Having watched the first part of one of those videos, it appears the licence/serial number we already have is a 2 week trial. I'm just going to buy it anyway.

So what's the point of this: If you get it as a free upgrade? From:

Yup, came here searching for the same thing. Can't seem to install anything in game though.

Hi Drac, I am on Discord, though I don't use it a lot. I'll join the PointCtrl discord though. Thanks.

Hi, Is there anywhere to see what all the different weapons that the WWII planes can carry are - particularly the german one's? Doesn't seem to be in the encyclopaedia. I'm making a mission with a group of Ju88's attacking Manston and just want lots of visible explosions if they get through and drop their bombs but while I can see the bombs come off the plane no explosions are visible beneath them, so I assume I've picked the wrong GP bomb and maybe its delay fused or something.

Hi all, I was one of the people who originally expressed an interest in PointCtrl - think I'm 74 on the list, but then life got in the way and I've lost track of where things are. I've had a look at the website and am now in a position to make a purchase at last. Few questions first if I may? Roughly what's the lead time? I'm in the UK so I expect postage will take awhile and I'm aware we're going to start running into Xmas post. What does postage to the UK normally come to? Does this work with MSFS? From the videos it certainly looks like it. I'm mostly looking at using it with DCS, but if it also has utility in MSFS all the better. I'm looking at the bigger kit with the add on HMS switches. I'm assuming those just show up as programmable buttons in DCS/MSFS etc and you can assign whatever you want to them? I have a reverb G2 and use a ceiling pully system with it, so the cable for the HMS will need to be as long as the Reverb's as it'll also need to go around the pully system. I'm not sure how long the reverbs cable is - I had mine replaced with the newer one some months ago. Does what comes with PointCtrl need an extension or will it match? VFRHawk

Appears to be free @YoYo and works with any joystick according to its webpage. I have a Warthog myself and intend to try this and the elevator trim idea too. Using a trim buttom to map to a slider axis sounds like an excellent solution. Don't want to include a link in case that contravenes the forum rules but a quick google found the site as its top response. VFRHawk

If you have Voice Attack you can have that send multiple key presses when it reads a button or switch on your HOTAS. That's how I get round the flaps and gear lever catches. How to is in another thread somewhere in here - hopefully not this one! VFRHawk

Yeah, that's very useful. I'm going to do the same thing with the master arm, so it uses one button to open the cover and flip the switch. Thanks for the upload. VFRHawk

In the latest Mossie Monday video, it appeared there was no delay and the MG's and cannon fired at the same time? I haven't watched the video again to confirm that, but after I watched the first time I thought "Oh, they fixed it!".

Thanks for the replies everyone, it's odd that I hear all the other aircraft audio in the headset, just not the ground crew - window is definitely open! Does anyone know if there's a separate setting I may have missed somewhere that would send just the ground crew audio elsewhere?

Hi, I use a reverb G2, when I use that if I open the window and ask the ground crew to start priming the engines they do so, but there's no audio acknowledgement of the order. If I play in pancake, the ground crew audibly acknowledge the order. VFRHawk

Interesting. I could of sworn when I pledged the pitch was that there was an initial list, but any planes released after could also be taken instead. I may well be wrong though given how long ago that was. Is it possible to get a definitive answer from the devs please? If that's the case I'll pre-order it, as to be honest this was the plane that I wanted and the main reason I backed DCS WW II. 'Hawk

Hi, I've been saving an aircraft "slot" from when I pledged for DCS WW II all those years ago. Is the expectation that this will be available to take as one of those planes as soon as it releases? As if it's not going to be available to me that way for any reason I'll be (a) pissed and (b) pre-ordering! Many thanks 'Hawk

Hey, Had switch 16 on my Warthog throttle go in to a permanently on condition. I've been in touch with TM and they say they don't have that part. Can anyone give me a location to buy from, and more importantly, the right part number for a remove and replace spare? I've seen the like of mouser but I've no idea what part to buy as they're all just switches to me! It's the left switch on the top row on the throttle, fuel control left or something similar on it. Many Thanks Graham Smart
