Kickswitch

@MAXsenna Ok FF works in DCS. Thank you for all your help! Cheers, Kick

Is this what you mean by direct input? and I see Telemetry also up top. It gives me a warning on switching over from integrated to directinput - After reading the warning message I'm guessing that DCS prefers it's own direct settings for FFB? Just want to be sure before I switch Yeah that makes sense.

@NAM I just tried IL2 GB and FF works! Unfortunately not in DCS or BMS. So the base itself is ok, looks like a config issue maybe within DCS itself? I tried force test thank you for the link. @MAXsenna Yep buttons work in DCS and game controllers. Tried FFB in A10c and F5e also A4e mod no FF at the moment. P.S sorry if I came across as surly thank you both for your help. So long as it works in one game I ought to be able to work out it out somehow. I also check the special options for a10c and f5e - I see some options in there for the a4e and f5e that are specific to FF.

Yeah mate I turned that on

I bought an AB9 base recently - arrived today - and connected the MH16 Flight stick to the Ab9 box. I can see a light on the ab9 power supply a green blacklit "MOZA" I have only one wall socket for power so I use a multiple plug power board and the ab9 box is plugged into that not the wall socket. The ab9 shows up in "Set up usb game controllers" in the control panel but not the MH16 Stick. I have a screenshot of this attached. There are six hardware devices for flight sims plugged in, 5 showing one not. AB9, HOG Throttle, rudder pedals, MFDs 1 & 2 I've heard that power for this base should be connected to a wall socket that can handle 110 to 220v the base isn't though in my case. I'm not sure why the stick isn't showing in usb controllers. I have installed the moza config software and done a torque calibration but at this point am at a complete loss as to why Force feedback isn't working, the stick works in flight just no FF Cheers

Ground life I'd like to see a mission briefing with a 3d room and an officer telling you what your mission is, you can review your flight assignments with your wingmen and talk to loadout guy about loadout if thats how they do it in the military I don't know maybe someone could clarify that for me. As well as in flight reactions to orders and dialogue a bit like a Freespace 2 mission or 1 for that matter. This would work well with flaming cliffs as its a very scripted game. The only problem would be how radical a change would this be and would it be suited to another game altogether a new one for instance but that's as may be. If you've every played Wings of Glory you know what kind of game this would be. It is immersion that's the key factor here. Sure you could just have a text briefing but where's the sport in that as monty python says in the mosquito hunting sketch! and you should as someone said previously on this thread be able to walk around the airbase aka Take on Helicopters and climb into the plane - that would be my ideal sim, with the advanced flgiht models missile bevahiour which is new etc. of course. But these are mre than just bells and whistles they are essential in my opinion for a sim which hasn't got that missing experience feel. One final thing. Simulators have ignored these aspects for too long when was the last sim you played that had this and a great storyline We all slap around about realism but whats realistic as well is characters and virtual pilots who talk to you not just flight models in fact without characters it's more or less an empty shell imagine bridge commander or star trek the series for that matter with probes with no one on board. Don't mean to be harsh but that's my opinion and I have always stuck by it.

Got MFCD's working on second monitor nice but now main cockpit is warped As my subject heading suggests I was trying with two monitors to get the mfcd's to appear on the second monitor in my setup, was successful with that but unfortunately now my cockpit appears to be warped and let me describe that in the best way possible with words. The mfcd's are both appearing on the right hand monitor successfully but on my main monitor the normal view you'd see of the cockpit appears to be elongated so that all the instruments are squashed down making for a very narrow view and a small hud. Not sure what demon i conjured up but help would be appreciated. I have attached a screenshot as of the two screens on the right there's no mfcd because the screenshot doesn't register the other screen but on the left the main display you can clearly see it doesn't display the normal cockpit I suppose aspect ratio if you will - it's warped as you can see. here is also attached a lua script file of my monitor setup if that helps. Cheers My example.lua

Figured it out Well I seem to be able to start them up fine in campaign missions and others it's only a problem with the mfcd's not displaying during a mission editor mission could it be something to do with ground power, either way i sort of figured it out

MFCD's won't display on startup Had a look around the forum couldn't find the answer to this question. Question is - Why won't my MFCD's display any information when I am starting up the plane, I tried increasing brightness and toggling day/night switch but no luck Thanks in advance
