Doesn't the Winwing Orion2 have a 3 position dial w/push (and Taurus PSU a 4 pos. dial)?

I love the detent options, and the configurability of the buttons Unfortunately, if I look at the planes I fly (F-14/Spitfire/Harrier), this unit is severely lacking in lever/slider axis compared to an Orion2

Latest activity on Reddit was six months ago and their site seems to be unregistered, so if you're saving up for that, there's a big chance you'll be saving a long time (But at least you'll have saved enough for a real HOTAS at a certain point )

You can't simply put on the cover, but have to replace the switch as well?

I use this function to trigger Fuel Cutoff/Afterburner in my F-14

Any local print shop should be able to do your own custom stickers Any decent printshop might also have a choice in sticker material/strength

Mind you I have the CM1, but still applies I use it as 5-way AND shift state for the F-14 As a 5-way it selects Take off, Cruise, A/A, A/G and Landing switches on the right panel while the Shift State assign the 2x4 and 3 momentary toggles to the specific functions required in those modes I did a (somewhat out of date) topic on this:

So, been browsing for ideas and options for building my own button box There is hardware enough to be found for whatever function I can think of, but I guess the biggest problem is coming up with a layout, where one solution fits all (especially since I fly VR, where a button glance won't work) Then I came across this: Now I don't think anyone will be reconfiguring such a thing every time they switch modules on a regular basis, but the idea alone that you can mimic whatever (favorite) cockpit layout, or build a button box where you can experiment/replace/move switch locations/types without having to painstakingly disassemble everything while trying the best config, sounds like a win to me

I don't think you're gonna see your money's worth Well, you wouldn't have to ditch the memory with D4 mainboards

On the contrary, the base prices when doing a search on Ali makes it look cheap, but that's false advertising Because that $xx dollars displayed is the desk mount, when you actually click the link and select the product, you're looking at a $xxx+ button box Example: null (Yes, that's for a simple Made in China mount) Or how about Etsy: Now compare that to this: Or this I guess, the good news in this, is that this improves the position the likes of companies like Virpil, Winwing, Thrustmaster, DSD, the garage-builders etc. And look, I have a Virpil, VKB, Thrustmaster, Logitech setup here, so it's not like I'm unwilling to spend money on a hobby

It was to confuse the Germans, letting them think the aircraft was slapped together in a hurry and would perform badly Now I nevere dived into it, so don't quote me on this The pump is probably not (made) powerful enough (for power and size/weight reasons probably) to retract both wheels at the same time, so the system runs 'in sequence' allowing all power to one, then all power to the other, instead of half power to both, benefit would be that there is more power available to overcome resistance for each leg Then again, it could simply be the hydraulics following the path of least resistance

Just a bit of a rant. Don't get me wrong, everyone's entitled to ask for their product what they want. But it's been a while since I was looking at additions to my pit and last I checked, things were 'affordable' (Guess simracing got pretty popular). But now, if I reflect this to say a Logitech switch panel (which has a rather niche application) for roughly $100 (Tops), I'm rather amazed at what people are asking for a simple unlit enclosure with a few buttons, whether this be the good folks of the CCP or the "I make extras" DIYers. Want a few more buttons? That money could also get you an Elgato MkII, which is customizable (of course this doesn't do when you also want rotaries or sliders) but by then we're already out of the zone of simple and cheap boxes Well, at least it gives me the motivation to get a bag of 10 ct switches, rip open the carcass of my X-55 and/or G940 and go to town with a soldering iron.

I had the exact same issue Thought about repairing it ...I just shelled out cash for a Virpil rudder, because Saitek is absolute crap (already had to fix my X55 rhino when all wires to the throttle broke) Apart from a better quality rudder pedal, it's also night and day difference in smoothness compared to the Saitek

You gave the answer yourself: That doesn't sound like someone bored/fed up with their current set up Put that $$$ in something other for your rig

I remember jury-rigging my own with a piece of plastic, 3 IR leds, an old powersupply and a PS Eyecam cam where I ripped out the IR filter Was done under $40 Regardless the cost, it was a huge improvement over FTNOIR

Thank you

Hi all. Just a question whether running DCS desktop on the iGPU HDMI (if possible) will free up some memory/fps on the GPU for VR? (And if it's as easy as switching primary monitor in Windows)

Well, got really irritated with loosing connection/USB (dis)connect beeps when not playing, nothing available on short notice, so rode to the local PC shop to see what they got Asked to see a few hubs and try them with USB cables, see which ones were the most sturdy, and ended up with 2 i-tec 7-ports 3.0 hubs Didn't need 7-ports, but they were (surprisingly) cheap, and allowed for putting some extra non-data USB gadgets under an on/off switch Bonus cleaning up the furball of wires hanging off the back of my PC null

I went from Saitek Combat Rudders to Virpil's Ace (Considered MFG, but every time I checked they were out of stock, ...so were the VPC, but scored a big discount on those) Man, I should have done that a lot sooner (especially since one of the toe brakes stopped functioning on the Saitek just out of warranty but luckily, i wasn't flying planes with toebrakes) The difference is night and day

But the topic title is in error The issue described isn't spotting, but identification

Nice I'd try to keep the bandwidth sharing to a minimum My MB has 10x 3.2 (8x 5GHz, 2x 10 GHz) on the back, 4x 2.0 bracket from the internal connector Looking at the block diagram, I'm pretty sure those 8x 5GHz are 2x 4 ports shared bandwidth (the 2.0 most certainly), the 10 GHz are dedicated Luckily, I also have a 4x 3.0 (dedicated 4x chipset) from the Startech PCIe card Got another 4x 3.2 ports in front if need be, and I could use the Front USB C 20 Ghz internal connector and TB internal connector on the MB for another USB adapter bracket ...and still have a 1x PCIe open for another card Currently running 12 usb peripherals (of which 4 on a hub), so I've got more than i need A Z790 has a ton of possibilities, but I wonder where the USB power limit lies (and don't want to find out, had this issue with a MSI Z370 board in the past)

Great! Also looking around my own gear, I totally forgot I have a Startech USB card, and they also seem to offer a few Hub options

Hi All. I've got a few peripherals that require an extension Though I may have enough 3.0 USB ports on my system, I also have a boatload of peripherals, as I don't want to exceed the MB USB powerdelivery, I'm not willing to simply extend cables And the trouble I have with my current hub, is that the connectors are cheap and not really doing a great job keeping the gear connected So I'm looking for quality over quantity No bottlenecks due to the hub itself Good power delivery Connectors are solid USB A connection I don't need 100 connections, 2x a 3 or 4 port is more than enough If they happen to have a powerswitch, that'd be a great bonus What are some of the brands/types I should be looking at? Thanks!

Yeah, axis are too sensitive, and encoders take ages to turn

Might be an idea to name the brand/type
