DTC for DCS - new version 7.2.0 - Apache added
RogueSqdn replied to SFJackBauer's topic in DCS Modding
Wow. I will definitely try this out today. I've been on a Viper kick the past several weeks, even got my Cougar throttle/TUSBA & Cubpilot HS working again and did the DeltaSim slew mod. I was tired of trying to get the Winwing throttle to work well for the Viper's antenna and manual range knobs, and I've stopped using Joystick Gremlin. I'm back to using only the built-in DCS control programming. I've been flying a Liberation campaign out of Ramat David. I think I'll set up comm channels and waypoints for the friendly airbases in theater. -
I’m on order 949, placed on 7/14. Any indication on when I could expect a shipment? Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Thanks. Yes, the Winwing panels are using their default mounts. The vertical post is mounted to the side of the base instead of the top as Monstertech's directions state. I originally did that to provide more leg room for wide rudder pedals. After getting the Winwing panels, I had to extend the keyboard tray out to the side to clear them. I've also moved my Koolertron panel today from the center post to a spot right behind the side stick, so I can drop my hand off the stick and quickly tap the buttons.

First new photo in quite a while... I'm made some changes over the last few months and thought I'd highlight them: First, a few months back I got the Razer Blackwidow v3 Mini Hyperspeed keyboard. This seems to be the sweet spot for me, a 65% board. I get to keep my arrow keys and the board is small enough to not be a pain to pick up and put in my lap to type. Thankfully, the pain I was experiencing in my left elbow has largely subsided over the last 6-8 months. Last week I ordered the new Phantom keycaps for it (a pudding type set that Razer put out). Also on the Razer front, I've added some of their grip tape to my Naga Pro. The docking station sits atop the vertical post on the left side, but has to be plugged straight into my powerstrip instead of the computer (as is the keyboard charging cable). I find that 1-2 joysticks will disconnect from Windows if more than two Razer devices are plugged in at a time. I use the same wireless dongle for both the keyboard and mouse, and the Tartarus Pro is the second device plugged in. Second, on the right side, I've gotten a Razer Goliathus XXL mousepad and cut it down to match the right tabletop. Looks like time to clean some dirt off it! Third, underneath that tabletop, I've mounted my old VPC T-50CM throttle in order to use the switches and knobs. I don't use the throttle handle, it's pushed all the way forward, though I do occasionally use the toggle switch on the left throttle. I use the two axis knobs for rudder trim and HMCS brightness, and use the encoders for stuff like SAI uncage and radar altimeter knobs. I use the guarded toggle for ejection seat arming. Fourth, just yesterday, I had the Simshaker Jetseat arrive. I've tested it in 2D briefly to ensure it works, but haven't flown it in VR yet. The very first thing I did after pulling it out of the box was to use a seam ripper to take the patch off the seat back. Originally it wasn't supposed to arrive until Monday, but I'm glad it came on Friday. Give me the whole weekend to use it! Fifth, I've gotten a replacement set of TPR rudders and adjusted my rudder platform to be perfectly horizontal. I've also gotten an old unused piece of 1/2" thick black plastic sheet from work and cut it down to be a new rudder platform. It's bolted to the 8020 profiles under it, and the pedals are screwed into the plastic with lag bolts and washers. Sixth, I got a pair of wall speaker mounts from Amazon and mounted them to the TV stand posts to get them off the floor. Seventh, I've added a small 9-key Koolerton keypad in front of my center stick. I use this for the ESC menu, briefing, pause, time acceleration, and ejection seat handle. I'll come up with other uses over time. Eighth, I've added a small USB volume control knob behind the throttle on the left side. Lastly, I've mounted the Monstertech wheel set underneath the cockpit frame. This allows me to shift the frame around a bit, which is handy in VR. I find my natural seating position doesn't always keep my view centered in VR. I think that about covers it!

I got my cable yesterday. It now works with my MB’s built in USB C port. I’ll have to get more flight time in to see if it fixes the audio and USB disconnects. I can say that it seems to have an easier time centering my view. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Thanks for posting this information... I came across it yesterday afternoon. I have a Crosshair Dark Hero motherboard and Ryzen 5950X, so I've constantly had these problems. I called in to HP yesterday and managed to get a new cable sent to me, but only after being redirected to different support departments SEVEN times. When I finally got the right person, I took down the department name and phone number, so if any of you haven't called yet: Workstations Team (800) 334-5144

Total Controls Button Box small review
RogueSqdn replied to MA_Goblin's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
I just ordered the box this week. As I have the Winwing combat and takeoff panels, I don't plan on using those handles. If that's the case, will the switches be ok as regular locking toggles? -
missing info Are autotrim and autopilot broken?
RogueSqdn replied to dporter22's topic in DCS: F-16C Viper
I’m a damn idiot. Still had the problem after remapping my controls. It was because the 3 ways toggle I use for autopilot pitch hold was activated. [emoji2357] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro -

Well I think I’ve got something corrupt in my Config folder. I deleted the whole thing and no longer had the problem. Tomorrow I’ll restore my other jets and remap the Viper, and hopefully that’ll take care of it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro -

RogueSqdn replied to dporter22's topic in DCS: F-16C Viper
I started having this problem recently. I tested all of my controllers one-by-one and still had the problem. I then uninstalled vJoy and the problem disappeared. I had been running vJoy 2.18.39. I downloaded and installed vJoy 2.1.9.1-160719, and the problem seems to have been fixed. YMMV Edit: my mileage varied. Problem is back after plugging everything back in. Still happens if o uninstall vJoy. When I load a mission X/Y axes are in top left corner and wheel brakes are on. There are not any double mappings. -
I did it myself. There was a steel post under the seat that I had to cut, then I cut the foam out, and sewed black fabric to cover it, by hand. I've recently gotten a new chair, inspired by a post on reddit. This is a Jegs 18" wide aluminum racing seat, with 3" foam back and seat cushions (and an old throw pillow under the seat cushion for comfort). A few months back, my mom (who is retired and only lives 5 miles away) asked me to order a sewing machine for her. My only request was that she make some seat covers for me. She did, and sewed zippers into them so I can replace the foam when it wears out. This seat, combined with the foam, sits far enough forward that I didn't need a notch for my flight stick. Here's the result:

FWIW, I've mapped the ATC and notes pages to shifted directions on a joystick hat, and also the tab prev/next options. Info on doing this is in the VAICOM manual.

I second it, CASE III is now working. Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I just tried this, after doing the VAICOM update and a reset LUA code, and also got no CASE III notes in the kneeboard.

I originally started out with the VPC pedals. The heel plate here is the Monstertech floor plate, cut down. I recently switched back to the TPR pedals, and had to have a bigger heel plate. I found an unused piece of 1/2 inch thick black plastic at work and used that. The small vertical posts that hold the front of the pedals up are 100mm profiles I got from 8020.net. I wanted the front of my pedals raised to more comfortably rest my forearm on my thigh when flying center stick. Here's the full cockpit as of now:

Community Keybinds Project?
RogueSqdn replied to Munkwolf's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
Thanks to both of you for your work on this. I got the Command Injector working last weekend. I'll spend a little time this weekend integrating these commands. -
This issue seems to have fixed with 2.7, and the movement of several commands to UILayer. Personally, I think everything from the General category should be in UILayer, as well as Active Pause.
