    Ancient! my last packaged game purchase was in 2010 and I started DCS in 2012

    Were DCS modules ever sold as hard copies? Download is malarkey? That doesn’t make sense… This doesn’t strike me as the type of game someone would rent. It’s not like some game you play through in 20 hours or so and then quit. Those possibly made sense to rent but not this.

    I don’t fly the F-16 but that HUD behavior might be realistic. The A-10 HUD image extends beyond the edges of the glass and you need to move your head to see it all.

    Maybe GameStop could stock some DCS discs

    I wonder if it simulates crashes in those racing sims accurately
  6. SharpeXB
    Even better. It’s = contraction of “it is”. its = the possessive of “it” So it’s an aircraft that carries bombs under its wings

    Oh my bad. It would be Eagle Dynamics’ map since Dynamics is plural. Corrected to Wag’s map.
  8. SharpeXB
    Try…
  9. SharpeXB
    Actually the title: “There are no "E"'s in Caucasus“ would correctly be written without the apostrophe before the s ‘s is possessive as in “Wag’s map”. The meaning there is plural as in “DCS maps”

    Don’t even try to correct spelling or grammar around here English is a lovely language

    I get this same bug but it seems to be at random.

    Yeah that’s why I got the CH to hold me over till then. Right, that's a nice little add. What kept me with the CH stuff for so long is too many of the higher quality devices are like “home cockpit” style and not “desktop” meaning if you want to use your PC for anything else, moving them around is just more difficult. Like the Warthog throttle is 14 lbs and these throttles have big bases and too many switches for my needs. CH did fit the bill for being desktop form factor but lots of buttons.
  13. SharpeXB
    Yeah the action on the throttle is a bit stickier than my last one. Time to look at something more current. The Virpil CDT line has the best form factor and value for me I think.

    Nice solution. Figuring this stuff out is just nuts sometimes!

    Could that mini stick be used for the mouse control in the cockpit? Seems like that might be awkward or a conflict. Can’t figure a use for a second analog stick. Good that it can be reassigned then.

    Good to know, thanks!

    That speed is just inadequate for this or nearly anything else today. I had to look up what that is… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SORM Don’t know what to tell you. Move. Find a different hobby The game can’t be designed around such an inadequate connection. Forget liveries, what about everything else?
  18. SharpeXB
    You can’t expect devs to tailor a game to such inadequate specs. It’s up to you to get better service.

    Can the mini joystick on these flight sticks be assigned to buttons via the software? Like what could be done with JoyToKey? A mini stick on these isn’t as useful as another hat.

    Welcome to DCS Yes that’s what recenter does with TrackIR, very handy. The only improvement suggestion I could make would be to remap that to an easier to find key or stick button than F12. But if that works for you don’t fix what ain’t broke
  21. SharpeXB
    Aha! No I didn’t realize that. Thanks
  22. SharpeXB
    You know when I say “still the best?” it’s somewhat in humor. It’s a device from the 90s. But it serves the purpose. And there wasn’t a 12 week back order. One day I’ll get up the motivation to replace these but I’m not in the mood for mass button mapping right now. Fun discovery, when you get another of the same device the ID# stays the same. Plug in and game on.

    The CM3 or that CDT is on my list. But hey the plastic toy lasted 15 years and succumbed to a dachshund puppy
  24. SharpeXB
    I see the preview versions have loose buttons let’s see how they turn out. Those dials look like they might have too much range for a zoom slider though. It was $172 I consider it a band aid until something convinces me to remap everything I have 15 years of button memory there…
  25. SharpeXB
    AFAIK those are all GPU related settings.
