  1. you're very welcome, mate there's also an alternative from rel4y, but i haven't tried it. it comes pre-assembled. don't know about it's dimensions though, debolestis' ones are very tiny and easy to fit.
  2. just in case you weren't aware, debolestis has developed shift registers that mimick the warthog ones, they're basically compatible to all TM compatible stick bases (cougar, realsim, virpil, even virpil collective). i used it for a DIY project. works great. also debolestis is a great, very helpful guy https://oshpark.com/profiles/Debolestis
  3. yep, that's what i am suspecting too. guess i'll just stick to 2.8 till then. thanks for your thoughts!
  4. @Droning_On thanks. regarding MT: that's the point, i saw absolutely no gain in fps with MT, no loss either, but some weird latency. hence my apprehension...
  5. @Droning_On thanks for your comment i see you have a stronger CPU, also more cores -frankly, i fear my processor might not be able to take advantage of MT, and i am wondering how 2.9 will perform in ST...
  6. guess it depends on how you see it or simply what you're used to. the soviet AH lets you steer your aircraft around a seemingly fixed horizon, kinda like an RC plane. i think that western AH are actually more cumbersome, because they require an interpretation: "my horizon is flipping left - i must be turning right". it's just that once you're used to this, it becomes automatic. and that's why we get totally confused when looking at a soviet style AH
  7. hi all, since i haven't read too many reports from people with weaker pcs, i thought this might be of interest to some of us. personally i run an old overclocked i5-4690k with a 2080ti. after reading some reports i am reluctant to jump to 2.9. (until now i am getting solid 50fps on 4k in the stock instant action hornet/caucasus free flight mission on 2.8.) maybe some of you with similar specs want to share their experience? i think more people would benefit. thanks.
  8. hi @currenthill i highly appreciate your outstanding collection of add-ons to dcs. would you consider making a life raft or floatable pilot? i think a lot of people here, incl. me, would be delighted to see this in SAR missions. could maybe also be useful on servers, where SAR is part of the campaign engine/resource management. thanks
  9. wasnt aware of this, thanks. and also think these issues should be addressed first, before the map is further enhanced
  10. i confirm the issues is still present on the huey when parking on the arleigh burke's deck
  11. @NineLine could some admin please highlight feefi's post as solution? thanks
  12. just wanted to add, here's an example pointing out that this could also be a thing for modern jets...
  13. happy to hear it's still on ED's list
  14. yeah, i got exactly the same reply after getting in touch with the support. i find it disappointing that they dont offer better after sales... anyway thanks @CrashMeTwice for sharing the fix with us
  15. the issue with this "logic" is that low visibility scenarios, where wind typically is around 3kt, will force tailwind landings for no apparent reason
  16. hi @Comrade Doge fantasic job! thank you so much!! would you consider adding VFR flight plan capability to your already outstanding tool? -this would be extremely useful for a/c without RNAV capability, such as the huey, tiger etc and probably all WW2 era planes. a simple flight plan could maybe be displayed on your app (or be injected to the kneeboard, dunno) and look like this: WP HDG TRK DIST ETE #1 335 297 12 6 essential data being (wind corrected) magnetic heading and estimated time enroute. magnetic track and leg distance are for info only. basic workflow would go about like this: 1)user picks WPs on F10 map as usual 2)user entry required: IAS and cruising ALT 3)TAS can be derivated from IAS and ALT 4)wind corrected HDG and GS determined by current wind dir*/speed 5)ETE per leg results from GS *wind direction and track need to be magnetic (magn.variation varies, and can be retrieved using the magvar class -thanks @Chump). please let me know, in case you're interested and if i can be of any assistance. thanks
  17. i see...sounds cumbersome. i would expect, it could pay off anyway?
  18. hi everyone, is there a specific term in the US/UK military for the document, where maintenance lists current defects of a specific aircraft, so that amongst others flight crews can review what to expect on the aircraft allocated to them? i am not talking about the tech log onboard the aircraft. in civil aviation that document would be called f.ex. "hold item list" or "a/c status report". as not every defect puts the a/c AOG (according to the MEL), that list is usually part of the briefing, and might impact preflight decision making. i am looking for the specific term used in the USAF / NAVY / RAF. could be that things are done completely differently in the military...anyway, thanks for any help
  19. qnh scale shows 3100 between 2999 and 3000 on the copilot's altimeter. both ways. track attached uh1-copilot-qnh-setting 2.trk
  20. @Tim_Fragmagnet yes, i think you already mentioned that somewhere. i am very glad you have the understanding and time to dig deeper into what's wrong and how this could be solved. thanks so much for doing this! i'm just thinking, on the other hand, if the autopilot would just follow the heading bug, it would still do a better job despite the FM quirks. and it would be more useful as you could navigate with AP engaged. for info:
  21. correct, and if you do, you can observe the pressure dropping on the hyd press indicator (below radalt). i on the other hand never bothered to verify, if as an effect the stabilators would drop...
  22. i was gonna ask for the same @Bergison as you know, i very much appreciate all your great contributions to the community (incl. the g-seat ; ) is there any chance your moving map code could be ported to ios without too much hassle?
