Remove 2.2 Open Alpha, it's obsolete. And can probably remove 1.5.8 too...not like you're going to want to dabble with the crappy Caucasus map with that shiny new one at your disposal. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You can copy and paste your controls over in less than 10 seconds, so no hours needed there my man [emoji1303] As for the graphics settings, yes I'm sure there will be plenty of tweaking and playing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

DCS AV-8B | Landing the Harrier on the Carrier [Tutorial]
Buckeye replied to 104th_Maverick's topic in AV-8B N/A
Good stuff, buddy. Thanks for putting this together, will be a great help for myself (and many others) to learn this. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
[emoji23] a lot of the true mess was cropped out of the photos haha. Messes drive me nuts but organizing the office loses every time in the battle of "Do I want to organize the room or do I want to fly?" Thanks for the props. I can't wait for my new pedals to get here, then I just need VKB to release some throttle photos so I can decide if I'm going with VKB or VPC... In the interim, not sure if I have posted it in here previously or not...but I sanded the Warthog gimbal down, applied some Nyogel 767A damping grease, and installed a new teflon PTFE ring. All of that paired with the extension and custom spring, it's about the most I can get out of the crappy WH...still, I'm ready for something new (Gunfighter or MT-50).

Hotas Warthog Button Map for AV-8B
Buckeye replied to Mr_Burns's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
Hotas Warthog Button Map for AV-8B Eventually the TDC axis will be fixed by RAZBAM and be useable, correct? That way on the WH we can just use the little TDC nipple as our "TDC Slew" ministick? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
Roger that, thanks for the tip brother! :thumbup:

Introducing the VKB-Sim ‘Modern Combat Grip’ (MCG)
Buckeye replied to rrohde's topic in VKB-SIM Flight Gear
I won't lie, chronic delays or not, I was it was VKB (or even VPC) that was making the Hornet grip instead of Thrustmaster. MCG's looks great. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
VR Cockpit Latest and greatest, office is still a mess but let's be real -- that isn't going to change any time soon. Whenever I actually have a few free minutes away from life/my fiancée, I always chose to fly rather than to finish organizing the room [emoji1303] Really loving the adjustable arms on my new chair...it's really nice to rotate the right chair arm in (as pictured) to hold my stick arm up. Makes long flights a lot more comfortable. Next up: Waiting for my Slaw pedals to get here (now with a self imposed 1.5 month delay, so 4.5 months total, due to a last minute order change). Also will be adding a JetSeat SE in short order as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Introducing the VKB-Sim ‘Modern Combat Grip’ (MCG)
Buckeye replied to rrohde's topic in VKB-SIM Flight Gear
So is VKB's timeliness, from your customers eyes. I wouldn't try to throw shade on them, given the series of events. Just sayin :thumbup: -
Took delivery of this beast today...a Steelcase Leap V2, Black with a Platinum Frame: On the bright side, the chair is incredibly comfortable. I have a Herman Miller Aeron in my office at work and this thing blows it out of the water IMO. I teetered back and forth for quite a while on 1) buying a racing/gaming chair, 2) buying an old actual fighter jet seat, or 3) fabricating a jet seat myself. At the end of the day, I wanted a chair that was well made, comfortable and ergonomic...I found it and unfortunately it was very expensive, but it should last me quite a while and I think my back will thank for me it during long periods of flying (and in the future). On the down side, once I put the seat in my home office (i.e. flight sim room), I realized that my Slaw RX Viper pedals that are on order would look MUCH better if they were in the silver model (pictured below), rather than the all black ones that I ordered back in September. My all black pedals were slated to ship to me from Slaw next week, but today I decided to chang my order with Slaw. As a result, my pedals will now be delayed until the second half of January...hopefully received sometime in early February. This is very unfortunate (especially when I was SO close to having them after 3 months of waiting), but when spending $700+ on pedals and $1000+ on a chair, I wanted to be 100% certain that I am 100% happy with my decisions. I will get pics of the setup with the new chair up sometime in the near future.

I had the stuttering/ghosting off and on all the way up to this last driver update (388.13 was awful for me and I rolled back to 385.xx, I never used 388.31, the one update after that improved it for me but didn't fix it totally)...then I updated to 388.59 and turned MSAA off (because I run Deferred Shading "On" -- running both is currently a disaster)...and all has been well since.

Replied, thank you! Mods, please close this thread. -
how is everyone dealing with clickable cockpit in VR?
Buckeye replied to hannibal's topic in Virtual Reality
Agree. That adjustable kneeboard from MPS that he posted is clutch for wanting to put it on my thigh! I had been racking my brain trying to figure out how the hell I could come up with an easy/comfortable/non-DIY way to strap it to my leg...and this is perfect. -

Buckeye replied to hannibal's topic in Virtual Reality
Yeah...but until this, the options we are discussing are the best options we have. Not sure I understand any of your other points, outside of the one in bold. -
I believe dedicated servers were mentioned by Wags sometime in the past (can't remember 100% for certain, have heard a lot of things "in the works" at this point), but haven't heard anything recently. I wouldn't expect anything with 2.5, but maybe we will have a pleasant surprise.

how is everyone dealing with clickable cockpit in VR? Cancelled the order on the touch mouse from earlier, was lucky enough to catch it before it shipped. Now I'm thinking about getting the below (an actual touchpad haha)...is this what you had before? And you now prefer the LH trackball mouse? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Buckeye replied to hannibal's topic in Virtual Reality
Now THAT might be the winning idea. Not a huge fan of having to strap something to my damn leg every time I fly, but I guess it isn't that big a deal...and a hell of a lot easier than trying to rig together a new throttle/mouse plate for my Wheel Stand Pro. -

Buckeye replied to hannibal's topic in Virtual Reality
Now I'm in a pickle...I can't decide what I would prefer between the little touchpad mouse I've already ordered or a larger truly stationary touchpad. Technically I am going to take the mounting plate for my throttle on my WSP (below) and mount a larger plate (extended out to the left) on top of it for my throttle and the mouse to sit on...so I could make the new plate large enough to have plenty of space to make slight correcting movements with the mouse I've already ordered. Old pic of my setup: -

Buckeye replied to hannibal's topic in Virtual Reality
It's a touchpad, like on a laptop, so the mouse itself never moves...it's stationary. EDIT: OH SHIT! It does have to move, I just misunderstood it. Looks like I'll be sending it back lmao. -

Ordered this guy today, will put it to the left of my throttle on my Wheel Stand Pro...just need to get my hands on a larger plate for the throttle to be mounted so that that they both fit. Should be solid since I will be able to left click, right click, and use the scroll function...without having to have a larger left handed mouse affixed to the plate. https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA73M3SA4886&ignorebbr=1&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleMKP-PC&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleMKP-PC-_-pla-_-Mouse-_-9SIA73M3SA4886&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIxb6stNWH2AIVCC5pCh0AaQtOEAYYAyABEgLuaPD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds -
I am looking to buy the plate pictured below (the one that the WH HOTAS is mounted on to). This was the original plate before the stick adapter was offered. I know most people have moved over to the new stick adapter, so I am hoping that someone has one of these sitting around not being used? I just need the plate, I already have the pole, etc.
