I have noticed when I use the Channel Map it is very out of focus, especially in external views, and mainly with the Mosquito, I don't really see it on peoples videos they make but the Normandy, Nevada, Caucasus map are not blurry. I've got most everything maxed out with a RTX 3080ti video card. It's both the beta and the release versions I'm seeing it on. Not sure what I might be doing wrong, or if it's a DCS not finnished map thing. Thanks Hoss

The F9F would be my favorite "funny" feeling ride.......... Essex, Corsair, Skyraider, we have the Saber, Mustang..... just need an F-80, F-84......... and the damn map to go with it.

Thanks Hoss

You need to change your name from Razor to Jones, because yer Jonesing pretty bad right now...... Intervention time brother. Hoss

You have the file path to that? i.e. how to find it. Thanks Hoss

$6,000.00 bucks plus a $1,000 fee to use it....... Enterprise hardware to be sure.

Otto Controls P/N- Otto T4-TCG3312..............................

64, Retired Navy, Retired Boeing, my crusty is an old thick layer of salt.............. and barnacles.... Cheers Hoss

When you talk about OFP on the F/A-18 it's "Operational Flight Program". There's more than one, depending on which piece of equipment you are talking about. Hoss

Careful, it's 1984 and big brother is watching and listening, you'll accumulate points for a DCS forum jail. I'm a backer, and at this point the 262 is a moot point, I love the P-47, the Spitfire is nice, the P-51 is a constant pain trying to get the bindings to stick. I did get the Mosquito............ one of my favorites, I don't really miss the 262, I don't fly it on the "other sim" either.... Cheers Hoss

I'm sure OFP means something entirely different to me than it does you for F/A-18 Avionics Hoss

I know how you feel................... quickly deteriorated into a hot mess, how about some examples of peoples curves, and the custom ones where do those go? 2, 4, 8, 10, 12, etc.... Less of the my method is better than yours, so get over it crap would be great.... I'd like to hear what people are using for TMWH with 10cm extensions for all the various warbirds, they are all a bit squirrely. I'm probably going to accumulate more ban points here............................ Cheers

That's VA-56........ LOL

The P-38 would be nice, any late model to fit the late war models we have now. Give the LW a Ju-88C or 188, another 109 model, the 262 may show up one of these days...... maybe not....

Did you emulate them into one device in the Device manager?

If you are running Target GUI or TARGET Script Editor with the green arrow checked, so it's a red square it's in "Combined" mode. Looking at Device Analyzer to determine if it's there can be confusing. Where you need to look is start TARGET, and go into DCS and see if the "Joystick", "Throttle" and COMBINED are showing on the settings page as controllers. Never use the Joystick/Throttle columns for commands, always put everything in Combined, unless you have another controller like I do... BlackHog Explorer. You need to clear out those columns before you go in and start assigning DX keystrokes, that's step number one (having a clean sheet before you start). Or you will have multiple devices throwing out the same commands from different buttons, and you will see what "Hosed UP' looks like when you try to use it. Hoss

The Navy has transitioned over to the E/F completely, VFA-147 and VFA-97 at Lemoore NAS are transitioning to the F-35's with more squadrons to follow. The only people we supported for the F/A-18C/D was the USMC. (Boeing's Avionics Repair Facility) So from all of those Navy squadrons that had freshly overhauled planes (F/A-18C/D) those went to the Marines, they will be flying them for a while until the F-35B and C's are built for them. I'm glad I retired when I did, before they were all gone, I would of been looking for a job...... . Hoss

I have not run into any problems trimming the P-51, P-47, Spitfire, or Mosquito in R/P/Y. The trim on a button seems kind of slow compared to the "other" sim. But it's very easy to trim all four of the mentioned planes for hands off level flight. Yaw is the easiest, just center the ball, Pitch I very very loosely hold the stick and use Pitch Trim on a button, until the nose levels out and I'm just barely holding the stick. But that's all I fly is Warbirds, in DCS and the "Other" sim.. so it's second nature as to how I do it. It being slower in DCS, at first I tended to over hold the button and would go past the sweet spot (pitch) and have to come back. the only plane I really use Aileron trim is the Mosquito.. I have not tried to use trim on an Axis in this game yet, I want one of the Trim modules I have seen from Replika gear and the guy from Russia GVL warbird style trim boxes. Cheers Hoss

The way I usually tune mine is do a generic Axis for Roll/Pitch/Yaw, then go into the game, fly around, see how it feels, do an Active Pause, go into settings and tune R/P/Y come back into game and see how it feels. Do this for every module you have and you can't go wrong. Play one of the missions, see how your toe brakes work, take off, fly, fight, RTB, and land, the whole while using Active Pause to fine tune it. It can be a drawn out process, but save your lua files when you are done and you won't have to do it again if you reinstall the game, build a new puter or whatever reason it is we constantly lose our HOTAS set ups. For me the true test is how well I can hold the gun-sight on target while shooting, no twitchy Pitch and Roll, and Yaw does not invoke the dreaded tail wagging, nose weaving, prevalent in DCS Warbirds. Cheers Hoss

If you can do a TEMPO press on a button, quick press for Water Injection, and Long Press for Toggle Water Injection, you can have it on one button. I know Joytokey lets you do TEMPO, TARGET SCRIPT lets you do TEMPO, not sure about VKB and Virpil software. If you have a Three way momentary switch like on the TMWH Throttle and BlackHog Explorer, you can so a Sequence command on the Momentary side of the switch, first press is Injection, second press is Toggle, next press is untoggle and then remove injection. If you have no software running on your controllers, Joytokey is pretty simple, not sure about Joystick Gremlin.. Cheers Hoss

Wonder how much they had to pay to use Boeing's Logo.......... of course that plane in the circle comes from merge with McDonald Douglas.

I use the keyboard settings too, but sometimes I get a weird behavior where the canopy frame looks weird as I move my head, it get wide and slews like I'm in VR or something. Not sure why it does it, but the P-47 did it and so did the Spitfire. Trying to figure out how to reset everything to get the proper views back.

Why the narrow time frame? Are we talking just the Forestall or the class? If and when the Phantom comes out it should be used. The Ranger carried them in 79/80 when they were rammed in the Straights of Malacca. And don't forget the A-5 Vigillante, and RFP-8. There are still C-2 Greyhounds...

That sucks............. I tend to be more gentile with mine since I put the 10cm extension on it just for that reason, I didn't really notice the loose stick part until I put the extension on it. Are you going to take it apart?, there are some good YouTube videos of gents taking it apart, and cleaning it. Maybe there are screws you can tighten up. Good luck Hoss

The small allen screws on the left hand side of the stick on mine get loose once in awhile too, they are metric and I just take a good ball driver and tighten them back up, it gets loose where the F-16 stick meets the metal rod coming out of it int the base. You can put just a whisper of lock tight on them and fasten them down. I'm glad to hear it's not something in the base that's messing up. Hoss
