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

What do you mean jitters, it can't be force feedback, or I'll be pissed mine doesn't have any. Does it feel like skipping because of grit/grime or something stuck in the ball causing it? I have great grandchildren, and I'm always trying to keep them away from my office/sim room, those hands and fingers are always dirty. Once you get it cleaned/fixed get one of those Monstertech dust shields.. https://www.monstertechusa.com/product/warthog-dust-shield/ Let us know what's causing it. Cheers Hoss

There are periods of time when the boat does go into harms way where we would go full EMCON, the only RADAR's Rotating and Radiating were on board the E-2's and AWACS on station. Ships RADAR was used for search of incoming threats and returning Air Wing aircraft. Now the Ready five could of been vectored to a target, but that was usually done by the Ticonderoga class AEGIS Cruisers. The Carrier is too important of a platform to risk giving away it location. Of course that's a moot point if there are hostile subs in the area, they will hear us a continent away from the four giant screws beating the water and that Jet noise on deck carriers underwater too.

$130.00 bucks is pocket change compared to the amount of money you need to spend on RAM 32Gb, and a good GPU, $1,000.00 to $1,800.00. to get the fps on these maps with all the objects and terrain details. I have a 1TB M.2 SSD I only put games on, and since it loads straight to the MB onboard chip instead of the Sata ports, it's much faster loading to the RAM and CPU, GPU... I have my OS on another SSD (going to Sata port) and a HDD for backup storage.. You can never have too much storage. My DCS is only 185Gb, I have two installs of the "Other" Sim regular and beta that take up another `150Gb of space.... I'm really glad I have that M.2 SSD now.

After a lot of trial and error I got the thing to work, but now for some reason the throttle and joystick jump all over the place, when I spawn on free flight it rolls violently to the right. This is all new, I ensure I have the P-51D loaded in settings profile for the HOTAS. I can switch to the P-47 and it behaves like a dream. The Mustang throttle when it does almost work correctly is not linear with the movement I have from the TMWH throttle. I have no J curve set up in DCS either. it's 1 for 1. I barely push the throttle and it goes from about 20"mp to 45"mp.. very annoying.............. go back to the P-47 and it's a dream to fly again............... I'm to the point to where I'm not even sure if I want to start messing with the Spitfire or not.. And this is all on the release version. I'm afraid I'd throw my computer out the window if I even messed with the open beta.................

In the MapJoystick you have for the Trim Hat this data // -- H1 (TRIM) -------------------------------------------------------------- MapKey( &Dev, H1U, DXHATUP); MapKey( &Dev, H1R, DXHATRIGHT); MapKey( &Dev, H1D, DXHATDOWN); MapKey( &Dev, H1L, DXHATLEFT); How do I get this so I can use it for it's intended function of doing trim (Elevator/Rudder) I found this script on the JoyStick for the A-10 //Hat 1 is DirecX POV and Hardware Trim-------------------------------------------------------------- MapKey(&Joystick, H1U,REXEC(0, 100, "TrimDXAxis(DX_Y_AXIS, -5);"), //Trim Down DXHATUP); //DX POV MapKey(&Joystick, H1D,REXEC(0, 100, "TrimDXAxis(DX_Y_AXIS, 5);"), //Trim Up DXHATDOWN); //DX POV MapKey(&Joystick, H1L,REXEC(1, 100, "TrimDXAxis(DX_X_AXIS, -5);"), //Trim Left DXHATLEFT); //DX POV MapKey(&Joystick, H1R,REXEC(1, 100, "TrimDXAxis(DX_X_AXIS, 5);"), //Trim Right DXHATRIGHT); //DX POV Will something like that work?, and would I just substitute it for the H1(Trim) above? Thanks, and I did download the latest version today, and thanks for that. Hoss

Something could fallen down in the grooves, it's easy to take off the L/R separator between the throttles and see if anything fell in there, take a vacuum and see what you can get out of it. LOL, I'm always having to vacuum my keyboard................. messy Marvin.................... You do not need TARGET software, it ridiculously easy to use though. The 128 DX button fix would probably be more to your liking. I thought you were supposed to be able to sync the TMWH to a module so it got the full functionality like the aircraft. Getting your LONG/SHORT TEMPO presses. You will not be able to do that with TARGET, only the script editor will let you do that. The 128 button DX script will let you do that with no problems you only need to enable it in the first part of the script with either a 0= no, or a 1 = yes. define S1_LONG 1 // Enable (1) or Disable (0) Long-Press for S1 button Cheers Hoss

I was on the O2, right under the Port JBD motor room, so I got that, and the Jet engine right over my rack........... I remember when we pulled into port and it was so quiet we found it hard to go to sleep, anyone talking in the berthing lounge was a distraction. yell at them to shut up... LOL the arresting wire sounded like King Kong scratching his finger nails on a chalk board. Hoss USN 77-97 CV-64, CVN-65 (VA-94), CVN-72

