were not with the planes. They seemed to just hang out in the arena. I wish there would have been a “How To Configure” views, etc. I did do a good job of being a target drone.
I tried the single area to practice. I most very disappointed in that. Just turning turning turning. The Tags did stay with the aircraft there!
thanks again for giving this a try. Wish y’all every success!

Thanks for the feedback. Please try the next version and see if the experience improves for you.

the game is better then I expected. The only thing is I wish you could hear the bullets hitting you.
Administrator says:
Thanks for the comment, Mark! The sound effects will come. These are still early days. Would appreciate your financial support for this effort if that’s an option for you.

AFGTOMCAT says:
hopefuly next month I can. Trying to get in right now but can’t. I put plane in and hit start but nothing happens
.
Rusty Knight says:
After playing four times on my PC, I find these problems-
As I enter the multiplayer room my plane crashes up to 3 times, before I am able to have any control over it’s flight. Once I have “Control” if you can call it that, I have very little actual control. Virtually no “up” control. Turns are very wide and slow. A “rollover and dive” into a target is almost impossible.
I find no place to “calibrate” my Extreme 3D Pro joystick within the game.
The game it’s self is still a bit jumpy, although I think it is improving? I am playing via a desktop PC via cable modem.
Again, I appreciate all your efforts so far. Looking forward to the game improving as we move along.
Regards,
Rusty Knight

Hi RKmojo!
Can you run dxdiag and submit it to us?
Also, what version of Windows are you running?
Did you look at the INPUT tab as you open game to see what settings are for your joystick?
Have you tried setting the axis in there?
Rusty Knight says:
I am running Windows 7 Home Professional.
I have selected the appropriate input/axis on my stick in the input menu.
I am running Windows Essentials How can I email you the dxdia?
Mariah says:
Email dxdiag to moira@fighterba.se please.
Mariah says:
Mark,
Have you done any updates on your computer since you were last able to access the game? Any windows updates? Antivirus security program updates?
If you could access it on the 17th, you should be able to connect to it today.
Rusty Knight says:
Only updates I have are the ones that Windows does automatically. Microsoft Essentials with associated updates.
USHA_Redneck_CO says:
I can play single player fine but cannot get into multiplayer at all ????
USHA_Redneck_CO says:
Moria, I cannot access multiplayer but can play single player fine. Do I need to enter server IP and port num. If so where can I acess them. TKS USHA_Redneck
Mariah says:
Right now, that information is not available. There is a new version under development and the server is not open to the public. As soon as the new version is available, Mark will post and you shouldn’t need the ip or port to access online.
Keep an eye on the website as well as the Fighter Base Group Page of Facebook.
