Update: I installed a new Samsung 2TB SSD and to my surprise. It replaced a 1TB Samsung 850 Pro that had both the beta and the release version on it. No wonder I thought it was fast enough. The 6TB gaming drive will be great for backups so it's all good.

Well the current drive I was running the release version on was a WD 1TB Black high performance drive and it ran fine. I forget if I ran the game on the C Drive SSD and put the rest on the spinney drive as I forget as it's been on there a long time. Anyhow, I just bought a 2 TB Samsung SSD just in case. Here is the link though to the WD Gaming Hard drive I got. Thanks https://www.westerndigital.com/products/internal-drives/wd-black-desktop-sata-hdd#WD6003FZBX

Alrighty then, time for for more new drives. I just bought 2 4TB drives for my current non-gaming pc and a few 16TB for my backup storage drive box, so a few more drives won't hurt (except for the wallet). I know SSD's are cheaper now but a WD spinny gaming drive may be what I add as the DCS simulator seems to run ok with them. Thanks Added: I just ordered a 6TB WD high performance gaming drive with 256MB cache for $119 with free shipping direct from WD.

I usually use the Beta version but keep the release version up to date and check for updates once in a while. I tried to update this yesterday and it says I don't have enough room on my hard drive. Is the upgrade really this large and it's telling the truth? I have the Beta and the release version both on the same 1TB hard drive. I have another 1 TB hard drive with 549GB free so could I move the existing files there or is it time for bigger hard drives? Thanks

Will this work for you? https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3321306/

Thanks for the info. I already figured out and unmapped the Pilot controls for the Crosswinds but forgot about the CP/G. I didn't have Opentrack started before I started so that is why I had some issues there. I will fix that today. I did set my curves too. I was able to fly a little bit yesterday but that tracker is sure needed for best results. Cheers!

Thanks in advance for this. I am going to give it a try as I have the TM Warthog HOTAS. I also have the Crosswinds pedals too though so hopefully I can understand how to enable them once I start setting this up. Oh, one more question. I do not have TrackIR but I have my own homemade head tracker and use OpenTrack software so will that work the same? Thanks

I have the TM Warthog HOTAS and a shiny new AH-64D I need to fly. This thread looks interesting but I have a few questions. I need to buy an Xbox controller and prefer a wired one so is there a certain model I need like an Xbox 360? I see a bunch of aftermarket controllers on ebay and I assume that a Sony controller would be best? And on the keyboard binding software which one is the best so I don't have to fiddle around with all three of these I found. XPadder or JoyToKey or Antimicro? Thanks edit: I guess after some more research I could use a PS3 or and XBox controller but I just want to but a quality controller and preferably wired. Still want opinions on XPadder and JoyToKey as I never used either one. edit #2: I found this and it works great for the TM Warthog HOTAS with or without pedals. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3321306/

I just thought I would mention for the latest beta version available it shows up as 2.5.5.41692 but is supposed to be 2.5.5.41962.

I can answer this one. The extra discount for already owning the FA/18 will come off after you are logged in to the order form so it can verify you really own it. Total should end up just less than $25. And in my case I had some ED Miles from buying the JF-17T so my Super Carrier only cost me $17 plus come change. :thumbup: DB

Thanks for the image and also now I know why I couldn't find some of the stuff. It was in the AXIS Commands. :music_whistling: I was in the AXIS tune for the curves but forgot about this area to look. I know that T6 slider worked on a few other jets but I didn't know where to enable it. I appreciate the help, DB

Thanks guys for the info and screenshots. I was mainly having trouble finding all the sensors when I did a search. S1 and S2 sensors, the MMS section, and the T-6 Axis Antenna Elevation. I am using my WH in standard out of the box mode as I never used the Target software yet. Thanks, DB

Hi, I took the plunge and bought the JF-17 yesterday and today I was setting up my HOTAS according to page 10 of the Chucks JF-17 manual. Are all of those settings currently applicable and able to be set? I am having trouble figuring out some of them as they do not show up when I do a search. If they are all supposed to be able to be set up, I will reply with a short list of the ones I need help with. Thanks, DB

Thanks razo+r. That helps. I guess I was doing a short press. Thanks Harker. I think the "long press" is what was messing us up. I appreciate it. DB