I was going to Mount my Warthog under my desk, but I'm afraid when I go fully forward with it it may hit the table. Does your's? I'm getting the wall hangers to mount on the legs of my desk so I can get them off my work space when not flying. When I get them I'll send you a pick of them hanging under the desk out of the way. My stick has the 10mm extension (100cm). Cheers BW

The Midway, would be nice for the Korea, and Cold War scenarios I'm sure Razor is intimately familiar with. The Midway started with a straight deck then modified to have an angled deck, the steam catapults will handle most all jets, except maybe the Vigilante or A-3 Whale...even with a scant fuel load. The A-3's were also tankers besides VAQ later in their life span. She would be relevant up till the late 80's early 90's carrier operations. She was commissioned in 1945, she had a compliment of F/A-18's , VFA-195, VFA-192... until she was decommissioned in 92. You can do two versions of her, straight deck and angled deck. But a good WWII carrier is definitely needed for the Pacific map. I just hope there is a concerted effort to build a Japanese battle fleet and compliment of aircraft to fill it's deck, or we will have a very empty Pacific Ocean theater of operations. Hoss

Mine is on a 1TB m.2 SSD, I initially loaded it there to start with, you can try to just copy and paste the game over to the SSD, I have DCS, and the "Other Sim" on the "E" drive (SSD). The files that belong in "Saved games" always make it there, it updates/repairs just fine too. Or you can just do a fresh install of the game on the new drive and then move what you need from the old install to the new one. and delete it. Just save your custom Lua files just in case. Save you time reconfiguring things. Hoss

Seems like a common theme with the P-51 and controls mapped to a HOTAS, I got feed up and went back to the "Other" Sim to fly the Mustang, the other thing I noticed is the throttle movement is very quick, I have my TMWH throttle set to default, i.e. I did not set it for at 55% physical throttle, gives you 75% of in game throttle, it's one for one on movement, I move it just a little and the in game throttle just jumps at what appears to be 30% more than my physical movement. The Prop pitch (RPM), and Mixture settings work as they should. But as stated I can not get the Canopy to work either. I've got the Coolant and Oil Radiators mapped to sliders on a BlackHog and they work just fine. When I move the slider the switch guard moves and the switch goes in both directions on both. I have not even tried to map the P-47 yet. The jet crowd I think are the loudest "Squeaky Wheel" so they get top priority to grease the works, to quiet it/them down. Remember this all started as LOCON, Lock On Modern Air Combat........... JETS................ we Prop heads are an afterthought... I need to get out of here before I accumulate more points towards a ban or DCS JAIL... beside, COMNAVHOUSEPAC has some chores for me to do........ Cheers Hoss

LOL, well okay then, I guess you know way more about it than anyone else. So humbling, thanks! The newer RHAW receivers didn't emit a tone for Missile Activity/Missile Launch like the 45/50, there's was for a specific type of threat, nothing to do with PRF, it had to do with the platform, Air to Air missile, Air to Air gun, Ground SAM, Ground AAA/AA along with the associated symbology. The tones are for "PRIORITY" OF THE THREAT. remember the Threat library?. RADAR's fingerprint?.. It classifies them by severity of it's threat to the aircraft. Ground Search RADAR, Airborne Search Radar, Low Pri. Airborne Fire Control RADAR, Surface Fire Control RADAR higher priority. There comes a point where you just get tired of explaining things. This is just a game, so what does it matter how you model something, it's not going to function like the real world model anyway. If it were horseshoes, it would'nt be close enough to count anyway. Yeah, I know, 20 more points from the admins.. LOL DILLIGAFF.............. Fair Winds and Following Seas

When we pulled into Toulon, France the Foch was in port and there were three A-4 skyhawks sitting on her deck. LOL, I was in the USN Aviation community for 20 years, (77-97) You just know what an A-4 looks like. Cheers

In the mid to late 70's the F-8 was used as a photo recon plane, we had a det from VFP-63 on board, my bunk was directly under Cat 2, (O2-50-0Q)when an F-8 went into afterburner for a cat shot it sounded like a bomb went off on deck,it just went boom... so you knew it was an F-8 on the cat. For the old Oriskany, Forrestal era, don't forget the A-5 Vigilante, that will be a hoot to get on deck... for French Carriers the Foch, had A-4 Skyhawks on it too, as late as the mid 80's. Hoss

You get that way lookin at a six pack Razor............................. remember, there's no slack in light attack............. and happiness is a SLUF....................... Hoss

First press of Right Control + Pause gives me FPS counter, the second press gives me CPU, and other data, next press it's all gone. This is on the "Stable" version..

LOL, lets do A1-Skyraiders, F4U's F9F's ..... maybe even FJ-2/3 Fury's .. F2-H Banshee...... Early Naval Jets, late props.... sounds like heaven to me on an Essex carrier Cheers
