I'm looking for around the £1400 mark and this is all being sold as a bundle rather than splitting it. If you're in Cornwall/West Devon I can probably arrange to deliver it to you myself but any further would me you collecting from close to Falmouth.

I haven't flown Cage The Bear for a long time but from memory it's a lone F-14, I've used this method on multiple hot start missions without issue.

Haven't tried it with this mission in particular but I have opened other missions in the mission editor and changed the player aircraft to a cold and dark aircraft. I'm not at my PC at the moment but from memory open the mission editor go to File>Open navigate to the folder that contains the Cage The Bear mission (can't remember if they're in the DCS folder or the saved game folder sorry) click on the player aircraft on the carrier deck and edit it so you have to go through start up. Then File>Save As and give it a name. If you get stuck I'm happy to load it up and write it step by step.

Boxed with all manuals Unused hand controllers. I have had to buy a new V2 cable recently so that is also included. It has been used once to test it. £180 posted. If you're within an hour of Falmouth I can drop it off for £170.

@HungryHarveyapologies I've only just seen this. I still have it and have also had to purchase a brand new V2 cable due to a scammer on ebay. If you're still interested feel free to send me a PM. I'm looking for £210 posted. I live a few miles from Falmouth in Cornwall. If you're anywhere near can deliver it.

Thanks for you reply, I've stripped the insides of the base itself in the past and a few other peripherals but usually have guides to follow or an idea of how things come apart. I can't figure how this comes apart though. Virpil are going to have it back to change it instead.

I set ny Collective base up over the weekend to have a go with the Chinook. Both my grips (Hawk60 and Apache) are being very temperamental. It's taking a lot of fiddling each time I start my PC and install the grip to get the light then buttons to work. I think there's some dust or something in the cable. I've used a pin to try and remove anything in there and thought I'd cracked it last night but after removing the grip to test this morning it's back to fiddling to get it connected. Has anyone replaced one of these before that could give me some guidance on what cable to buy and how to do it please? I've asked Virpil and they've said it'll need to go back to them but as it's out of warranty I don't want to shell out if I can do it myself. Thanks

in the 7 years or so I've been playing DCS this is the first time a module I've wanted hasn't been available on Steam pretty much immediately. Same for the update. They usually land at the same time so this is unusual in my experience, saying that so is a patch late on a Friday night. I have noticed the CH-47 has a page on Steam now which it didn't when I looked at about 9pm but can only add to wishlist at the moment so assuming the patch hasn't released yet either.

Thamks @MAXsenna. I spoke to Virpil and they said it shouldn't have been possible to do it so seems like it was a fortunate quirk of my previous installation sadly.

Haven't heard of one, the AVA base has those rings you can swap to limit the travel that look like the ring on the WH wonder if one of those would fit? Edit: Just had a look at the AVA those rings are called Masks I think.

I'm really interested in this base. Particularly for flying Helicopters. My CM3 isn't smooth around the centre, even with the springs and Cams removed. Nyogel improved it but it's still virtually impossible to go smoothly diagonal from the centre. How is this base compared to the CM3? Do any of you that have it also have the CM3? Can you give your thoughts on this please?

Thanks for that @Rogue Trooper. I did the opposite with mine started from fully tight and released them. Got to be honest your way makes a lot more sense .

I raised a ticket with Virpil and they said they'd never seen this issue, sadly mine was out of warranty but as part of the discussion with them I tried it without the CB and had the same problem. I completely removed this central shaft and reseated it. Once I'd put it back together and reinstalled the CB the movement is pretty much gone. I think I may have unseated it when I put on the CB kit.

Hi, A couple of months ago I had to reinstall Windows 10 and then recalibrate my Virpil bits. Prior to this I could swap between the Hawk60 and Apache Grip for the collective base and the VFX and Warthog/Hornet grip for the CM3 base without have to re recalibrate it. Since reinstalling Windows though everytime I swap a grip on either device the device isn't recognised and I have to run through the calibration in the VPC software again. Does anyone know why? Is there a setting perhaps? Thanks
