You're trying to map the axes and not buttons, right?

Apparently the steam machine could be as much as $1.2K. That's a lot for what it is

Based on the limited info we have the steam machine is probably somewhat less powerful than your tank03. Also how well you consider something runs very much depends on your expectations re framerate, framerate stability, draw distance, resolution, etc. I have something much more powerful and I'd say it runs DCS adequately (not great) at the settings I want (which includes 4 screens in my cockpit in addition to the actual displays). While it might not be the ideal DCS box, it might well convert some console users to PC, especially given the prices of consoles these days.

It's absolutely my favourite plane to fly, although not so much interacting with it's systems (I'd love a 2000D). A real shame that it's doomed to break with some future update. The possibility of a Rafale for DCS made by Dassault themselves is now on the table though.

DCS does run on steamdeck so it ought to run on the steam machine. I really can't imagine that it's a good option for it though. CPU Semi-custom AMD Zen 4 6C/12T, up to 4.8GHz, 30W TDP GPU Semi-custom AMD RDNA 3 28CUs, 2.45GHz sustained clock, 110W TDP, 8GB GDDR6

Check NineLine's pinned post in the main Razbam section. The resolution was reached at the start of the year and this is part of the outcome. It is very unlikely to be temporary. Since RB aren't going to be maintaining modules, I think removing them from sale was the right move.

Thank you for posting that. I'm currently designing my own throttle and am working on the push thru detents - magnetic detents is an elegant solution. Cheers!

Nice! Maybe file a radius on the corners for extra style points?

No, you would use a terminal block that is specifically for wires that size. What would be overkill about it? Have you measured the pin spacing to make sure you have the correct connectors coming? You need a JST crimping tool. They come in different sizes, make sure you get one that covers your wire size.

I don't know if you ever got anywhere with this but there are a bunch of TF2215MC-B2 20x10 touchscreen used on eBay for very reasonable prices right now.

So get crimp connectors or a terminal block. This isn't difficult. You can even get terminal blocks that don't require you to be able to use a screwdriver.

How many people do you think are in that situation? Most of the potential customers could have bought one when they were available and didn't.

It's cast zinc. (That it what is an almost always meant by "aluminium alloy" - ~90% zinc, ~6% al and WW use that terminology consistently) It's easy to cut with a hand saw, jigsaw, circular saw, table saw, etc. Avoid breathing in any fine dust from sawing (it isn't toxic but any fine dust in your lungs is too be avoided). No special safety measures are required but try not to blow the accumulated dust around, wipe it up with a damp cloth.

The correct way to do that works have been to buy one. That was the opportunity to show interest. People saying they would buy one with no commitment means very little. Then add in the many people that would say they'd buy one but then don't and you can multiply by 10 again.

Do you see a change in the axis value corresponding to that small amount of play? This will provide a clue as to where the problem is.

You could just cut that end off and solder it to a USB cable

Dim exports has been a problem with some modules for a long time.

If it's just a switch box then as rapti says a simple usb game controller board removes this problem entirely. Or, look at solutions like the streamdeck where it's trivial to reconfigure all the buttons (and their labels) on the fly. Also, don't IF THEN ELSE this, this is what CASE statements are for. Somewhere a code tester gets a kidney stone every time you nest IF statements He said that switching the sketch on his Arduino was more work than he wanted to swap between aircraft, changing the whole switch box is going to have the same issue

Yes, the mod managers replace the whole file so if the file has been changed as part of the update they undo that update. I want to insert text into the file not roll it back. I actually have a tool that automates this but it has no interface - I enquired on here if anyone was interested (in which case I would have made it more usable) but no one was interested so I didn't.

Moza use the thrustmaster system not the reverse thrustmaster that winning use.

To make this process easier after each update I keep a test file with a list of my exports. For each I record the file path so I can just paste it into explorer and the text I need to paste into it so that I don't need to remember the export names. Takes a few minutes to re-edit them all.

Three notches is better than the three bumps proposed by other people as it forces the switch to reset between them. Go for a couples of extra notches though, just in case you pull too fast. No harm in sending some extra pulses.

This is the one startup element which requires me to use the mouse, which is very annoying. Everything else is bound in my cockpit.

Here's a simple and cheap solution to make a button input pulse with no software, arduinos, etc. https://forum.dcs.world/topic/299916-guide-simple-cheap-standalone-electronic-solution-for-single-pull-ejection/

Or, even easier, get a board from Leo Bodnar or one of the many similar ones. Connect the buttons and potentiometers to the board, done.
