  1. i started a thread a few months ago to detail my headset customization. if you have any questions feel free to send me a pm. [url=http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=92403][/url]http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=92403
  2. Sign me up!
  3. I don't have any experience with the Acer, but I do fly with an HP Compaq L2105tm touchscreen. Its 21.5 inches, 1080p, and plug-and-play with Win7. I've been using it for a year now with no problems. Couldn't be happier with it. http://www.amazon.com/Compaq-L2105TM-LCD-Touch-Monitor/dp/B002VJL0RA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1343691529&sr=8-1&keywords=l2105
  4. Sounds to me like you're moving your head past where the TIR receiver can "see" the track clip. Once you go outside the field of view of the TIR it tends to go a little crazy. Have you tried to adjust your curve settings in TIR so you don't have to turn your head as far to get the view you want?
  5. I started off with a prototype using an old cell phone lithium polymer battery, 3.7v. You can still see the velcro left over on the headset in the pic above. The thing I didn't like about that was the added weight to the headset felt odd. As it turns out the battery inside the headset is the same 3.7v LiPol which is why I decided to make everything internal. This is the original type battery I used: http://www.amazon.com/LG-Lithium-Ion-battery-AX275-LGIP-420A/dp/B002E0A75C/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1343613155&sr=8-2&keywords=lithium+polymer+battery
  6. Just as the title suggests. I became tired of the need for a cable to power the track clip pro with my wireless g930 headset, so let the hacking commence. I removed the cover and drilled holes in the cup for the right ear (the battery compartment), then inserted a status LED to remind me when the track clip is powered on, and a switch to control the power to the track clip and the LED (so I can use the headset without the track clip always turned on). I wired everything to the battery pack of the g930, before the power switch to the headset, so I can also use the track clip with the headset powered off if I want to. Overall I enjoy the experience much better than before. Sorry for the quality of the pictures. My cell phone doesn't have the best camera.
  7. You can't go wrong with either version of the Saitek pedals. I have the Pro Combat pedals, as I feel they are a bit more realistic to how the pedals of the actual aircraft are operated (heels on floor, move rudder with balls of feet). The mod to remove center detent is simple. I accomplished every step start to finish in under 15 minutes. Just remember to be precise and mindful of the internal wires. I added some extra tension to the pedals after removing the detent and now they feel very similar to the pedals in an actual aircraft (aside from the centering spring).
  8. In the game controls menu go to the axis settings drop down menu, select your toe brake axis and click the "invert" box for both left and right. Under the same menu you should be able to adjust the curve on your ministick. Or, if you're just having problems while slewing your TGP you can adjust it by selecting a value on the UFC to enter it into the scratchpad then press the OSB labelled "slew" on the TGP MFCD. I believe the default value is 5.
  9. is the profile you're using utilizing a modifier key that hasn't been defined in the DCS settings? could account for the red errors you're seeing.
  10. norm, try using the solution found in this thread http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=56062&highlight=g940+ministick basically use the profiler to have the ministick send a keyboard keypress to the sim for each direction.
  11. can you be more specific with what exactly you're looking to do? also, what is your exact setup (monitor configuration, hardware, etc)? i don't know much about exporting mfcd's to ipad, but i was able to easily setup my 22" touchscreen using tutorials found here on the forum. standby and i'll search for the thread i used to get my setup running. EDIT: i used information from this thread by icemaker. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=70716&highlight=multi+monitor
  12. Am I crazy or does it sound like he's combined his SSD and mechanical drive into a RAID configuration, which could account for his lack of improvement?
  13. I agree about VESA mounts, although pretty much anything you find today will have them. I don't know if I'd buy a monitor that didn't come with them. The stand I use for my touchscreen sits near the edge of the desk and allows the screen to hang over by about an inch. I tried an arm similar to the one you suggested but could never get the monitor positioned where I wanted it. My stand came from a company called Ergomart. http://www.ergomart.com/lcd_monitor_stands/lcd_monitor_stand_SL102_Limbo.htm
  14. I purchased a Compaq L2105M 21.5" LCD touchscreen from Amazon.com and couldn't be happier. Win7 64bit recognized the multitouch right out of the box. Helios works great, and the profile I downloaded by CapLoz works perfectly with the monitor. Hope this helped. http://www.amazon.com/Compaq-L2105TM-LCD-Touch-Monitor/dp/B002VJL0RA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1342124633&sr=8-1&keywords=hp+l2105
  15. Just a quick clarification here that the TMWH, while a more than adequate flight stick, is NOT FFB.
