Just to add, this is (as I am) based in the UK

Hi All, Up for sale is a Vipergear F-16 ICP. I bought this over a year ago thinking I’d use it but at the time the incomplete state of dev with the F-16 made me put this in a cupboard and forget about it; as such, its practically brand new. Simply selling as I no longer want or need it as I favour the F-18 to fly. This is the new/updated version VG sent me as the original I had was sent back due to a manufacturing default (most if not all of the ‘first round’ of ICPs developed sticking button and a few other issues so a recall was issued) Price is £350 inc. postage (tracked & insured) & Paypal fees Any questions, let me know.

Just came across these on Aliexpress and am reply intrigued - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002817844172.html. They have a bunch of reviews but I’m curious to know if anyone in out community has them and could provide real life images rather than the CAD ones on the advert? Thanks

Got it, do we know if ED are working on a fix at all?

I just took a spin in the F-18 after a little break only to find that clouds in VR Have jagged edges, anyone else finding the same?

After leaving this project for a while (was waiting for my Elegoo Saturn to turn up more than anything else), I decided to start printing the throttle unit. From the pictures you can see my progress so far but its pretty clear to see the print quality issues I’m struggling with; I keep running into problems where certain parts of a print are warping (towards the edges) and its super frustrating. If anyone has any experience with 3D resin printing and/or Elegoo printers, I’d love to know how to tackle these print failures.

After browsing the forums, I came across this which is what I’m talking about -

Hi All, I recently came back to DCS and after spending a few mins in the cockpit of the Turkey, I noticed that I can hear a very audible beeping tone. Anyone know if it’s a bug or not?thanks

I raised a similar post a little while ago to which they released a ‘fix’ for although I didn’t see any change. After doing some experimentation recently, I launched a fully loaded F-18c in full AB (3 ext. tanks, two GBU-38s, two AIM-9X, ATFLIR & 1x AIM-120) off the Abraham Lincoln which in ME I set to be steaming 25kts into the wind and I consistently got around 200-220 knots coming off the bow. I even tried without any throttle and was only seeing around a ~10kts reduction in end speed Something just doesn’t seem right with the amount of force being applied to whatever aircraft is hooked up to the catapult.

Any updates on this? I just tried it to set trim to neutral after a double ugly load out but it doesn’t seem to do anything much at all

+1 on this. The F-14’s canopy reflections/light refractions are awesome

Looks like Vive are still in the mix..

I just gave the F-14A a drive today and thought exactly the same thing. Thank god you brought it up, I thought I was going insane as I was able to hear very faint beeping noises. Why in the world would this be included? So annoying!

Just tried this again at the weekend. Launched a fully loaded F-14 (6xPH, 2xSP, 2xA9 & two external tanks) and I’m still getting to the end of the cat with around 200kts end speed

I've noticed this problem as well. I'm using the Virpil CM2 base with a 1.5" extension and the VFX grip and notice that past about 5-10 degrees of roll input, the F-14 rolls very violently (almost disproportionally so) to the amount of stick input I'm giving. I'm trying to play around with the custom curves to make it less like I'm commanding full right/left bank once I go past a certain point on my physical stick but I haven't had much luck

What machine are people using to mill out their panels? I'm thinking of buying this but not sure if its any good?

Thats awesome, make sure to post some more pics along the way. Can I ask what you used to design the PCB and where/how you had it printed? Thanks!

Hi All, I’m in the midst of building ‘yet another’ F-18C Hornet cockpit but am looking to take the finish up a notch. So far, I’ve 3D printed the main components of the front panel (inc. UFC, DDIs, MPCD etc) but as I said, I’m looking to add a bit more realism to my build. To that end, I’m curious to know what laser etcher/engravers people are using and what software? I’m pretty handy with Fusion360 but I understand thats a 3D modelling tool and not great for 2D? Any help/pointers would be appreciated.

That’s awesome. What are you using to engrave/laser etch the Perspex?

Same, I feel my experience with the MFDs aren’t quite as sharp also

Completely agree

Same

Just quick post, any update on the pilot body at all? Thanks

Am I right in thinking that with the ATFLIR, we can now see where the pod is looking through a symbol in the HUD (much like in the Warthog))?
