Hi, Serial number 118 bricked. Was in storage for a couple of years because of a chafed wire under the inboard throttle lever. I already ordered the correct 7-pin JST 1.25 cable from China - then noticed the throttle is bricked... was ok when I stopped using it so I had no idea. Idk what to do really. Is there any alternative to buying a new board from TM? I can solder and I like to fix things. ~70 EUR for a new board is a lot for me right now as I have to pay my VPForce Rhino very soon. Been waiting in line for that one since September. I have another throttle but it's not very good. I have flown only choppers for the last two years and I've got a collective for that. FWIW my current MB is Gigabyte X570 I Aorus. I tried to get the fw back in using 3 different computers. Edit: I browsed this thread after posting and turns out there is something I can try and I only need to buy a microcontroller. Thank you @acidwise and @walmis! Edit2: @bn880 fixed my PCB (recommended) and I fixed chafed throttle wiring myself. Hint: if you order 7-wire (for right throttle) or 5-wire (left) JST 1.25mm cables, ask for a flipped connector at one end. Just look at the original connectors closely, they only go in one way.

Another Hornet and (soon) Rhino owner here hoping to see G-load based FFB support in F/A-18, please.

Just watched the first one. This explains everything. Thank you, Sir!

Munkwolf's lua-code (link in previous post) works like charm. I can now bind everything to buttons in my cockpit, including the landing light switch.

Nope, I already tried Spot Light Control Button Right. Landing light 3-pos switch is one of the many missing ones. I just learned there is a community project for this: https://github.com/Munkwolf/dcs-community-keybinds/tree/6f02282163ef3335ed462823795c22e59c977a97

The commands are: Fix/Release reflector Reflector down Reflector up No default keys, set it up yourself.

I'm still looking for the Control/Off/Retract switch in the Adjust Controls -menu so I can map it somewhere. (And all the pilot sight switches on/off, sync, brightness and... there were a few more for the pilot's sight). Anyone?

That's what I'm talking about! Your design?

You absolutely must get a collective lever too - you won't regret it. And agree 100% with OP the Hind is so exciting to fly in VR.

I would wait until these are implemented before searching further. 30 mm gun isn't fully operational in the sim yet.

Hi f4I0, You probably knew this but the cannon can be loaded inflight, so I'm thinking it must have "number of reloads" there somewhere too. These should be summed up to get the remaining ammo. If I wasn't so busy learning to fly this wonderful helo I could look into the code myself. I have no doubt you'll crack it before my vacation in August, though. I used to understand Lua export when I made a cockpit in 2011. Good luck and thank you for all your hard work, my BK2 is finally kicking butt as it should!

Remember you can also make the flip of the trigger operate two or more buttons at the same time. I'm using it this way and it's handy in VR with the A-10. When I flip the trigger up or down, it acts as both the MASTER ARM and GUN ARM. This way I don't need a toggle switch for GUNARM. I've got separate weapon release and GAU-8/A triggers.

Tell me about it. Before, I could barely take off in a Huey without breaking something. But last night, armed with my new K-51, I made a controlled approach and landed like a feather - on a hill top - in the f****** dark!

Small customizations. The black flat top switch cap is an optical fibre terminal (idk its real name). Sits very tight and in VR it gives a distinct feel under your thumb. 5 buttons/switch positions are still unused. I'm assigning more controls next.
