I finally managed a proper test session with my new Jetseat, following a few technical issues with VR and VoiceAttack. What can I say? It is a fantastic piece of equipment that adds so much to the whole experience. I am absolutely blown away to be honest. The Jetseat, coupled with VR, is just a match made in heaven. I now know what you folk meant when you said you couldn’t fly without it. A big thanks to Andre is in order methinks :)

Thanks. I don’t know what I had done wrong, but when I fired the pc up for a new session the F-5 was indeed in the drop down menu.

Thanks for that. But I couldn’t see a list within the Aviators package. The drop down list only shows a generic one each for props, jets and helis. I tried the A10C, and when I went back to the software it also showed that one in the list. But then I tried the F5, and it didn’t offer a profile. That’s why I wondered if there was a list, to take the trial and error out of systematically firing each module up.

Is there a list anywhere of DCS planes/helicopters that are supported?

Thanks for the info. Looks like I have a loose connection or something, as the two front motors sometimes work in conjunction with the two arse motors, and sometimes not. I’ll delve deeper.

Just received my Jetseat, courtesy of Andre. When I run the test software, it only has the option for testing 6 of the 8 motors, omitting the two below the thighs, or the front-most motors. Similarly, when in DCS, there appears to be be no engagement of them either. Is this normal, or am I missing a setting somewhere?

Thanks VitS. I just checked, and mine is shown as processing. So all good :)

Has anybody heard anything from BestWare, in Germany? Apart from my initial confirmation of order, I’ve had no further updates.

Maybe you’ve got a real posh post code, and they figured you can afford it? :harhar:

First the good news...... I’ve finally received notice that my JetSeat is ready for delivery. The not so good news..... I owe £54 in customs charges The lousy news...... In typical Sod’s Law fashion, the soonest I could have it is tomorrow. However, tomorrow I travel away to work, so shan’t see it for quite some time. The letter from ParcelForce has been perfectly choreographed to feck me over in the cruellest possible way. Oh well, at least it’s definitely coming :)

Thanks Buccaneer. That is quite a slab of info you have posted there. I shall certainly use it as a source of reference if mine ever turns up. Much appreciated :)

Thanks. Glad you got yours okay. I’m guessing mine will come the day after I go away to work. That’s how things usually pan out for me, lol. So probably won’t get to join your thread for at least a fortnight. How are you liking it so far?

@Buccaneer Did you get your hands on it in the end? My tracking log has changed. It is now saying that it’s at “The Post Office” until September 22nd. What Post Office? I’ve had no email, text, phone call, or notice pushed through the door. Did your tracking go the same course as this?

“Alexa, play Thin Lizzy”. Sorted :)

Yeah, that’s beyond the VAT rate, so seems excessive. Mind you, they’ve got you by the bollocks, so what can you do.... Have they given you any clue as to delivery date?

Bloody hell. That’s a right royal stinging! I’ve just checked the status of mine, and it’s finally in England now. Although it says the invoice is missing, and the Jetseat has been retained by customs. So I’ll see what happens next. Looks like yours is imminent then. Fingers crossed for a speedy final push.

Thanks. Hopefully it won’t come to that, but it’s good to know.

Okay, thanks for your reassuring words. I shall wait some more :)

I’m not impatient, just concerned. If someone from the UK ordered a week later than me, and theirs is in the UK now, then something is a little odd. The COVID situation applies to both of our orders, not just mine.

Yes, mine is showing as “Released by Custom House“, in Khimki on 6th July then nothing.....

Your good news inspired me to check my tracking again. Nope. Still sat there. In fact, it had already been sat there for 2 days when you placed your order. Alarm bells are ringing a little bit now.

Looks like they are having a laugh with mine then, as it was posted on the 3rd, and is still languishing in Russia. It hasn’t budged since the 6th.

I used to be a postie, and have put plenty of cards outlining customs charges to be paid through people’s letterboxes. Looks like I’ll be on the receiving end along with you soon then. Hope the shafting isn’t too severe. When did you place your order?

Yes, from. Bestware.

I’m bracing myself for a good, old-fashioned stinging session courtesy of HM Customs.
