Any experience with Samsung Odyssey Plus & DCS yet? Should’ve ordered it from the Windows store. I ordered mine on Wednesday and it arrives tomorrow. I originally ordered from the Samsung website, and received a “Ships week of 12/23” notification. Soon thereafter I cancelled that order in favor of this one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Same, they look really bad. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That’s what Wags said on Wednesday but shortly thereafter he deleted the post [emoji1743][emoji3603] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s a push through now (no finger lifts needed, as it should be). Not much of a detent at all, you can push right through it without realizing if you’re not paying attention, but it’s there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Master Arm On to Dispense Expendables? Need to show your EW page for anyone to be able to answer with certainty... But, looking at your switch positions...assuming you haven’t taken and selected Man1, SA, etc on the EW DDI Page, you’re still in STBY. If you want to skip selecting a mode and profile, you need to move the switch up on more position behind the stick into Bypass. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Throttle is set up temporarily with the Wheel Stand Pro... Selective Jettison Knob showed up as well, which will be a big part of the temporary left console/left AUX Project I am working on. While I wait for the guys from Open Hornet to continue their great work on the 3D model and build plans (I’ve come to terms with the fact that they are worlds ahead of me in terms of ability, expertise, etc so there is no reason for me to recreate what they’re already doing), I am working on modeling out a box to bolt to the left console on my Wheel Stand Pro, as a temporary solution until I can move forward with the full cockpit build. I have been modeling it 1:1 with the OH dimensions so that I can just take the top panels off of this box and move them to the real deal once the OH guys are finished with the design. Need to add the inboard wall and bottom, then get started on extending it forward and upwards to include the AUX/left vertical panel (for gear handle, flaps switch, launch bar, selective jettison knob, etc) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That’s great to hear, thanks for the response brother. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nice, any timeline on the Harrier get its pilot body? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

:thumbup: Looks fantastic!

The two buttons you will have on yours are are Otto P1-3xxxx style and they will sit flush to the back of the grip with a bit of a lip outside/around the button. As I said in my prior post, I elected for the Otto P1-1xxxx style, which don't have that lip and sit out a bit further, bc them being raised a bit is more comfortable for my hand. This style of button doesn't that lip around it for them to be screwed in to. Mine is outlined in black, yours in red (could also be the ones to the right of that with the screw fitting)...you can see how mine is a bit more raised up. That's correct, I had surpassed $1500 all-in for the throttle already and didn't want to drop an additional $500+ on a real transducer...so I went with the ALPS mini joystick instead :thumbup:

Have this issue as well, quite often...looking forward to a fix.

This is incorrect, as they have AMRAAM as Fwd instead of Right on the Weapon Select Switch.

Haven't updated anything here in quite a while, so here are some quick updates to get everything mostly current... I've changed my stick base to a VPC T-50, and I am really liking it. I am traveling this week, but when I get home I will get some pics of how I have temporarily rigged it up to work with my WSP for mounting. This is just a temporary solution as I continue with plans to build a fully functional 1:1 sized replica cockpit. I am using it with my 15cm black extension from Sahaj, the stock cams, I swapped in the strong springs (which I have tensioned up), and finished it off with the Warthog grip. Really great combo for me. I am looking forward to Thrustmaster releasing the Hornet grip as well :thumbup While I was waiting for delivery from VPC, I was actually lucky enough to hit one of the VKB ordering windows of opportunity and I ordered a full VKB GFP Mk2 + MCG Pro kit...but after further research and talking to some people who owned both, I opted to cancel the VKB order and stick with VPC instead. I won't go into the details for the decision too much, but mostly because I had no intention of using the Russian style MCG grip, and I like a firmer stick tension, I thought the VPC would be best for me. No regrets on that decision. I also sourced some of the final switches for my Throttletek, namely the Otto T5-MC1212 which is a nice 4-way plus push button that will be used for my Comms + Mids switch. The bright side is that it looks and feels great, the down side is that it cost me more by itself than 95% of full HOTAS systems on the market and had an 8 week lead time for delivery. Alas, I received it and sent it off to Throttletek to be included on my F/A-18C throttle... Speaking of my custom F/A-18C throttle order, it's construction is complete and I got the email from the guys at Throttletek last Friday that it was shipped. It delivered to my home on Monday, but as I said, I am traveling early this week and won't return home until later in the week to finally give the throttle it it's long awaited first testing. Roberto was kind enough to send along some pics before they packed it up... A few notes on the throttle build: I have very long fingers so I opted for the Otto push buttons that sit out a bit further, rather than flush to the throttle grip...it looks a little less clean IMO, but I've always found it uncomfortable trying to bend my pinky finger enough to depress the Red pinky button on the WH throttle, so hopefully this helps with that Not terribly pleased that there is some obvious excess glue used around the push buttons, especially given the cost of the throttle, but it's something I can clean up myself with some time and elbow grease (or a razor blade) I opted for grey instead of black buttons on the push buttons, zero functional differences (same buttom, different color)...just a personal preference I will get a review of this up for everyone ASAP once I've had time to put it through the paces and form an impression. I am also going to be hard at work to build a temporary mounting solution for it as well, but more to come on that later. Other items I've picked up for the eventual cockpit build: Selective Jettison Knob Materials for an ejection seat handle: A friend from another forum was kind enough to help by sending me these raw materials, along with a preprogrammed Teensy2.0. Here is his finished build, which I plan to replicate to the best of my abilities: I also picked up a second RAF Tornado gear handle, same exact one as before, I should be ordering this fully metallic HOOK handle soon as well...the plan is to modify the gear assembly to function as my tail hook handle/switch I've also pre-ordered a Pimax 5K+ VR HMD as well, but that won't be here for months, so not much to say about that for now. I am sure there are a few other parts I've acquired that I am missing, but this level sets mostly where I am at currently. Hopefully with winter being here now I'll be less busy and be able to start making more progress on the actual building of my pit (rather than just part acquisition), which will lead to more frequent updates here.

People are building full pits and operating them in VR via muscle memory, you can’t learn where a few panels are? Don’t sell yourself short my friend, you can do it...it’ll just take a little practice. But once it’s clicks you’ll have the best of both worlds. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Indeed he was, heavily. Then they presumably priced it out of his “approvable” price range, so now he runs around trying to knock them down at any opportunity he has. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Put a large enough deadzone on your stick, any off center movement at all and it won’t set. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not from Thrustmaster at all, unfortunately. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s being double checked. Ground crew does it first before the pilot is going through his startup process/checklist, then the pilot is verifying each is in the correct position as part of his startup. Solid redundancy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Was any progress ever made on engine vibrations for the Hornet, outside of engaging AB? Sorry I haven’t had the time to keep up with all posts. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This will be a prerequisite (along with many other core aspects of DCS) for the success of a Dynamic Campaign. Agree on all points, solid ask. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Correct. Confirmed with Hornet driver previously. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
