Yeah, they don't have such an option, but some people have modded-in some dampers themselves.

Well, not only the prices will drop if you wait a bit more, but you'll have next gen released as well which seem to be promising quite a step in performance.

The only thing I'd consider upgrading is the graphics card, since you game on a 4K TV/monitor. But, the GPU prices are still high compared to their MSRP, even though they are slowly dropping down. Given how the new generation of GPUs is planned to be released in like 6 months by both AMD and Nvidia, I'd wait for those for sure.

I think your first post was pretty self-explanatory; i.e. some guy from the forums suggesting that Razbam should remove a module in development from their line-up because he heard only one guy is working on it.

The purpose of the AI in Ka-52 would be to fly the helicopter or maintain a dynamic hover while you're operating weapons. As regards to Mi-24VP, I think you're confusing some bits with Mi-24VM/Mi-35M. Mi-24VP was indeed a variant of Mi-24V with a dual 23mm cannon turret, but there were some issues in practice with it which is one of the reasons for low production numbers. Mi-24VM/Mi-35M takes the 23mm turret configuration (I'd presume with a different control system like e.g. HMS which resolves earlier issues?) and adds those various upgrades related to targeting optics and night-flying, but I would presume ED would not be allowed to model these variants.

Do you mind posting the 3D file for this perhaps? I have a Cougar throttle somewhere that I've lubed with same Nyogel a year ago, so presume the rubber bits are also toast by now. Presumably the 3D printed parts will be resistant to Nyogel and a friend can print me these for free..

So, you'd want to tell Razbam now how to do their job now based on some scraps of information? They prioritize other modules at the moment to release and or complete them. Let them work.

Luckily, no injuries. If I understood correctly from the article, the one behind lost orientation from all the snow raised by the downwash and got too close to the first one and took out its tail rotor. https://www.fox13now.com/news/local-news/black-hawk-helicopter-reported-crashes-in-little-cottonwood-canyon

Awesome!

At least there's a new webpage, that's a good sign. This is something I look forward the most of all the currently announced modules.

Since the startup panel itself is an add-on to the throttle box, they could make different startup panels (like for e.g. F-16) if there's enough demand for it. In that case you wouldn't need another throttle box, just another panel and a throttle grip, plus some extra 15 minutes or so to swap those parts out. I think some Soviet style panel plus stick and throttle grips would be a good idea when MiG-29 comes out.

Doesn't sound like it should require some major change. E.g. two variables used to track these need to be defined outside of the radar function so they don't get re-initialized every time that function is invoked.

Apparently, they are from a BM, but the earlier BM proposal from the 90s (Izdeliye 01BM) which was multirole capable (Blue 58 according to the Yefim Gordon's book). According to photos presented in the book, the pilot's cockpit of MiG-31M had no MFD, but a radar scope repeater of sorts.

IIRC, 6 prototypes (Blue 151 to 156). If I understood correctly, the state trials were quite protracted due to lack of funding so they weren't fully completed by the time USSR fell apart, though the commission did recommend for it to enter production if some minor issues were addressed.

Some other airplanes (like e.g. F-14) have/had also a lower "Training" Master Arm position so the panel is more versatile this way.

Same here. The older 9.12/9.13 main feature over the MiG-23 was the much improved maneuverability, but it was kind of pointless due to the airplane not having enough fuel for dogfighting at any meaningful intercept range. The radar was basically at the same level as later MiG-23 MLA or MLD radars, so if R-27R and R-73 missiles plus HMS were installed on a newer MiG-23 variant (with e.g. AL-31F engines), I would wager it would have been a more useful combo than the MiG-29 operationally (due to a much larger combat radius). 9.15 finally adds more modern radar tech (ditches the cassegrain design for the flat plate slotted array and adds improved computers in the form of Ts101), adds another heavy pylon to the enlarged wings and improves on the fuel capacity (not only by ditching the auxiliary intakes, but also by having composite wings which allowed more capacity from the bag tanks which had to be used on the older variants) and adds smokeless engines (among some other improvements). The much improved A2G capabilities (by supporting guided missiles and bombs) were also quite significant, but I don't think most if not all of the announced weapons were fully developed and integrated in the 9.15 prototypes (compared to the A2A functions), especially as the N010 radar development was lagging behind. Shame the SU broke before it entered serial production. The current M model shares the two-seater canopy (from M2) so it looks quite odd to me.

These were the latest ones I've found some months ago when I was testing if mine still works. https://drivers.softpedia.com/get/KEYBOARD-and-MOUSE/Mad-Catz/Mad-Catz-Saitek-X-65F-Pro-Flight-Combat-Stick-Driver-70536-64-bit.shtml https://drivers.softpedia.com/get/JOYSTICK-GAMEPAD-WHEELS-and-TABLETS/Mad-Catz/Mad-Catz-Saitek-X-65F-Pro-Flight-Combat-Stick-Driver-Utility-70536-64-bit.shtml

Yeah, hope they release something like that once they have enough of the cockpit systems ready for showing. They can start with A2A modes since that seems to be getting worked on at the moment.

Yeah, it seems F-15E is getting the priority at Razbam now. It makes sense since it will sell like hotcakes.. I've loved the F-15E since the Microprose days, though personally, I'm kind of rooting for the MiG-23MLA even more in some ways. My take on it is that somebody else would have done the F-15E sooner or later, but a MiG-23 has much lesser prospects of coming to fruition (which would be a shame given how it was a mainstay of USSR Frontal Aviation for quite some time).

For BS3, IIRC ED wanted to represent the latest Russian MAWS system President-S which didn't land so well for obvious reasons. It doesn't really compare with basic 9.12 or 9.13 MiG-29s which are no longer in active service with RuAF, nor do they have any confidential systems which are still in use (like e.g. radar, RWR, IFF, etc.).

Why would it be compared to F-35C instead of F-35B?

Seems to be progressing quite well!

A very interesting system, surprised it wasn't fielded in the end. But, in any case, nice of Razbam to have provided it for us (and for free at that).

Great work, Razbam. Hope some of this stuff can be reused by some of your other modules.

To be fair, Winwing has just recently entered the consumer market so the comparison is not really fair. I'm sure you could find such complaints from back when VKB and Virpil were just starting. The company needs to get a larger sales volume so they can invest in dedicated customer support department and then have some part of the profit set aside to be burned on claims like these. Without a dedicated and trained customer support, the language barrier and a larger cultural difference can lead to a conflict when there's some problem. But, the problem here is that you're not the OP. You take one-sided second hand bits of information and form IMHO rather extreme views on the situation which you present as obvious 'facts' which only serves to escalating the misunderstanding further and doesn't really help the OP to resolve his situation to mutual satisfaction. I could be wrong, sure, but my basic view is that WinWing have no interest in crossing over their customers as it would be quite stupid to do so. But, I'd wager it sounds more likely than 'WinWing wants to shoot themselves in a foot to save $50' perspective.
