I did exactly that. Reason, I missed the moving stick. I think the X65F is a great stick, i just had this annoying habit of resting my flying hand on the base in straight and level and on this stick it would cause a roll input. Cannot fault the stick otherwise. Still have it also, cannot get myself so far to sell it.

How many buttons do you get with the CH MFC? $190 is pricey! :( but prob a good quickfix for a cockpit builder.

what will you use to send the keypress to DCS?

That easy huh? :thumbup: Could you explain the mechanics behind it? Normal grid coord is 10 digits and this was 5. Just interested.

I'm still having issues with coordinates I get from JTAC. The simple mission I setup to test it only gives me GF30880 as a grid ref. When I try to enter that I get a CDU INPUT ERROR. Please help! Mission file attached. aa.miz

Unlocked in A10 but locked in Black Shark.

Ordering, thanx

Going to give it a bash this afternoon. Thanx

Can you ship to South Africa? It's not selectable in the country list.

Bragging rights :D

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.
