The way I came at setting up a non-Warthog HOTAS was to try and emulate the Warthog functions THEN make profiles for my planes. All the hints and tutorials for the A-10C then made sense without having to convert in my head. Once I had my A-10C setup then I tried to harmonize the other plane's controls so that common functions were all in the same place, wherever possible. I make graphic control layout sheets, to view on my 2nd monitor, so that my ageing brain doesn't have too much to remember. ;) https://www.dropbox.com/s/d8m4yrtufjvtnlz/DCS_A-10C_Warthog_HOTAS_T16000_mod.jpg?dl=0 I started DCS with my old Thrustmaster HOTAS X. Later I added a T16000m stick, then added a couple of buttons to that. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=145266 Next step for me is to try the new Thrustmaster TWCS throttle with all those lovely hats ... PS I'm not using rudder pedals at the moment as they don't fit in my current physical setup, I use the Rudder Rocker on the throttle instead PPS When trying to decide on the more important functions to map onto the HOTAS, Chuck's Guides are a good ...ermmm guide :)

My testing in 1.5.5 Release Version showed definite deficiency in the 25MPU. Launches both from low and high altitude and inside a 20km range. In addition 2 SEAD Tutorial missions couldn't be completed whereas they could before.

People use both Simple Radio and TS3 to cover all eventualities. Some people use none :idiot: That doesn't help...

Current info (unofficial) is that the 25MPU got given an A2A flight model in 1.5.5 (or maybe earlier). 1.5.5 Release Version

Gives details I've not seen elsewhere, including TMs own site. Convinced me to get the separate TWCS Throttle to replace my old HOTAS X Throttle. I already have the T16000m stick, which I've modified by adding a Pinkie Switch and an Index Finger Switch; paralleled with the almost inaccessible #12 & #13 switches.

I keep this one to test out Patches and Updates. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/994462/?sphrase_id=5042193

I was on 1.5.5 Haven't tried 2.0a latest yet.

Losing Comms Menu - Whartsell I'm losing the Radio/"F" Menu when I select either Huey or Hip It's some incompatibility with Whartsell's VAC Static ATC Menu Mod Tested by removing Whartsell's If I use any other aircraft I don't lose the menu but once I select Huey or Hip the menu is gone until I restart DCS completely. Weird huh? I hadn't noticed before as I'd been concentrating on the A-10C. Went to try some Huey practise and Hey Presto! no menu.

Did you set the plane/vehicle you intend to control as Piloted by "Client" ?

Scuttlebutt is that 25MPU inherited some A2A genes along the way.

Word on the street is that the 25MPU got it's files mixed up with an Air-to-Air missile, that's why it's borked. Can we at least hope to see that rectified this week? It might seem like a little matter but in scenarios like Blue Flag, losing SEAD capability is problematic to say the least.

I've never moved the kneeboard onto another monitor, maybe I'll give it a try. Can't remember default size. Here's what I have at the moment.

Waited all week for fixes for 1.5.5: Su-25T 25MPU A-10C AIM-9 x2 MP Mouse Cursor So far just one fix: MP Cursor :no_sad: Highlights the problem with Friday Updates. Early in the week would be better. Still time before the weekend to get the Fixes out.

Wot no HotFix for 25MPU? :cry:

Not it's finest hour...

Just the one USB cable. The two units are joined by a fixed cable. You can also use them bolted together if you're stuck for space.

Mine's running fine. All shields are green on MP

Gadget stuck on "session elapsed time: 2hrs 35 mins" for half hour or more.

I really benefit from the Rudder Rocker on the Throttle. I can't use rudder pedals in my current set-up and I HATE twist rudder. I happily used the HOTAS X for years until I realised that stability around centre stick wasn't as good as it could be. This was a problem for fine aiming in War thunder but not so much for flying DCS. I added a Thrusmaster T16000m stick and kept the HOTAS X Throttle. This combination works just great for me.

I find that having the TrackIR camera and the Pro-Clip at the same height is best. I have the camera clipped to my monitor on the left side so again it is in line with the Clip. I have the LEDs going high rather than next to my ear and the LEDs inclined so that the lower longer arm is angled in towards my head. With these positions I can move my head in all angles (physically possible) and still track in-game. Setting the response graphs in the TrackIR software is also critical. Set your Head rotation so that when you look at the edge of your monitor, you are looking back over your shoulder in game.

MiG-29 Crash - Mediterranean Pilot's OK though... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-37978463

SEAD missiles, especially the 25MPU, seem to be a lot less accurate that they used to be. I've tested using a few different SP Missions, even the Tutorial and they're falling short or just plain missing (drifting azimuth). Tried from 7-10km alt and still bad, inside 25km range as well. Something's not right with them. Kinda spoils them for Blue Flag use...

Yeah it's borked DCS MP for the weekend otherwise

Simple Radio shows but does not work either.

Guys on Twitch are having their Mouse Cursors disappear . Also Cursor Yellow Cross turning to Regular Windows Cursor for a while, Then disappearing. With and without Mods installed.
