I am, nice spot there. I just mapped the buttons in the A10 controls page. My mini stick was set to emulate bands and those were actually mapped to the radio switch. The hat used for the TGP was the one in front of the throttle where the real slew control is on the real jet. The mini stick on the X65F is tons better (bigger thus easier to manipulate) than the Warthog version, I just never used it for it's real purpose as I went for as close to real mapping as I could.

yes, it's taking me some time to adjust flying with a moving stick again, still over controlling but getting there. I'm a little apprehensive everytime I switch on my PC, expecting the thottle to die though :D

I said they feel like they want to break, not that they will. :music_whistling::P They just feel flimsy to me :joystick:

This youtube video is me flying it with the X65F, it was before I had my Warthog still.

Unless you own the X65F please do not slag something just because you're opinion says the other is better. I do own both and there is nothing wrong with precision on the X65F, in fact, I could fly more precise with it than I could with the Warthog. Also, switches on the throttle feels 100x better than those on the Warthog. For pete's sake, I feel like I'm going to break those buttons on the Warthog if I press too hard. Durability we will have to wait and see since both is still too new to really make an informed decision. The Warthog actually have a few reports out of throttle failures. The only issue I read about with the X65F is that some shipped with the stick not fully centered. Mine was perfect though. I agree, nothing beats the realism on the Warthog but then again, it was designed, replicating the A10 and you are using it in a A10 :music_whistling: Which one do I currently use? The Warthog because it talk to DCS A10 natively but between the two sticks I do not have a clear favorite.

It's called a FREDA check and he checks a little more than just speed and altitude. :music_whistling: F - Fuel quant check R - Radio freq check E - Engine temps and press check D - DI aligned A - Altitude check

Was wondering the same thing!

What's this doing in home cockpits though??

01508 Pretoria, South Africa

I think it's a little more involved than pulling a breaker in the cockpit :)

It's modelled after one aircraft type, same as every TM HOTAS before it, but usable in flying your trike in FSX as well of course.

Yeah, the Cougar was selling full price since inception till the Warthog was released, ie YEARS! Just bite the bullet and get one, it's the right thing to do :P

The lift formula will show that as you increase speed, so does lift, ie nose will rise. Just trim her out. If you change either your power or speed you will have to retrim for level flight. It's just how things work. On your second point, if you can afford a Warthog then dude, get some pedals man :P The Saiteks are cheap in comparison!

Nice. I haven't played with TB for ages. Might just give it a whirl with this again though.

:megalol::megalol: It's called Prestik around here. It's a sticky substance, not unlike bubblegum :thumbup:, but without the mess of course. Common use in South Africa to stick things to walls and such. Reason for it is I'm waiting for my Warthog to arrive and I'll mount that properly. I'll ask the wife to take some pics. The base is 20cm wide and there is ample space on the side for your legs to go past. It's pretty much exactly the width of my Saitek rudders so works perfect. The panels on the side, going forward needs some work since it's them my legs touch the most and cause some discomfort. You climb into the thing by standing on the chair and then sliding in, pretty much like the real thing :music_whistling: I use Thrustmaster MFD's

I built this over the weekend. Took me 2 hours and used $50 worth of material:) It's very much still WIP and I eagerly await my Warthog to mate it to 'the chair' as it's now called. Someone on another site commented that the first shot looked like a medieval torture device :megalol: The chair is not fixed to the main bench so I can move it to one side, slide in the comfy chair and work/play other things as well. I have now flown a few hours on it. mounted my Saitek X65 on it with Prestik. Also bought an extra keypad and uses that for the UFC numpad now. In the photo it's still mounted on the right console but I moved it to the left front panel next to the MFD last night and that works much better. Plenty work to do still.

I was testing my new cockpit chair and did this little video. In it I use markpoints to ripple fire (almost :music_whistling: ) two mavericks at two T52's. Then some low level stuff back to base. Does anyone know how to tell fraps not to record the second monitor?

How do you setup it in the ME then? As far as I could ascertain there was no 'begin loop' and 'end loop' actions anymore.

Current implementation of SF I believe is no client/drivers on your PC. You get 10 activations in total with each activation replenished after x months. So theoretically you will never run out unless it's installed by every tom dick and harry :D Pretty sure I read here somewhere that's how it now works.

It's called a spin and the A10 does it well. Pull nose up and let the speed drop below 140 and then kick full right rudder. She'll spin and you'll prob loose both engines from airflow disruption too. t least plenty of compressor stalls (watch the fan RPM gauges :) )

What will the source be of the two lights on the ground at the back? Just interested. It's not the strobe!

Why not just trying to install B3 over B2? I did that, with changes to options.lau for multi monitor support, and it worked flawlessly first time round. All I did before running B3 for the first time, after I installed it was to clear the temp folder.

In the J41, perhaps, in the DC10, very doubtful! Do not believe everything you hear in representations of these aircraft from PMDG and others. ;) In the Chieftain for example, an aircraft I fly regularly in RL gear extension is not very loud, and when done late in the approach (2 dots low on the ILS) when the speed is pretty much on Vref already the wind noise is not that drastic. In the C210 again in comparison, gear extension is very very loud. On the MD83 flights I've flown as self loading freight and sitting at the emergency exits over the wings, it was very very difficult to hear the gear going down. Flaps yes, gear, no. On the 732 again, gear extension is very prominent. Like someone already mentioned before, those sounds are most prob included in sim/games to make up for our lack of feedback you will get from being there for real. Like the 'click' when you drop a bomb for instance. Totally artificial I recon and not present in the DCS A10, or not my version at least.

You flying small stuff then right :music_whistling:
