    Well, my engine has quit on me three times. Once, like I ran out of gas, with the engine windmilling, I switched tanks, and it would not start again. I paused the game, checked all the gauges, and saw that everything was in the green and with a full tank of gas. The next two times, the engine seized up on me, and the gauges were all in the green as before. The second little Easter egg I found is that it will not turn left while taxing on shore, it turns right just fine... I immediately checked my curves, which are the same for all my modules, and then went to the Jug to test it, and it turns left with the brakes just fine. My third little Easter egg was that there are no Comms commands. I use Voice Attack, and the first action in the command line is to press RAlt + \ for radio calls. Well, it's not there in the Corsair Settings GUI; the backslash is there (\), but nothing else for communication with the game. After that, with a few select curse words, I put the Corsair to bed because there was no further reason to mess with it. I also did three repair functions on it, two quick ones and a long one with all Mods turned off. The Mods were all off for the third engine seizure, the brakes not working, and the Comms RAlt + \ issues. All the guys in my group are having the same problems, plus a few I hadn't experienced before. I find it hard to believe a group of beta testers could miss issues this significant. Now, how long do we wait for a fix?

    How many different asset packs are there to Massun's pack? I'm still trying to play some old A-4E missions and I'm either missing some Massune pack item or a Tetete item... It's frustrating as hell when these threads become all convoluted and you don't know what you are missing.

    The PTO2 comes with the two mounting brackets, your going to need four T-Slot nuts in M5 and four M5 x 45 screws. Two on each side of tour 4080 extrusion. I would suggest downloading the manual from WinWing for the PTO2. And looking at MTSIM for their T-slot nuts. You can probably get them faster off Amazon. The M5 cap nut screws you can find at any hardware store. Look for 4080 extrusion hardware on Amazon. But definitely go look at the manual for the PTO2. And MTSIM s manual assembly of the MIP to 4080 desk mount.

    Well, I don't have a problem with braking or turning in the Corsair. The curve I use is a J curve (something I used on the throttle in TARGET) and it works great. 0 90..... acts as a dead zone 0 -35..... The J curve The 90 is a dead zone at the top... What I have issues with is the spastic trim, especially the rudder trim. The slightest adjustment is like kicking the rudder pedals. I've tamed it somewhat with extreme axis curves. But don't get me started with low speed handling...... It is what it is; very early access, hopefully it gets fixed sooner rather than later. Because it has great potential......

    Yes, I created a Tech folder for some of Gregory's mods. I can make a OVGME package for it now. Thanks
  8. _Hoss
    Got it........... Now where in the saved games folder does it go so I can build an OVGME mod file. I don't install mods directly into the game. So if I have conflicts they are easy to remove and troubleshoot issues. Thanks
  9. _Hoss
    Where exactly does this mod get installed, the read me contains no directions as to where to install the mod.......
  10. _Hoss
    Okay, how do you download this thing, I got a receipt in my email, hit the Massun92 thing and it takes me back to the original post wanting me to buy it again. Talk about the run around....

    I'm not sure why some are having problems with the Corsair turning during taxi.... If I'm not careful I do donuts turning onto the runway. I usually have to lock the tail wheel to taxi straight, other wise I'm all over the place. I had problems with the weapons selection screen not being able to right click and choose my ordnance. I reinstalled and that fixed my problem. I'm not saying this will fix anyone elses problem, but it's something to look at. I have to admit I'm a bit disappointed that the Fuel tank selector rotary along with the magnetos was not fully implemented with GUI rotary movements instead of the + or -, And the rudder trim needs toned down as well, small movements on my trim box is like kicking the rudder pedal hard. But it flies much better now with some of the drag problems fixed, it would get so slow it just wallowed in the air with ordnance slung on it, formation flying was out of the question. Looking forward to when it's as much fun to fly as the Jug is now.

    The fuel tank selector rotary, and magnetos switch are still + or - . The gunsight brightness is finally an axis. The correction to drag with loadouts are nice, it doesn't wallow as bad anymore.

