Who are you, and why should we take your opinion seriously when it seems all you did was register here to make Virpil look bad For your 1 warning and more specifically, your 1 post, there are 100's of positive dealings with Virpil

I'm not talking about Blackouts, I'm talking about the apparently extreme force needed to maneuver the real M2000 when things get hairy This is not about expecting FFB to supply the actual force needed to move a stick, this is about 40kg stick force being unmanageable in real life situations

This image doesn't show any actual values, nor do we have any indication 'normal' control on the M2000 is 240N Moving 40kg with 1 arm isn't easy (I should know, been hauling 30kg parcels for over a decade and that was with 2 arms) Pilots are trained well, but no powerlifters And with 400N stick force, flying an M2000 in a dogfight would be the same as me in a 200m dash:, I might be surprisingly quick for a 30-year smoker, but a useless pile once over the finish line

Then that has got to be the lousiest fly by wire system ever put on an aircraft

170 days? Damned modern mechanics don't learn anything today, back in my day we'd get everything back up and running in 15 minutes with duct tape, a hammer and copious amount of profanity Regardless if this was a toaster or an attack helicopter, I mean, they're not 'that' different once you start pounding

Front canopy still looks pretty bad when the rain really hits, but you also see the director moved to the side of the launch rail, most probably for better visibility (unfortunately, our DCS directors aren't nearly as precise as the real guys anyway)

I always wondered why they never made an A1-Z99 type setup, it's how the comms menu works and keeps things in logical order (can still be graphically nice) Easier for programming keybinds as well I must admit, the pie menu for VR isn't 'all that' anyway, when it comes to movement, rather have a "book index" with simple up and down view because opening Jester with your head not centered, having to 'aim the pie slice' in the same direction you are looking, can go beyond the position you can move your head Would help if the target line follows the head movement (so when looking left, the 'sight' already has the line on the left pie slice and so for every direction)

Though I occasionally have a blackout (usually on the left 2 catapults) at launch, but it never gave me any problems as it dissipates before clearing the deck

Keep in mind that curves will not increase the speed of movement, that's dictated by the flight model, it will only change the character/feel of the throw of the physical stick 1:1 should give a clear indication what the rate is for the aircraft itself, want to roll faster, throw the stick fully sideways faster and it will roll as fast as the aircraft allows

Alas, I only have an F-18 version

Well, @Ghostrider142's screenshot is out the side canopy, from the front it's even worse Trying to line up for the cat from inside the cockpit is an exercise in futility, the track is impossible to see, and the instructor has no recognizable features

Agree, the WW TM conversion doesn't seem to have did numbers to justify continued sales

I'd say since Winwing recommends sole USB-device updates, having the ability to switch off any other peripherals is a definite pro

So,... care to explain how I had fluid frames with my 3060ti/13600k?

Is the PCIe set at the right speed in bios? and a thing in personal experience after installing my 4080s: My riser cable was not perfectly connected, which knocked down slot-speed to 1x Have you tried a few benches to see if this issue is repeatable in other environments than DCS?

Been using a Logitech trackball since 2000-ish The only downside to trackballs is the average resolution (around 10% of modern mice), but this is not an issue in DCS

I just tried the 'slight backstick' and I already noticed a lesser use of runway real estate for stopping

Just had this happen as well, vision turned grey, but as I was decreasing angle and almost levelling out, BANG! black

I can imagine a man and a crowbar can be highly motivated when his plums are on fire

Don't ask me the ins and outs, but yea, apparently, you can, we recently won a case and just received the entire inventory (including injection molds) from a Chinese company that illegally copied our products As for (if) any financial compensation we received, sorry, I'm not that close to the fire for those details

Not only approach Just simply setting up for hookup on the cat, I had to use outside view to see the crew signal 'Halt'

Meh, prehistoric tech, Electro-telekinesis control is the new interface ....Somehow Back to the future comes to mind: "You mean you have to use your hands?"

I got the 1st gen Virpil Mongoost and Winwing Orion2 here mounted side by side The Winwing doesn't feel flimsy, but the Virpil I can beat a man to death with it, wipe off the blood and put it back in my pit for some AAR practice Not so much with the WW and it's plastic casing breaking Though I must admit that the buttons, toggles and hats on the Virpil are more mushy, then again, it's the 1st gen and don't know if this has been improved over time

Hi Mike, we're about a year later, Being shot in the rear and having to bail via RIO (who should be just as dead as the pilot) every time, is getting kinda stale

How much RAM do you have? How large is your swap file (Is it on an SSD)?
