Hi guys! I have the WAR BRD base + my hotas cougar old grip. Have downloaded the latest firmware yesterday, and followed the steps in the manual -load device profile / open firmware update mode / start firmware / close firmware / save device profile. - load device profile / import profile from file / vpc base _war brd + grip _Cougar / save device profile. - load device profile / axis calibration / set center and save / save profile I have the following problem = if I press any button on the stick, and I operate simultaneously the stick back or left, after a specific axis input value the button depression (for any button) is not working . That happens if I keep depressing the button or if I press it first time while , after I pulling up / left. For the guns trigger (second detent), after that axis value all buttons on the stick are simultaneously pressed. With the previous firmware stick worked, but I had from the beginning some sporadic issues. The problem got worse few days ago, so I decided to update the firmware. Buttons are working normally if I don't move the stick. Any idea to overcome with the software this problem? Might this be hardware related? my cougar grip is very old , but I have used it very little. Thanks

Will the classic Jolly Rogers livery with the yellow pilot helmets as seen in The Final Countdown be available ? (please …). On a side note, can we change the pilot helmets or are they tied together with each livery?

After dozens and dozens of touch and to go patterns in the last year, i have found that sometimes the AP doesn't reengage when the stick AP override switch is released (still yellow and not green on the AP panel). The problems occurs , according to my observations a) when establishing wing levels on downwind and releasing the AP switch, to hold the pattern altitude and trim the aircraft for the respective speed. In that case , sometimes i have to press and depress again the AP button to force the AP to work again, in rare cases i have to disengage it completely with the AP disconnect switch and engage it again 2) When on final course to the runway and i momentarily release the AP override to fine tune trim configuration for landing (as shown in this video see 3: 06). The AP doesn't engage and reengage but remains on yellow. The problem doesn't happens always but i see it often.

Also, Zeus, since you are reviewing the hud/ hdd / radar functionality, here are some related (suspected) bugs we have discussed in the past. 1) https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=196471&page=16 (pages 16 - 18. Discrepancy regarding the Aspect Angle between hud / hdd. 2) S530 TTI bug . https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=199346 3) CCM boresight bug. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=3178518#post3178518 . Don't know if it's related with the general CCM target switching bug https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=177221 . You may have perhaps looking at those.

Thanks Zeus! Will the updates be released gradually per system (hud / pca, then radar etc.) or all together ?

Currently in game, you can select VACQ with HMD enabled if you first select WACQ. So castle switch left (WACQ selected) and then down (VACQ selected). Don't know if its a feature or a bug

Yep

Yes, but they' ve said that doesn't mean only a space grip will be developed. In contrary, it's obvious there is an almost equal demand for a space grip and a western grip https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=228722 '' … the overall poll winner was the "Upgraded Constellation Space Sim Grip" with the "Modern Western Fighter Grip" coming in at a close second! Don't worry if your dream grip didn't win the poll - we're very excited to build a complete lineup of interchangeable grips to suit every user … ''. Let's see if the M2000 grip will make it (doubt it but anyway).

I have to ask some questions to improve my bfm performance 1) Other than the pirouette maneuver Matt demonstrated in one of his videos, are rudders used and when during a dogfight? 2) If I want to change 180 roll, like to perform a flat scissor, what is the most efficient way to do that? Should I unload the aircraft first and then quick roll in the opposite direction? Can I simultaneously roll and pitch up? (stick in the full aft right or left position)? Should I use rudders to support the roll ? In low speed, is there any difference if I roll only with the stick or if I use together rudder in the same direction? 3) What about (slow speed) rolling scissors? Is there any different handling required in comparison to flat? And what about throttle use? Should is use full AB constantly or does it help to cut it quickly to mil power during the reversal and then full AB? 4) If I want to perform a loop with a 360 - 380 kts (fuel ca 60%), what are the optimum g' s in each phase of the maneuver?

No twist . Yes Warthog / virpil base compatible. (and yes to a tomcat throttle to)

My advice : virpil WAR BRD base (no comparison with the warthog gimbal design) + the upcoming Thrustmaster or Realsimulator.com Hornet grip (whichever comes out first). For throttle, the Thrustmaster TWCS is a good ''hornet like'' solution. Best hornet throttle replica is currently the (expensive) throttletek product.

Will the pilot become patches on his uniform? Looks little empty now . Really miss the classic mirage 2000 patch (see my signature picture) that we had in the previous pilot.

Don't forget to add in the comments the grip you want. They are taking into consideration the suggestions

To all the M2000 maniacs Virpil is running until 31 Dec a poll about their next grip. There will be 3 winners each winning one of the next generation VIRPIL Controls Grips that will be released in Q1 2019. Currently, there is an option for a ''modern western fighter grip'', virpil have staited that we can specify in the comments what grip that should be. So if someone is interested in a M2000 grip, here is your chance. https://forum.virpil.com/index.php?/topic/137-what-grip-should-virpil-make-next/

Congrats virpil! I enjoy my war brd base, eagerly waiting for the next modern grip announcement. And i'm pretty sure the dcs community wants also a modern western style throttle. My ultimate dream would be a Mirage 2000C hotas, let's hope you will do your magic.

No more desert. 1. Aegean / Mediterranean. 2. Cold war Baltic sea map ( + Marineflieger Tornado variant in the old Grey / White color)

Another vote for a F-15C full fidelity module. So we can have in DCS the complete F-14, F-15, F-16 and F-18 package.

It is very simple. The server has several slots. 1) There are two 1 vs 1 slots . In the left table (''Group'') they are defined as ''1v1'' followed by a number (1 for the first slot and 2 for the second slot) and the aircraft type. The one slot is near Mozdok AB and the other in the north of the map (in the area around Novorossyhisk and Gelendzhik AB). As you can imagine in these slots there is only one aircraft available (you can chose form several types) for the blue and one for the red side. 2) As you move down on the table the ''AIR'' - aircrafts are available. This is the main fight area with missiles and guns and is located between Batumi an Senaki Kolkhi. 3) move further down and you will find the ''GUNS'' aircrafts. Here you have only guns and not missiles. The location is in the Tbiliasi - Vaziani AB area, so far away form the main (missiles and guns area). When you choose an aircraft you will start in the respective location.

1) In the guns only area, which is in a separate location, all the airplanes have guns only and aren't loaded with missiles. 2) This is a DOGFIGHT server so the airplanes have only close combat ir missiles. But you can land in an airfield and load BVR missiles. As it says in the mission description ''Feel free to land and rearm with long range weapons but keep it to a sporty level''

+1

Excellent news!

Thanks! The purpose of the slot is pure dogfighting so no need to be close to an airport. As for aircraft I suggest hornet, mirage , f-15 , su-27 (so modern aircrafts, 2 full fidelity 2 fc3 - including a red one is a good compromise I think). Fingers crossed for the extra slot. And again thanks for the best server out there !
