Since I've rebuilt my HOTAS system so many times I've gone from TMWH, and TARGET exclusively, I've added a BlackHog A, three different trim boxes, then I got a Viper Panel, a WW PTO2, WW Super Taurus, and On your 12, Master Arm panel. I have to use something that lets me program all the different devices in one fell swoop. I started with Joy2key, but it was difficult to navigate and find the controller I needed. Then I found RSMapper, and it was all downhill from there. When you select File/Open there's an IL2 and DCS option. This is my DCS page with different profiles, yes it's pretty empty. I deleted everything and started rebuilding it with the latest controllers in the collection. The IL2 profile is generic. It comes in great when I need a press or release function, TEMPO Long press function, and Sequence/Chain events. RSM events are Chain events. Sequences are each time you press the button or switch, it does one command, push it again and it does something else. Chain events are when you push the button/switch once and it performs multiple tasks in a set time. In TARGET GUI and SCRIPT, you can do both.

My Airfield comms are AFU, have been for a while. In game radios are non-functional, too.......... BETA = SNAFU. and that's the reality of it, it's immutible. I have come to the conclusion that none of this is ED, DCS, or the developers fault, they are blameless. They have no legal obligation to meet our perceived expectations of the state of the product if it's released to Beta. We knew that going in, so faunching and bellering about it, pointless. Public releases are a different story. And I can't wait until it's the only version. So they stop breaking my plane, that has nothing to do with anything in a new release or update. Yes, I understand we can use the public release version and play campaigns, and single player missions, but even the crickets packed up and left the MP room in the PRV. After it's all said and done, we have no legitimate right to complain about the form, fit and function of products and modules. This being their OPEN BETA version of the game, releases them of any obligation to keep all the modules, in a full fidelity condition. As long as the module remains in the beta, its in an "As Is" condition. Mr. Murphy will make his presence known with an unwanted visit. This leaves us with nary a leg to stand on, which makes it hard to mount a soap box. I would be interested to see if all of this is broken in the public version. I need a bigger SSD to get both versions plus other FS on it. If someone does, have both, could you test it. And tell us if the PRV is as FUBAR as the OBV. When I stand back and think about it, I can't help but laugh at myself for my new callsign..... Lem, short for Lemming. We are a group of knuckleheads who paid to be part of a beta test. It's a pretty darn smart business model if you look at it. So, as long as we keep buying unfinished products, they will keep giving you access to them, at full price. Whats the old saying? "A fool and his money are soon seperated" Yeah, that duder looking back you in the mirror when you're brushing your teeth.... I refuse to acknowledge him.... he's Nuckin Futs. Prayers going out for any of you on the East coast dealing with the damage, and the politics. JMTCW

I can talk to the Chief and that's it.

I think they are coming up with FFB version of it. If I see it again I'll PM them and get their particulars and PM you.

LOL, did you not read I had my entire group streaming my screen on Discord, verifying EVERYTHING is setup correctly. Streamed it while testing, so we can watch the radio overlay screen lights light up, when I, or anyone else keys their mic. So now use discord comms. I'm not the only one in the group having no joy with comms in game. Did the Admin on/off, on everything as well. This took place over numerous occasions, over several weeks.......... No joy! I've been a beta tester at IL2, and can attest too how beta testing should work. Look at stuff that wasn't supposed to be affected by the update. Someone needs to introduce this generation to Old Mr. Murphy. DCS = SNAFU...... but thanks for your payment. DEVS = DILLIGAFF........ but thanks for your payment. UPDATE = BOHICA....... but we'll fix it soon..... LWIN + NUMPAD 4, in all the Mustangs has been broken since day one of the Mustang. It should look like LWIN + NUMPAD 6 over the other shoulder. The sooner the Open Beta is done away with the better. Modules, updates, and hot fixes that can't pass closed beta 100% should never make it into game. Selling products that are incomplete, defective, and now add unsupported, is against most consumer laws, in most countries. This is JMTCW from almost 21 years of experience with ED and DCS. I've had this game on the HDD, SSD since LOCK ON came out in 2003. I'm still waiting on the Me-262 I paid for. I've lost interest in the excuses you will see in the reply they give. Give me the Swalbe or a voucher for another plane.... but a finished one though. Do you have any completed ones?

Neither could I and it's been that way for a long time, way before the last update. In game radios don't work either. I had guys in my group looking at my desktop and game screens on Discord and everything is set correctly. Correct PTT buttons for the radios. Just one in the Jug. All the lights work when you push all the right buttons, but still no comms.

There's a guy on FB DCS pages selling one in the USA. Ensure you have him take a new photo with today's date, or something saying "For Pteradon" I got burned on the first go around, so take precautions. The second guy I dealt with had to deal with others asking for it to. He even sent me a video of him going thru the buttons and axis to verify it worked. Some times you're the Car, some times your the bug.... Works great......

What are the keystrokes for that in settings? In ALL the Mustangs, RWIN + NUMPAD 4 should have you looking over your left shoulder. But in game you, look down inside the left rear of the cockpit. LWIN + NUMPAD 6, is the same view over your right shoulder. And you can check your 6 on your right real quick. I have found a way to fix it in saved games/snapviews, by editing each Mustang in line 13. Heads up, a really good idea, would be you, saving that file somewhere safe. We all know, one "Awe $hit, erases a thousand Atta Boys......

