Definitely a disappointment, but at least it will give us some high quality AI for the Bug, Rhino and Growler - if nothing else...

Just to confirm the problem still exists... I just purchased the Tomcat a few days ago and have yet to be able to watch any tracks because it veers off the runway on takeoff and crashes before I even get airborne... even though the original flights were fine and without incident. Apart from that though, I'm loving the Tomcat! I must say it's an impressive add-on! Well done!!!

DCS: F-16C - IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN!!! I almost choked on my coffee this morning when I read the DCS Weekend News email!! Also checked to make sure that the date wasn't April 1! Even cleaned my glasses just to make sure I wasn't seeing things!!! Can't believe it's finally going to happen!!! Thanks, ED!!

If you're referring to the Warthog HOTAS... yes.. the separate stick and throttle are the same ones sold as a set.

I didn't even bother with the polished version. There's no need for it in my opinion. You can't really see the piece when it's connected to the base so its a waste of effort and, as you said, could reduce the outer diameter. I reduced any chance of play in my stick by adding an extra washer to the inside attachment screw and over-tightening it. As a result, it is firmly in place and there isn't the slightest hint of wobble.

I use the 13 degree forward/15 degree offset version in heavy black plastic and it works great. Very strong and stiff. It will take a little getting used to if you are used to the upright, straight metal tailpiece that comes standard with the Warthog. The forward pitch will feel a little strange at first, but you'll get used to it quickly. I bought it to replace the original cheap metal version, which snapped in two. This one, I feel, will be much stronger! In fact, I just bought 4 more of these tailpieces yesterday for my spare Warthog sticks as well as an extra Warthog Throttle Detent.

Maybe this? http://realsimulator.com/html/rusba.html

That's his own personal model... not for public use

I could take a stab at some F-16 panels for BMS Falcon 4, if you like!:thumbup: Is the template you had earlier in the thread still the current template?

I plan to buy a few of these!! I'd love to be able to use them in DCS World, BMS Falcon 4.33, and P3D. Have you come up with any BMS Falcon panels yet?

LOVING the Growler, Skate!!! Excellent work! (My personal favorite of the Super Hornet family!)

I think they may be referring to the "bang" that you hear in external view... if you watch a replay track, you can hear a loud "bang" when the cans light up in external view. In real life, you'll never hear a "bang" when the 220's or 229's light up (except during a compressor stall) because they are staged to light up gradually... but what you SHOULD hear is the distinctive P&W "queep" - the chirping of the CENC opening and closing the nozzles - in exterior view... which is (sadly) missing in DCS. That would be much more realistic than the current bang heard in exterior view (though you would only hear the nozzles chirp if you're within about 1/4 mile of the aircraft during takeoff or landing or during EOR checks.)

I have an FSSB R3 and Warthog stick that developed a slight wiggle after about 1 year and then one day the pot metal shaft snapped in two right at the base. There is, indeed, a great deal of pressure asserted on that shaft - but only when you have the force set to higher levels. Instead of getting a replacement from Thrustmaster, I ordered a 3-D printed heavy vinyl replacement from Debolestis Shapeways shop in this thread It's extremely stiff and it also has the correct angle and slight offset that are missing from the original TM version. So far, it has held up remarkably well... there was a slight wobble at first, but I managed to tighten it down and now it is perfect! It was very affordable and so far it has been a great replacement!
