Care to share a link plz?

Hi All, Long story short, I'm part way (no idea how I'd ever measure being truly complete) though a VR build for the F/A-18C Hornet and have encountered a bit of an issue. Whilst flying around the other day testing out my latest add on (Leo Bodnar based button box that mimics the switches etc on the left wall), I realised its a little bit difficult to find the correct switch to toggle. I'm sure things will improve with time (muscle memory) but until that happens, is there anyone out there who has made switch covers for the flaps, landing gear, launch bar etc? Possibly using a 3D printer? Failing that, does anyone know where I can buy the aforementioned covers? I'm pretty close to buying a cheapish 3D printer and making my own but thought I'd put this feeler out there before I do Cheers

The ‘hard’/heavy springs and they’re a full 8 counter-clockwise rotations from full tight

Hi All, Up for sale is something a little unusual. Truth be told its part of an unfinished project that I never go around to completing due to work commitments but the essence is thus: 1) F-18 cockpit outline laser cut from 5MM Midnight Black Perspex 2) Laser Cut out for UFC is ready (and was planned) for Brun's 3D printed UFC (those familiar with the forum will know what I'm talking about. 3) MFDs cut outs were cut by me (by hand) and as such may be a bit rough but can easily be neatened up. 4) All holes have been laser cut and are ready to accept toggles, pots and other switches. 5) 2020 aluminium extrusion is included in the sale 6) 8" LCDs (inc. HDMI driver boards & cables) can be included for an extra £60. Note that the LCDs can be rotated 90 degrees to fit under the curves, I just haven't done that. 7) All extrusion fasteners + bolt will be included in the sale 8 ) The TM Cougar panels are not included in the sale Price is £180 inc. postpage & Paypal. The price is steep for whats is essentially a lump of plastic but having Perspex CNC laser cut is something that isn't a poor man's game; I'm not even close to making my money back by the time I included the 2020 extrusion. Any questions, let me know. Note that the Monstertech flight stand and all Virpil hardware are not included in the sale, just shown for how I was planning on mounting the panel (essentially two L shaped brackets that make the entire setup rock solid; if the buy meets my asking prices, I'll throw in the brackets for free). The panel is located in the UK (Essex) Higher res. images of the below can be found here and here

I just tried the aviation 'no centre' cams and they're horrible. there's about 5cm of play/movement in all directions before the gimbal starts 'pushing' back; even when it starts, the travel left is so short that its pretty much indiscernible that its non-linear. Cams aside, it turns out it may be something to do with the VFX grip and how I naturally hold that stick vs. the TM Warthog/F-18. I swapped out the VFX grip for the TM Warthog and found that the 'wall' I previously mentioned was pretty much gone. Long story short, must be something to do with how the VFX grip is held compared to others that makes the base/gimbal feel different

Interesting. I'm using the default cams which I think are the aviation cams? I'll give the space sim cams a shot now and report back

Hi All, Long story short, I already have a VPC MongoosT-50CM2 base that I'm using with a 10CM extension, the 'heavy' springs and the TM F-18 stick. All movement across the axis/gimbal range is smooth and there's no discernible points in the movement where the springs 'start' (i.e when I pull on the stick and compression really starts to take effect). I bought another 50CM2 base that I thought I'd use with the Virpil's VFX grip and another 10cm extension hoping to somewhat mirror the enjoyment I'm getting out of my first base. However, after taking delivery last week and setting everything up (including added the 'heavy' springs), I've encountering what I think is a bit of an issue. When moving the stick within about 0.5-1CM aft (and to a lesser degree forward), I keep hitting what I can only describe as a compression 'wall'. Putting it as simply as I can, it feels like the gimbal is only starting to compress the spring after moving the stick past this 'wall', even though I can both see and feel (by putting my finger in the hole) the tension adjustment screw moving in turn with stick deflection. Is anyone else coming across this issue? Cheers!

