Is there any way that shim can be made thicker in the plans? I also don’t have access to a 3D printer nor do I know anything about how to do this.

Since I went from the X52 to the X56 it was worthwhile but if you have the X55 I wouldn’t bother unless the guts of the X56 were upgraded.

That stick and throttle are excellent for DCS given the price point. Good call! This thread may help answer your questions but in the meantime Practice your take offs and landings and once you have that down try your hand at cold starts and basically whatever you want. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=232929 It all depends on your attitude. If you like to learn in sequential steps then the best thing to do is read the manual(s). Chuck's manual is very helpful so it's a great place to start https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=212282 I'm all over the place with this sim but I'd rather learn what I want when I want in order to stay interested and keen on knowing more. Honestly dude, just do what you want with the game and have fun. You will eventually learn as you go along and once you have the basics down you will start to learn at a much faster rate. There are tons of great videos on YouTube. Keeping it fun is the name of the game. Good luck. :thumbup:

Are you looking for one so you can make a 3D print out?

Mine also came with one although I have Trump hands so it needs to be thicker lol. :joystick:

Apparently me and a few others. G’night

15, 16 and 18 have it. Not implemented yet on the Hornet or Falcon lol

Would be nice to see a video demonstrating the settings for the average build. That video was all about the settings on two relatively powerful and EXPENSIVE rigs. Helpful to some but not realistic for most.

Then say “you get what you pay for” and leave it at that. No need for the attitude.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but this I believe, refers to the missile's proximity fuse. The fuse can be set to have the detonation sensor set to small (you have to be really close to the missile before it goes off) Medium (you have to be reasonably close to the missile before it goes off) or Large (the missile will detonate even if it's fairly far from the jet)

Lol, thanks will do. WOW so that much eh??? JEEESUS!!! I think I'll be back on the Falcon before they finish the Hornet. Can't wait for my little Sky Porsche

As long as ED maintains 100% control over it's company without partnering up with some greedy prick publisher (i.e. EA, Activision) I'm happy. ED is growing slowly and steadily and that's what works best for any growing company.

Hey folks, Just wondering how much is left to be done for the Hornet to be complete. So far I've only heard of the Laser designator pod and the ECM that has yet to be added so what would be left after that? I know it will never be *finished* so not holding my breath.

If that's the case the first thing I'll do with the Tomcat is takeoff, fly to angels 40 and do a vertical dive at full burner..... Let's see how much she can handle ;) :joystick:

Change the mission to make the tanker fly in a straight line forever.... You're practicing so why make it harder than it needs to be. Once you nail AAR in a straight line, practice in turns.

Will do thank you

Thank you LOGIRich, Now I am gonna bust your balls here a little ;) Can you confirm that “go ahead and open the throttle to remove extra grease *YOU HAVE OUR BLESSING*” means that opening up the throttle will NOT void the warranty?

Now it is up to LOGIRich to take this back to Logitech and update us on wether or not any action will be taken. Remaining silent will speak volumes to the community. I’ve worked in sales and if there is one thing that echoes in forums and on the net, it is bad reviews. “The evil men do lives beyond them while the good is oft interred with their bones” - Mark Antony, Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar

OK so moving forward and so LOGIRich has something to take back to Logitech, here are the issues everyone complains about in general: - inconsistent throttle stiffness that cannot be addressed unless the throttle is dismantled. - useless throttle tension knob - a noticeable amount of looseness in the center of the stick. - no real weight to both throttle and stick (this again requires you dismantle both units if you want to add weights) - rotator knobs on the throttle are loose and lack a solid feel. My opinion but other than these flaws this product functions quite well. For 375 taxes in, yes I expect better quality. If all these issues were fixed then I’d gladly feel like the price point properly reflects the value of the X56

No one is barraging him. He is the liaison for Logitech which means he is the representative to the community for Logitech. Some customers are clearly frustrated and understandably some even want to return the X56 so, yes, it is his job to provide some sort of support to the customer and either offer tips or direction to the proper resource to assist. If you're happy with your product then fine but don't demonize those that are not. and for anyone that doesn't think it's LOGIrich's job to represent Logitech here amongst the DCS community then ask yourself this; Why did he even start this thread?

LOGIRich, With the exception of just one person saying the throttle is too loose on the x52, Pro and the X56 I have seen nothing but complaints about how STIFF it is. Come on man, we’re not stupid. We ACTUALLY USE your products in real life so we see and feel how good or bad it is and the reality is that the throttle is inconsistently stiff and that joke of a tension knob does jack squat to the tension. Taking it apart to fix it VOIDS the warranty so it’s basically Logitech saying; “You’re screwed if you use it as is and you’re screwed if you try to fix it." That’s not right at all.

Just sent this message to LOGIRich You have some frustrated customers here who would like some answers. Realize that by remaining silent you impress upon the community Logitech’s “commitment” to customer service and how loyally you stand behind your products. Where are you?

He probably ran off into the sunset because his Logitech HOTAS stopped working.

Not a typo but then again, not Logitech https://www.amazon.ca/Mad-Catz-Control-SCB440420002-02/dp/B003BXVIQS

Googling it now. Looks like it’s a typo so far.