    Ebay..... is where I got mine

    Go to the Thrustmaster website, they have two different extensions for sale now. A straight one like you are looking for with 0 -30 degree offset, and a curved one.. SimFab also makes three different lengths for the Thrustmaster sticks. You can find extensions on ebay too, that's where I got my 100 mm straight, and 200 curved extension...
  15. _Hoss
    Make sure you test the three different collars, too. I've got the long stick, so I'm using the small collar. And you do know how to calibrate it after you change components right?...
  16. _Hoss
    Do you mean the Falcon(F-16), Warthog (A-10) stick?.... or the Hornet (F/A-18) stick?... There is a Viper TQS throttle system (F-16), I have the seperate Viper Panel button box... on my right side... and I like the Hornet stick the best. When you received your AVA base did it come with the new dampers already installed?, and with the FBW cams included?.. I didn't like the FBW cams at all, I might try them again and turn down the spring tension and compensate with the new dampers..... But I'm still using the Jet cams, and hard springs, with a 200 mm curved extension. It feels much better with the dampers installed.
  17. _Hoss
    Make sure you have all the latest drivers, even TARGET has been updated. I have the AVA base with an F/A-18 stick on it, and when I updated the drivers my RSMapper software kept giving me hiccups. Go into Thrustmaster Control panel (Start/Thrustmaster/Thrustmaster Control Panel) if you don't see it, you don't have the drivers installed correctly. Once in there, look for your AVA base and make sure the firmware is up to date... no matter if you might think it is... Thrustmaster is going to ask you right off if everything is installed correctly. If you see your stick and all the buttons and axis' are working in the Control Panel, then it's a DCS problem not seeing your stick. I had to redo all my in game axis when I updated the drivers and Firmware. That's when it saw my stick as a Hornet (R) stick. It used to just be Hornet stick. Do a rescan of devices and then a slow repair of the game. Good luck.. glad to see you're still around Stanger... Hoss aka 361st_BeoWolf

    Got the dampers and cams today. Installed both, hated the cams, went back to jet cams, love the dampers. I'm in the process of finding a good spring tension to damper ratio that's good for my stick set up, I've got 200 mm extension on mine... It's a much more precise feeling now... totally changes your curves and deadzones...

    It's weird listening to Echo-19s sound mod while flying the P-51. The visuals don't do the engine sounds justice. While the Corsair is just the opposite. Probably why I use the Jug and the Mossie the most.
  20. _Hoss
    Make sure your drivers are installed. Go into Start/Programs/All, and go to Thrustmaster Control Panel and see if your FW is up to date. You can update from there. There is new software, that I was unaware of.
  21. _Hoss
    Yeah, I just discovered in the Warbirds that when you "Show Pilot" in the Mustang the knee-board works on his left thigh. It's the only one that works though, I checked the Jug and the Spit and it's a Caucasus map that won't work for your current location,i.e. Normandy, and Channel maps. I wish the Mossie had a working pilot, but the cockpit is a ghost town. I need to check out some of my other modules and see if they have a functioning in cockpit pilot knee-board.
  22. _Hoss
    Ms. Mossie is my second favorite warbird behind the Jug, I really haven't gotten to the Spitfire yet. I've got most of the controls mapped out, but haven't slipped the surly bonds with her very much.

    Show Pilot

    _Hoss replied to _Hoss's topic in Bugs and Problems

    I keep forgetting the Mossie is still "Early Release". Behind the Jug it's my second favorite warbird. The Mustang needs some 4k rework done inside and out, to bring up to the Jug, Mossie, and the new Corsair's level of detail.
  24. _Hoss
    Piece of cake now. I have to be careful not to give it as much power as I did before.

    That's not my break set up, mine is a J curve. Somehow it got messed up on the Mossie and the Jug, works fine on all the other modules. The last windows update and Windows Defender messed up keyboard emulation software in IL2 (RSMapper by the exceptions/inclusion of files) and some of the settings in DCS as well. Im not sure why DCS was effected. So I added my gamer computer to my Bitdefender account. Ditched the windows version of AV & FW. Redid all the exception and inclusion protocol and problem fixed with RSMapper. So going in and erasing and remapping all my axis' for the Jug and the Mossie did the trick. If it happens again, I'll know what caused it.....
