Make sure to backup C:\Users\YOURUserNameHere\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Config\Input\FA-18C_hornet as well, otherwise you're gonna have a bad time and have to rebind everything in game once you reinstall. I personally add this folder to my google drive sync so that way I never forget and do a zip archive for extra insurance...I've had a windows 10 install get corrupted and not having that was no fun. If you also play MSFS 2020, luckily those are all saved via steam cloud backup. (if thats where you purchased the game).

my latest order took 3 months to arrive...gotta be patient when ordering from VIRPIL.

I agree...my rc helicopter flying days (prior to simming) paid off. https://www.miponline.com/mip-rc-tools has a nice set for the 2.0mm, 2.5mm, 3.0. I haven't found a place to get 4mm and +

I am also looking for this...just purchased the SimShaker SM and setup SS for Aviators. I mainly fly F/A 18C.

I had the same issues with windows 11 wanting to map everything to OneDrive/Documents Desktop...it drove me mad...so I removed it as I don't utilize OD anyway and have custom powershell scripts that automate removing all the bloatware/crap for 11 anyway. If you want to explore this then I employ you to visit: https://github.com/undergroundwires/privacy.sexy. Also OO ShutUp 10+ works for win11 as well. Anyway...back on topic: there is a registry edit that needs to be made, and you need to modify a subset of folders to map windows away from OD even when it is disabled. First, I would follow this guide if you want to just disable it, but I used PS to remove it entirely. (make sure to unlink it first or it'll cause problems). Simply removing / uninstalling / killing OneDrive doesn't stop it's madness. You need to dig deeper. Unlink: (right click OD in taskbar on the right) Utilizing: Win key -> run -> gpedit.msc https://www.elevenforum.com/t/enable-or-disable-onedrive-in-windows-11.2318/ NOTE: you need to have a Windows 10/11 Pro + license to use gpedit, otherwise you can only do this via registry edits. Windows Home doesn't have this functionality by default. In the guide above, they also did not notate a new DWORD that exists...it's labeled "DisableLibrariesDefaultSaveToOneDrive" I set that to a value of 1. (it tells you what it does in the title itself). Additionally, you need to browse to: Win key -> run -> regedit to modify the following directory --- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders Once there, you'll see file structure mappings. They'll likely be mapped to some variant of OneDrive, I simply modified them to: C:\Users\%USERPROFILEGOESHERE%\Documents. (%userprofile% is your name for win10/11) You can also modify videos, music, favorites, pictures, downloads, desktop etc etc as they will likely be linked to the OD Folder. Boom, now you no longer have OneDrive and all the nightmares that come from mapping things anymore with Windows 11. (atleast for me). Use something better like Google Drive, Dropbox...or whatever else to backup/sync.

Hackable - Everyone stores your information on the internet, including DCS in mongodb, mysqldb, aws rds, etc etc..it will vary based on the orgs infra....every account on the internet is "hackable", there are no fool proof methods to 100% without a doubt secure anything. People are the weakest link. Enable 2FA to mitigate this risk vector - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/account-billing/how-to-use-two-step-verification-with-your-microsoft-account-c7910146-672f-01e9-50a0-93b4585e7eb4 Internet Needed - You don't need the internet to log into your computer on Windows 10/11, with a Microsoft account. They would like you to think that. You can create a local account by Win + I (Windows 11) -> Accounts -> Other Users -> Add other user -> I don't have this person's info -> Add a user without a Microsoft account -> Now you're at the local account creation page. Shared password - Don't share it, pretty simple here. Use the method above to create them their own account, utilize Win + R -> gpedit.msc to create a restrictive environment for said user so that can't do anything, or only what you want them to. Less privacy - True, however...https://www.privacy.sexy/ (https://github.com/undergroundwires/privacy.sexy) has completely customizable scripts for your everyday user to gain that back, as well as utilizing something like OO-Shutup 10++ (google it). Synced settings - Only if you want them to...utilize the tools above to mitigate that. Locked out of accounts - Not a big deal if you're using your real information, only an issue if you're trying to obfuscate that info for some reason...if you're that person, then you know what you're doing and have thought of that possibility. Installation of Win10/11 without internet - easily bypass-able. Here is a guide - https://pureinfotech.com/bypass-internet-connection-install-windows-11/ or utilize the wifi trick. Anyway, thanks for this amazing tool, just found it.

VIRPIL Constellation Alpha Prime R, T-50CM3 Throttle, ACE Pedals Setup: Zip: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cWJfr2-bBQDZue0pfpoEdm83hcXmo9xX/view?usp=share_link I spent some time modifying this...original credit goes to https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3319673/ Edit: Added new v1.1 The old v1.0 is still there if wanted in the zip archive. Also located here: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3326536/ v1.1 Changelog: ---------------- Corrected Rudder Ace Pedal Axis (was not inverted, needed to be...brakes were applied 100% all the time lol) Added deadzone for left+right thrust of 9%, converted to slider....now idles the engines at 67% RPM instead of 72% which will make it less annoying when staging (engines in idle) if the parking brake is off because it would move forward at a slow pace. Fixed uncage/cage button as it wasn't mapped correctly per the image. Added VPC Panel 1 + 2 Binds, but no ref charts yet.
