Yeah, I wish life were that easy, one size fits all for every application. That would be awesome...... yep..... Cheers

Which ever HOTAS Mfg. you use, make sure you know how to use the software to program your system. Otherwise its not being utilized to the fullest, might as well buy a cheaper set. Take all the fanboi talk for what is is..... talk..... I'm a TMWH and TARGET fan boy, but I just bought a Virpil CP#2, I've got VPC and VPC Link down loaded. When I find my round tuit, I'll start teaching myself how to use it, if it doesn't make me happy I'll get rid of it, and not expand my Virpil collection. I will never touch WW junk.... nothing but horror stories of crap going wrong with it... breaking after a short time.... and PRC control of it.

You are talking TEMPO presses, short/long on same button. There is also Sequence and Chain presses. You'll need to know Script for TEMPO, but Sequence and chain are done with GUI menu. Sequence = different command each time you press the button Chain = press button once and a Chain of events takes place over a period of time. Like anything, the more time you spend experimenting with it the better you get at it. The Event Log is your friend while setting up your profile Sendenion's 128DX SCRIPT will work great, but you are still going to need know how to load it in TARGET SCRIPT launcher. No pain no gain.

How about the Pusan perimeter? Yalu River.... Chosin Reservoir, Toko Ri, we've got a good enough plane set for that.

Monstertech, good stuff

Looks like you have not watched the DCS training videos, or Requiem's videos on YouTube. Spend some time watching those....especially Requiem's videos. you'll be well informed afterwards....

Those surface mount SMT resistors (green) and Caps (Tan) can break and you'll never know it until you let the components and PCB heat up. They expand at different rates.. Coefficient of Thermal Expansion CTE. The component will Open, be it a pull up resistor, Vcc resistor or Cap... you can measure it with a Multimeter and it will read good.... unless you are a very good solder tech with the appropriate PACE Station I wouldn't try it. We never used Chinese parts (Chips) on USN weapon systems. Good luck!

In our shop (Avionics) we have an oven we put CCA'S in to cure epoxies, and a host of other things.... you can set it to 190⁰ and just set the stripped down base in there for an hour or so.

If you are not using TARGET to tune your devices, or update firmware, you are missing the most powerful tool at your disposal. RTWFM..... There is a calibration tool for the Throttle and Stick on Thrustmaster,s site, easy as pie to use, but RTWFM...... You can find the calibration tool here on the forums... or here on Reddit... Make sure you read the instructions, when it says to unplug... unplug!... I'm using TARGET and Windows 10 64bit.

Main reason I'll never touch WINWING products. Trash my TMWH and TARGET software all you like, but it's been 10 plus years and its still going strong.. still going strong, sorry, I repeat myself. Cheers

It's in the software..... it's called "Print"... will give you a list or a diagram. TARGET software.... easy as pie. RTWM..... CHEERS!

Would be nice if the face plates were easily removed, so we could replace them with custom plates, kind of like BlackHog and TMWH. There are people lurking in the forums that make some very nice ones.

Well shoot..... I had a comment on it, but I watched that video and I was thrown for a loss.

Ki-84, now that, in DCS would be something to see. I'd buy it for sure.

They look awesome, but it looks more and more like WW has no final QA standards, the workers are probably not trained to be MSE 1 or 2. So I would be interested to see their Quality Deficiency Reports and see just how bad they really are. And the data on their planned obsolescence, how long do they last under "Normal" use. In other words are they bullet proof or Ford Military Grade Aluminum good......... ........ I've looked at Virpil CM3 offerings but VPC software has no ability to program keystrokes in games with limited dx inputs (IL2) A secondary program is needed for that unlike TARGET with Thrustmaster products. I'd like to have some of these to play with just to judge for myself if they are all they were intended to be. Even at 65 I still need to remind myself to curb my desire for things I want, so I don't end up selling my necessities to survive. JMTCW

The only thing that keeps me from buying Virpil is lack of the ability to program keystrokes via the VPC software. Trash Thrustmaster all you want, but TARGET is the best GUI software out there, combine the script functionality and it can not be beat. I really don't want to run Joystick Gremlin and that other program to inject keystrokes. IL2 needs the 128dx limit upgrade..... I use Script for DCS, and prefer it to GUI programmed keystrokes.

Use Sedenions 128 dx script, use the Tempo function (short/long) presses. Now do you have S3 set to Toggle... or not toggled for your shift function. One way you have to hold it, the other way you don't. But you are probably not using TARGET are you? If not you are only getting 50% of your HOTAS' potential.... if that.

There's no money in it......

CAG-51

Do more than consider it, best Naval Aviation group there is...hands down. They also have an Air Force track and Army Aviatin Track. Private discord, private servers. Tues. is loose practice, Thursday is focused practice, and Saturday is full blown mission. F/A-18, F-14, A-4, AV8B..... F-4s when released, F-16, A-10, F-15E when released, And Helos for the Airborne Cav guys.

New trigger seems to be working......

Wow, only $329.00 for Crosswind V3, I've got version 1 which I love... I'm building a second rig and need pedals. I'm in Californi...you know what.... how much for shipping? PM me

No idea, I use Monstertech table mounts.

The last date on the manual post is June 19, 2019. Is this the current one? I'm amazed everyone thinks TARGET software is difficult.... GUI portion is child's play compared to VPCs. I'm going to get the #2 and #3 CB's and the the CM3 base, then the CM3 throttle. Keeping the TMWH HOTAS, BlackHog and GVL trim box on the current computer setup. The wife doesn't know so I'll hunt down who ever spills the beans....... Cheers Hoss

I hate to say it but you need the Virpil CM3 base only with the drag clutches, you can mount your TM sticks on it without adapters. Adjust the clutches and the stick will stay where you put it.... just like a helo stick. The only thing I do not like about VPC is there is no GUI programming like TARGET, so you need two different software programs (Joy2key, Joystick Gremlin etc) if you want to immulate keystrokes for games limited to 32 dx commands like IL2. I use TARGET SCRIPT for DCS and TARGET GUI for IL2. I do use a BlackHog button box I program with joy2key and run along side TARGET. So you should be able as well.