I've got an old i8700K in my case, old mobo too. 32GB RAM, and an RTX 3080ti. I've got pretty much everything on High, running DLSS. 32" 144hz LG monitor. I set my max frame rate to 140. I run in the 100s fps most of the time using the MT.exe. Reflected's campaigns run great. I'll get down to 70-60 fps in his depending on where I am in the game/mission space. However, in your situation; I would save up and do a complete rebuild, so in the next few years if something awe inspiring comes out, you can upgrade knowing your Mobo, CPU, and Power Supply can handle the speed and power requirements. And your bottlenecks will be reduced or gone completely.

I don't actually use the mouse while playing like I'm flying an airplane. But, I use it quite extensively while using RSMapper and DCS Settings pages. It's really handy when I want to build or adjust profiles, for the small repertoire of modules on the SSD. You see, this way I have no need to lean forward to the desk to use it. I won't assume you did not see the TM Viper Panel on the same MTSIM mount as the mouse extension!?!....... I hope I didn't put your moral high ground off kilter any. Improvise, Adapt, Overcome.......... SEMPER FORTIS

I have finally finished this office pit mess, or fiasco. And can finally get to learning the Scooter. Looks nice, feels great, but I want my office back.

Yes, it most certainly is.

The Pony needs a complete re-shod.

Need to call him Moriarity...... "always with the negative waves" I'm another fanboi for the A-20G, it's good for both theaters, the same can be said for a dual theater version of the P-38.

I love these posts...

OAre you using Sedenion's Complete 128 dx hack SCRIPT? I would only use it to get TEMPO presses out of buttons and momentary switches. And only if your set up is exclusively ThrustMaster. Example..... When I run DCS I have a WW Super Taurus, (Start Panel & Throttle w/handles, = 2 devices, PTO2 = 1 device, K-51 Trim box = 1 (axis x 8 on my left). AVA & F/A-18 stick = 1, BlackHog A = 1, Master Arm Panel = 1, on the center mount. And Viper Panel on the right = 1, and the TPRs = 1 on the floor...... that works out to nine devices. I can use everything in DCS, but not IL2. I don't use TARGET or SimAppPro in DCS, but only to update FW, and change physical / virtual button states on the WW and TM devices. (Virtual buttons on TM/VP, and axis to buttons and vice versa,, on WW stuff. I do run TARGET if and when I play IL2. It sees nine devices, so I merge the Stick, Viper Panel, and TPRs to "Combined" either in GUI or SCRIPT since IL2 doesn't care about 120 buttons anymore. Like Gunny Highway said, we have to.... "improvise, Adapt, Overcome"........ "Always carry a knife with you, just in case there's cheesecake, or you need to stab someone in the throat" Gen. Mattis. Don't be afraid to experiment..... it's just ones and zeros..... In other words, don't be a myopic fanboi like I was to a particular mfg. My work in progress Sitting behind me is a TMWH HOTAS, w/ MTSIM mounts, Crosswinds, and the TPS', and the M/A panel I still need to mount.. RSMapper, sees all my devices. On Press commands - keyboard emulation, TEMPO On Release commands - keyboard emulation Chain Events / Sequences Multiple game and aircraft profiles. KISS

Very nice, K51.....

LMAO, finally, someone one knows who the Guy in Back is....... He should be Gibs, not Jester......... jester was the adversary. I've got the A-4, but I'm really wanting the A-7. I repaired the DECM on the A-7 & A-6. VA-22 & 94 made the last Cruises with them on the Enterprise in 88. I was in 94. Good times.

Damn it........ I ruined everything getting this to replace the WH Throttle. Just kidding.... I completely tore apart my red-neck flight console that I built for 66.6% of the crap I own. I've a few adapters arriving from MTSIM on Wednesday, and I'm rearranging it all. See the other plate under the monitor? Leftside - Taurus, PTO2, and K-51 Trim box. I'll send you another pic when it's done. That Start-up Panel on the Taurus changes a lot on the BlackHog A face plate. I just haven't figured it out yet. And I don't think it weights as much as the WH throttle. Part one..... mount it....... Part two tomorrow..... run cables, power on.....

My TPM is unchecked......

If you change your TPM setting while using Windows-10. The next time Windows tries to update, it will automatically install windows 11. LOL, it did that to me with XP and Win 10.

Greetings and Salutations to my Greek Combat Flight Sim Brothers... I've been around IL2 since 2001 and DCS when it was the original LockOn Modern Air Combat or LOMAC, around 2003. I had an old buddy in one of your early Greek IL2 groups... GR_? Tamil was his call sign, and Fotis was his first name, and like all good men he got married to what he told me was a very beautiful Greek lady. I imagine he went on to finish his Army career, probably had a bunch of kids, and is living happily ever after in Kalamata, Greece where he's from. If any of you know how to get in touch with him, tell him BeoWolf, or Hoss or just Mike said hello, and I hope he's doing well. When he found me on Hyperlobby it was always..... Miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiike. We would fly and discuss the differences between the US Navy and the Hellenic Army on Roger Wilco and TS. Those were some of the better days. Salute Mike Williams / Hoss AT1(AW/SW) USN ret. 1977-1997

LOL.... I just love these posts.

https://deltasimelectronics.com/pages/install-instructions The Calibration tool is in his downloads. Update your firmware first, and make sure when it tells you unplug it and plug it back in..... you do that.

It's a bit longer Fore and Aft, same width and height. Totally different feel from WH base.
