After the improvements I got in FPS on the last beta, I blocked Oculus software from internet access with the Windows firewall to keep it from updating again. [emoji6] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

FWIW, I got that message the other day BEFORE doing anything with PointCTRL. May be a separate Oculus software issue. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Okay, so I'm opening this package and looking at all the stuff... and not knowing where to start. Is there a post that tells how to actually physically install the HMS and get started? The videos only seem to cover FCU operation and calibration. EDIT: Idiot me, page 14 of the PDF.

Good question. I’d be interested in that as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

New VR Pointing Device Thanks for the tips. [emoji106] It was Diet Dr Pepper, not beer. I don’t drink, the Air Force got that out of my system. [emoji6] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Can you please go ahead and provide the dimensions of the stick and the throttle base with panel installed? The drawing on your website appears to only give dimensions when using the desk mounts.

New VR Pointing Device Well here's a finished (for now) photo. Maybe it's my imagination, but I'm having an issue getting the monitor level. The bubble level says it's great; my imagination says otherwise. ;) So, a list of what you see: 1. 42" Insignia TV, 1080p. Used it with the Obutto and see no reason to upgrade. 2. Bose computer speakers (L/R only, no fancy setup) 3. TrackIR5. Still used if I fly without VR, or in BMS. 4. Thrustmaster TPR pedals. I just got them last week and haven't flown with them yet. I used to use the Saitek Combat Pedals. 5. Logitech G513 Carbon w/GX Blue switches. I'm a keyboard nut, and this may be my last one. Love it. The keyboard tray is attached to the old Obutto rotating mount. The mousepad is a XXXL mousepad from Amazon that covers the whole tray, about 37x15". 6. Logitech G600 mouse. I use the side buttons for cut/copy/paste/home/end/task view, etc. 7. RealSimulator FSSB R3 with Warthog grip. 8. (covered up next to trash can) another Warthog grip that has a 15 degree offset tailpiece adapter installed (not needed if I use an extension, though), and VPC T-50CM2 grip. Waiting on VPC WarBRD grip and VFX F-14 grip. 9. VPC WarBRD base with 10cm extension and TM F/A-18C grip. The joystick stand is built on a toilet flange and 3" PVC pipe. I took some extra fabric left over from the chair and covered the flange with it. 10. Passenger seat from a 1995 Mustang, $30 at the junkyard, and a $24 seat cover set from Amazon (came with 4 covers). The seatbelt loop I left on as a handy place to hang 11. Oculus Rift S. 12. iPad Mini 4 with a OneTigris slip cover in Multicam. The Lightning cable is ran to a charging port on my USB hub (located behind the seat) 13. VPC T-50 throttle. The new T-50CM throttle is on order. I cannibalized the F/A-18C comm and TDC knobs from an old Thrustmaster TWCS and hot-glued them on the switches on the VPC throttle. 14. Warthog throttle, hidden inside the left console when not in use. I can unmount the VPC throttle easily when I want to switch. The WH throttle has the DeltaSim TDC upgrade. 15. A cheap volume control USB knob I got off Amazon, since the keyboard lacks a dedicated volume control, and I hate using the FN key to do so. 16. The other cannibalized Obutto part, the cupholder. 17. Two wireless trackballs, one righty and one lefty, from Elecom, via Amazon. 18. My six-year old Falcon NW Mach V. Due to be replaced next year, hopefully. I wouldn't be able to afford it, but it's within reach due to unfortunate reasons (VA disability). You can also see hints of my Braves bobblehead collection and USAF headgear. The cockpit surfaces that are gray are outdoor carpet from Lowes that was $0.50/sq ft, and have a bonus of sticking to Velcro. I plan on covering the side console with some of my patches (48FW being the big one). Whew! Distraction over, Miles! ;) Hopefully I can get started with PointCTRL tomorrow. I haven't flown in almost two weeks, having been working on this cockpit that long (and sweating myself silly doing it in North Carolina heat!). I would normally wait for cooler weather to do something like this, but I'm due for another knee surgery next month and wanted to get this done before then.

Cockpit is put together and working now. Not happy with keyboard tray solution at first (reusing Obutto Mount). I may just use keyboard in lap until I come up with something. Probably won’t get to test PointCTRL tonight... the Braves are on. [emoji6]️ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I used a knife to cut the foam and a hacksaw to cut the steel frame. Tiring but not too difficult. The pain was last night, when I had to sew in black fabric I bought to cover the hole after the car seat cover I bought wouldn’t work out on its own. I don’t yet know for certain about the sides, but at some point I may install some switches, with an eye towards both commonality among aircraft and necessity of having tactile feedback. Also of need will be switches for some FC3 functions. Which brings me to a question. I remember seeing at some point there were going to be zones outside your POV that you could click and have a function execute. Is that still the case? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Something woke me up just now, but here’s a link. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks. I don’t want it to distract from the thread subject though, so I suggest you look at /r/HOTAS on Reddit for now, where I’ve posted more details. Later on I’ll put a thread on the ED Forums showing everything. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

At this rate it’s going to be a few days before I get everything up and running.... This is wearing me out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

New VR Pointing Device Pleased to report that I received PointCTRL #79 today! Not pleased to report I am still working on my new cockpit. Design and construction are done, just working on assembly. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hoping to start painting on cockpit tomorrow. The only thing I’ve got left to build is the monitor mount. Hopefully I’ll have everything done by the time PointCTRL arrives next week. [emoji106][emoji41] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[HomerSimpson]WOOHOO!!![/HomerSimpson] PM sent.

TPOD in VR I had the same problem until I realized I had an ALE47 mod installed. Try making sure none of your mods are affecting this (unfortunately I can’t remember the file name right now). It’s something in the CoreMods folder. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wow, that’s awesome Miles. Enjoy it, it feels awesome. I’ve been wanting it for 20 years (I loved the Suncom stick). I saw you are making more per batch. Does that mean you’ll serve more than 10 at a time? (I’m #79). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

WINWING F/A-18C HOTAS 2019.5.29 RELEASE Unfortunately, no. That includes the desk mounts, and doesn’t give the height of the console. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Looking forward to it. I would like to request though that you release the dimensions of the throttle console ASAP. I’m working on a cockpit project, partially because of your throttle. I want to try and get my project done quickly because of an impending knee surgery. Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My FPS have vastly increased... from 40 in Caucasus to 80. From 25 in Dubai to 40. :thumbup:

I’m #79 so I’m starting to get excited. Knee surgery at the VA on 9/16 and won’t be able to fly for several weeks after (man cave is upstairs), so I’m hoping it comes before then. [emoji106] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

WINWING F/A-18C HOTAS 2019.7.3 RELEASE I’m assuming the blank spots in this statement are because of Chinese characters. I guess I’ll know for sure when I check my account tomorrow. Edit: looking at this statement, “processes order” could mean anything. Winwing, can we get some clarification please? Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m sorry I can’t help you on that, except to say that I ordered from my iPhone and had no issue. Have you set up an account with Winwing and saved an address first? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