There’s a small hole beneath the the palm rest that you have to stick an Allen key through. I’ve successfully locked mine and it won’t move at all, I think Virpil did a good job here

Anyone else think that the weapon select switch won’t hold up over time? I’m finding a lot of play/wobble in mind and don’t have a lot of confidence in it tbh

Pics and general thoughts?

Just checked mine again, looks like it’s been picked up and is going through the network. Happy days! :)

I'm in the same boat as you although mine is currently scheduled for Thursday. Starting to think it won't be by the end of the week now..

Well, more the case that it helps my sanity as it proves my mind wasn't seeing things that aren't there :)

Yea I experience the same thing. Posted on here a little while about it but no one really commented on it. At least I’m not the only one with this issue :)

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned anywhere before but are the left and right displays supposed to match up (in terms of the values that are displayed in the 'EYE LEFT' and 'EYE RIGHT' sections of the tool)? I only ask as I thought/very slightly noticed that I was experiencing a bit of discomfort after putting my Reverb headset on for the first time in about a week (probably didn't notice it before when I used it for a few days after taking it out of the box because I was so giddy about the increase in clarity) and decided to boot up using the tool out of curiosity. Simply put, my values original values were (note that I wasn't able to grab decimal values 4,5 and 6 using the tool so just added 'xxx' below): EYE_LEFT = { L_OUT =1.108xxx, L_IN =0.9474xxx, L_TOP =1.002xxx, L_BTM =1.010xxx, } EYE_RGHT = { R_OUT =1.106050, R_IN =0.947433, R_TOP =1.001386, R_BTM =1.013335, } and my new values after I clicked the 'make symmetric using right' eye button: EYE_LEFT = { L_OUT =1.106050, L_IN =0.947433, L_TOP =1.001386, L_BTM =1.013335, } EYE_RGHT = { R_OUT =1.106050, R_IN =0.947433, R_TOP =1.001386, R_BTM =1.013335, } I noticed a slight improvement in comfort but to be honest I'm not sure if I was having a placebo effect or if I was able to genuinely improve the situation; I guess only time will tell. Do other peoples' values match up?

+1 - I'm a Reverb user and I still still struggle to read the MFDs

You mean when adjusting it via WMR headset settings?

It’s funny you mention that, I’ve adjusted the slider from 59 all the way to 67 and can’t notice any difference in clarity. I was however doing it ‘in real time’ in WMR home but still...

Hi All, I don't know if its been there all along and I've only started to notice it but after putting on my Reverb headset just now, I noticed something a little odd. When looking straight ahead (either in WMR home or DCS) I can clearly see out of the bottom peripheral of my vision what I can only describe as a 'bubble'. When trying to look directly at the this 'bubble' it disappears. I've also noticed that when I push the entire headset closer to my face I can see the rectangle outlines of the HMD's panels which makes me think this 'bubble' I'm seeing is in fact the bottom of the panels. Question is, is anyone else experiencing this? Cheers

Thanks a lot Brun! Should be able to complete my setup rather nicely with this

I've been using my Reverb for the past couple of days and have noticed a bit of an issue and am wondering if anyone else has noticed/experiencing the same. Has anyone seen a slight 'bending' or 'bulge' in the panel's centre field of view? For me, this is most evident when looking outside of the cockpit at the scenery; when moving my head slightly from left to right I can notice a slight distortion in a small oval portion of the vertical view to the point where it looks as though the HMD's panels are slightly bent/distorted. TBH, I don't think you'd notice it if you weren't looking for it. Anyone else experiencing this?

Andre, could you send me a link to your 8 motor seat please? From what I can find on your website, I can only see the 6 version seat! Thanks!

What does he mean by ‘would be 100% and 100% to start?’ Like as I read that I don’t think that sentence makes sense?

I get a ridic amount of flickering during loading which is pretty annoying tbh

Definitely second this motion but I notice a lot of other jets (F14, A-10c etc) don’t have any axis inputs which is pretty annoying
