Interested if anyone is using the F16EX stick in flying the F4. I certainly cant figure out if it's useable or if I need to invest in a dedicated FFB stick for the Phantom.

Reposted from the Winwing section as this may be a more suitable location: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Looking for suggestions on a folding mounting option for my MIP setup. I have DOF reality motion base and would like to have a folding option to stow away the MIP setup when not in use. Any suggestions are welcome ! Something like this at 3:20

UPDATE in case this helps anyone ... Once I connected and installed the drivers for Pimax hand controller, I had to uncheck the "Enable Hand Tracking Module" In OPEN XR runtime. That reenabled my Pimax Crystal in VR.

Yep, everything was running fine and was setup with Pimax XR then out of the blue, DCS doesnt see the Crystal any longer ?

Ive been successfully flying around with the Cystal in Open XR for about a week, then BAM - DCS cant see the Crystal any longer? When I switch to Steam VR its fine again. Here are my OPEN XR settings :

That plus a recalibration helped.

Anyone experience tumbling in the Pimax space home screen with the Crystal ? I've been flying successfully with the Crystal the last few days and then all of a sudden today, on log in to the Pimax client, the space screen starts a slow tumble which then extends into DCS.

I missed inverting the curves ! Thanks.

My wheel brake stays activated after the initial press. Both Left and Right brakes individually. I can initially taxi but after the initial press of the brake, it just stays locked ?

Here is the dialogue with WinWing on getting the F16EX to work with the lastest firmware ( on Orion 2 base ). Once the F16EX updated on version 1.82, i then updated the SIMAPP through the settings to the latest version and all is operating well.

Extremely useful. Thanks for taking the time to show this process.

Update: I am now running SIMAPP PRO 1.82 and my F16EX grip and Orion 2 are updated with latest firmware and operating normally. I suppose WW will make a software correction to the latest SIMAPP to prevent this from being an issue. *UPDATE* - Once SIMAPP 1.82 was able to run with my F16EX and Orion 2, I updated the SIMAPP to the latest version with no further complications for the F16EX firmware issue. Roundabout way to do it but their suggestion worked.

I was able to successfully update my ORION 2 joystick base, but when I reconnect the F16EX, both go to BOOT mode again ( needing firmware update ).

So, my F16EX and Joystick Orion 2 base both show the latest firmware update yet they still are requesting to be updated. Any thoughts on how to get back on track ? https://ibb.co/Bn1KXV0 https://ibb.co/r4L0FWt https://ibb.co/pb9pQwd https://ibb.co/Hqjqw0j https://ibb.co/1Xhy7tD

Thanks ! Just getting back to this hobby and I have to spool back up on hardware requirements.

May I presume that the finger lift for the Orion 2 base unit is different for the F15E vs F18 ?

Thank you !

Haven’t flown DCS in over a couple years and waiting to get back to the virtual skies. From what I can read the Winwing F15E and EX grips are the same for the left quadrant but differ for the right side ? Can Someone help me discern the difference and the community preference for these grips ? many thanks !

self corrected by connecting these two extra devices to a dedicated USB Hub directly connected to my PC.

So I had my setup running smoothly with MIP until I plugged in my new Orion 2 throttle and F16 EX joystick then it seemingly interrupted the display properties of my computer or SIMAPP or both. On my display settings, I am now seeing 8 devices instead of the previously set 6 shown in the Monitors section with one of my DDI's monitor blanked out now. Anyone else experience similar issues and any successful corrections made ?

Anyone replace the Warthog Throttle with the Orion 2 Throttle in terms of attachment to the base plate ? I have the F16 rail guide attached as well which makes the attachment points rather limited ? Any guidance or suggestions are welcome. thanks !

Thanks !

Anyone know where I can find an EM performance chart for the hornet ? At least what's being used for the DCS F18 ?

Is a robust ATC system in a future roadmap for DCS ? One of the things I miss from BMS was the ability to be vectored in the terminal area in IFR conditions.
