FYI - the key bindings mapping will be released in an upcoming patch so you'll be able to map all functions to HOTAS/Devices etc

Like this idea mate looks good!

Hi Gents, having the same situation with Schaefer getting FUBAR'd in a nano second despite me "planning" ahead and doing everything I can kill everything before it's gets a shot off. I think its the tanks that immediately lock on and fire thus killing Ze German. Got to say - thoroughly enjoying this Campaign though.

Can't feel any worse than me looking at my Frankenpit! That guy is on another level and so is yours so far mate so stick with it!

Hope you're putting some padding on that or it's operation numbarse for you sir!

I feel your pain mate as I had been looking for quite sometime for an option for my own pit. I think your options are: 1. Look on Ebay for an actual flight seat from an old aircraft 2. Get a car seat and cut out a section and tidy it up (I've done this) 3. I saw some guy a while back trying to do a kickstarter for a pit for star citizen where he'd done a full pit but what interested me was the seat he used as it looks nice neat and as per purpose. Might want to contact him. https://forums.starcitizenbase.com/topic/19414-speedmaster-kickstarter/

Pretty cool Mr Burns! Where did you get the panels done? Also - recommend going down BnQ and getting some black flat head screws to use other than the silver countersunk ones. They will fit nice and flush and make it look neater :) What are you going to do for the air vents to the sides? I've been struggling for an answer to this for a while now and can't make up my mind!

Not sure to be honest mate, my good friend and shrek squadron member BigNewy has implemented a spring loaded lever to simulate the folding wings but not necessarily for the FA18 in mind but it does work. I've asked him to post a link of it working here so you can take a look. If the tail hook/wing fold in the FA18 is twist and pull that will add some complexity but I'm sure I can do something ghetto for it!

Pit - Update Been a while but I've been enjoying the pit and slowly adding to it. Since the last post I've added the following features: LeoBodnar boards x2 Retractable Mouse platform (right knee) Keyboard mount Viggen Data Panel (bottom right of front panel) Master Arm/Spin Recovery switch (next to the roght MFD) Rotary encoder above master Arm for manual QFE settings 2xRotaries and two switches (on off on) below center lilliput screen for Viggen QFEs/HUDs/various bindings on different aircraft Mater Arm/Jettison Stores switch (Left of LEFT MFD) Raspberry PI+touch screen Tornado undercarriage switch (left knee) Viggen thrust reverser pull switch Prototype Jetseat from Andre Configured Helios for Viggen screen bindings To do: Create a proper seat mount which is adjustable or build a new seat from scratch and ditch the Audi seat. Cockpit flood lighting Folding wings handle Radio Rotaries Tail hook lever A10 CDU Aircon - yes air con or fans - will get some louvres for the two holes currently covered by panels at the top of the front console and feed some pipes/fans and ducting then map to switches in the pit. Currently working on making a Harrier Nozzle lever so working MDTDarkEagle aka Tin Tin from 9th Shrek Squadron. Need to re do the upper side panels and paint as a few hacks at some other ideas didn't go as planned.

Agreed - this is over zealous GLOC modelled. It does need to be refined to less extremes.

What a fantastic concept and well executed project! I'm highly impressed! REP inbound sir!

This made me spit my tea out and choke laughing. Great reply. Still very much looking forward to getting more info on these peddles though!:thumbup:

Totally agree with this as I'm looking at trying to come up with a solution to the Harrier Nozzle angles now ready for when it comes out. i'm just happy to get the control stick for the FA18 for the moment as it's a start!

I've got three MFDs now ready in use. DCS picks them up all as separate MFDs so this should not be a concern. I don't use TARGET.

No mate should have been clearer. I've got updated code not released which I'm testing for Ragnar.

Ragnar your mailbox is full again and I need to report some bug with the last patch for testing ;)

That column is a work of an Art and I'm mightily impressed/jealous.

Gotta love the efficiency of ze Germans. Thanks non the less ;)

Ok cool thanks though what's tl;dr;ds?

All, I'm trying to troubleshoot an issue I've noticed in the last few days. DCS Viggen open Beta : Cold start instant action mission and MP and other SPs. Problem: Start aircraft as per check list and manual. Course ring zeros itself to the 12 oClock position i.e. a south to north direction. Flag disappears as expected No lights are on the warning panel. Once the plane is moving the CI ring remains in position and does not rotate to the direction of travel/bearing. Observations: Looking at the NAV information in the hud there is a 8digit number at the bottom left corner. - Not seen this before This issue does not exist on DCS release - bit odd Troubleshooting actions taken all resulting with issue still present: Full shut down and restart as per manual. Tried pressing reference button Reload cartridge HOT Reset master modes to BER for a few minutes and then set NAV Turned off master mode and turn it back on after a few minutes(classic IT style) Run a DCS Repair Removed module and reinstalled Changed the start up order - no ground crew and manual Workaround I found this by pure fluke and in a fit of frustration/tantrum. Start up as normal, once the plane is moving input some rudder to the left or right whilst simultaneously pressing the reference button. I've repeated this several times and it does remain consistent. So - over to you - what the bloody hell is going wrong here or what am I doing as i've not ruled myself out as the problem although as mentioned, this only happens in beta.

Was this a single player mission or a MP mission that you are hosting or someone else?

Can anyone post a Youtbue vid of the script working please?

Ragnar your email box is full and we can't send messages. Can you PM alternative contact?

To save me from reading through 127 pages and is a daft question but does MIST need to be installed on the server or can I just install it to my local laptop create the mission and then export to a dedicated server? Apologies for my noobishness.

Roger that and have also tested on another dedicated server. Same result unfortunately.
