Momentary switches are (mom)-Off-(mom) For latching it would be On-Off-On These would probably work: Salecom T80-T Z1 - 12mm Be careful not to accidently buy 6.35mm

You must have more than 1 Port on the back, use several Hubs (especially since you'd probably be mixing and downgrading USB speed) Also: I wouldn't suggest Wireless hubs, but that's just me And since you have a 'real' pit, I would think routing USB cables shouldn't be such a big problem? I mean, they jam in several miles of cables into a real cockpit

What controller are you using?

...so, has Moza updated the firmware to enable Virpil brake axis?

The only thing now is to wait for AMD to -as per usual, miss their opportunity and giving any advantage they could have over Intel away

Tell Jester to get out and push

@SharpeXB Can you handle a screwdriver, are able to identify sockets and plugs and install programs?

Nothing aggravating about DIY, you're usually busy checking out/reconfiguring a prebuilt a few hours as well Another option is to find a local shop with aftersales support

I don't paint myself as 'the PC/Software-tech' (and let's face it, the biggest headaches are the software problems) but the past 2 decades I got by the problems with smarts and a smartphone If you're like me, a 'home grown PC-Poker', no system problem is worth $1500 support money ~ I just went and specced a 'somewhat' comparable gaming rig in parts at a PC builder at a shop here in the Netherlands to check what that would cost me a 7800x3d, 4090, 6400/64gb Fury Ram, Asus X870e Strix, 2tb Fury M2, 1600w, Seasonic, system: (Yeah, EU, so prices in general are higher, but lets pretend $ and € are equal to even this out with currency conversion) 5400 including taxes, shipping + assembly by the shop (taxes equate to €930), discounting €100 rebates and free games FNW: 5900 excl taxes/shipping This system only differs from the Falcon North West in: I'm missing a custom Cable Mod set, value, say,... 250? Specced a Gigabyte Waterforce 4090 instead of NV FE , and since there is no custom cooler or case, I chose Corsair H170i 420mm and Asus Hyperion case as counters (A butt ugly cooler and case, but the point was, they were expensive, just as custom stuff tends to allow) So, arguably the better 4090 -at the least bragging rights for it being water cooled as well, bigger CPU cooler and the case allows expansion, so I had the ability to spec the 420 watercooler AND the Waterforce, not possible in the FNW and who knows what GPU's won't fit in the FNW case)

I've built PC's for friends, I'm not in IT, I do it for no cost (except a coffee or 3), I have fun doing it The question is always: "What kind of support" I'm sure there is no 'on site' help, and anything that can not be fixed over the phone will be needed to be send/picked up and you'll be without a system for a few days

I'm just a little too young to have witnessed this release 52 years ago: Imagining further game evolution, I dare not even try

Really? Try playing Cyberpunk at full fidelity (IOW: no Downsampling or Compensating with DLSS or FSR) No, games will eventually run into an endzone where they reached the limit of realism (or at least a level where diminishing returns become too great) Yes, but VR is the endzone anyway

No, but there is an added level of complexity attached It wasn't too long ago that a number more options were added to DCS visual settings Or simply the old fashioned min/maxing game guys with hardware always play: try to get the most out of your system Don't tell me pancake users don't do this? Not yet indeed, I already stated current VR tech is too much to run at max with current hardware

I'm with @sleighzy and @Qcumber (apart from the QVFR stuff, don't have experience with that) Dialing eye candy to mostly medium and doubling that ram, probably will help out a lot I found MSAA to be a huge detriment for performance with my 3060ti and simply left AA off entirely, upping PD somewhat instead (to the point I'd get no black flickers when panning my view) Dunno if that GPU will do a good job with DLSS without ghosting, might wanna SS the resolution in OpenXR instead (since it doesn't tax the GPU with extra frame gen)

Agree with the latter, disagree with the former Yes, pancake mode will let you get equal performance at 1/3rd of the specs VR needs (and admittedly, VR can't reach max performance with DCS with current tech) But to claim you need an above average system with constant dicking around in the settings to enjoy decent VR performance is untrue my 13600k with 3060ti was as mid-tier as it could get, but did pretty well all said and done No, it didn't have the pancake fidelity, and 45-ish FPS in MP was about the average performance, but I most definitely wasn't playing Doom on a 386sx, or constantly diving into settings to squeeze out that 1 extra FPS An extremely expensive system would run VR well beyond "mediocre" performance without constant tweaking, dial in what works, set and forget, enjoy 75+ FPS and quality eye candy

I found 2 of your Belgian brethren trailing me in Kola, very low on fuel, they were gonna attempt an carrier landing 1 made it ...Damn, those things are tiny

@hannibal Small search gave me this: So it seems there is the possibility?

Sorry (apart from having no module with a door gun), I'm neither a Sony, nor Software guy, I wouldn't even know if a 'rumble' controller works on PC with DCS I'm more the type of guy to tiewrap/duktape a console controller to my old G940

I find this somewhat amusing since an Xbox controller already has a grip ergonomic resembling a .50, my idea would be to somehow mount such a controller on a simple joystick with twist axis for more real-life-like operation But I always admire creative jury-rigging

of course it's still processing, there is no stock, therefore, no dispatch, therefore, no confirmation of shipment How is a company able to change a status when it's waiting on the most important thing before being able to advance? You see it, but misunderstand it, the whole 'processing' is the entire procedure, the last part in this procedure is the shipping, this entire procedure is subject to availability, that's where the asterisk does its job Sidenote: The term "processing your order" doesn't even guarantee you're purchase will be honored, they can just as easily cancel it "We processed your order, but due to [insert reason here] we can not deliver your this product" is a statement not alien to the world of business What do you think happened to a rejected mortgage request? ...it was processed by the bank and denied

I found a little friend:

Did you happen to notice the Asterisk? Now let's look at the shipping information on the site Lo and behold: Did you happen to notice the Asterisk? Here's a tip for the future: Read the fine print! If not only to save yourself from disappointment, but also to prevent yourself from venting your grievance publicly and then being rightfully accused of unjustified entitlement and misplaced indignation Before you ask: Yes, I'm talking from experience, and many of us have been there ...live and learn This time you look foolish over a simple sale, no casualties but perhaps your pride, next time it might be something more impactful, like your job contract

How so? It's a brand new product, production is just ramping up, this is no difference with new release GPU's being hard to come by (and those are much larger companies)

I would think motorized faders could function as mechanical indicators, though the bulky motors (for something narrow like the fuel flow meter even small motors are pretty voluminous) would probably need some creative placement/design
