  1. my crosswind s/n Serial Number: 1560 Call Sign: Lion 13 Location: USA
  2. Game Trix ECS (engine control system) from VKB Europe I bought a VKB Fat Black MAMBA MkIII, ordered in 11/2015 and received it in late 02/2016. Documentation for flashing firmware/Configuration for creating profiles are in Russian. They are working on English documentation. I bought an Gametrix ECS (engine control sysdtem) , was originally a VKB product. It does not have a lot of buttons, but that's OK as I was always inadvertently pushing buttons on my throttle. It does have a friction adjustment for the throttle, which I really like,as it prev3nts throttle drift. It has a 3 Mode switch and is programmable but manual and software are difficult to get and would be in Russian. There are some Youtube videos in Russian.

  3. Edit: Both Versions fail to load missions,get win program troubleshooting dialog.
  4. I installed DCS 2.0 alpha to a new PC. I had to enter the serial number for each module, as it was installed. In Module Manager, The Serial numbers were present. I then decided to install DCS 1.5 beta. At the end of the install, a dialog box appeared that gave me a list of my modules that could installed. I was never asked to provide a serial number. I installed all my modules. I open DCS 1.5 Module Manager and got a No Key instead of the Serial Number. The same thing happened in DCS 2.0 Module Manager. All the Modules are working in both DCS version. Is this a Bug? How do I get the Serial Numbers to appear or enter them?
  5. Does anyone use two(2) CH Pro Throttles for their A-10C controller setup? I do not want to invest in yet another HOTAS system.
  6. RE: rudder causes bank The landing technique the instructor used was to lower the wing that was into the cross wind and used the rudder to maintain runway alignment (cross controlled). My technique was to apply rudder to point the nose in to the cross wind enough to maintain runway alignment. I do not recall having to compensate for any bank, probably because not much was required, so its likely i did so. Tthe crosswind technique, required almost full right aileron for the cross controlled method and a lot of rudder, it felt awkward, where as the crabbing style felt natural. I do remember my instructor saying, ' if you don't get her pointed straight before you touchdown you'll bend something.' This was over forty years ago.
  7. re: rudder causes bank I soloed in a Cessna 152 Aerobat, and used to crab it in cross wind landings ( as opposed to the cross controlled technique). AIRC it did not bank when side slipping. It's understandable with a swept-wing a/c. Thank y'all for the clarification.
  8. When I apply some rudder to side slip, the a/c banks in the direction of trhe rudder applied (left rudder = left bank). Is this normal, a problem with my controls setup/controllers, a bug or reality? Thanks
  9. ALERT: Christmas will be in Janurary 2016. I was hoping to make the December shipping list, but made the January 2016 list. In anticipation, I have already made the mounting board for my homemade simpit.:( Oh well, on the bright side, the money will stay in my account earning 0.05% interest.:megalol:
  10. Vector Clip The only compliant I have about the Vector Clip is the bill of the baseball cap interfered with my view. I have mounted the clip to my headset with velcro, and it works with out any problems. I do not believe the is limited to 4 deg of freedom. The degrees of freedom is determine by the program. A word of caution: If the IR tracker screen may sense other light sources, especially if it faces a window. This can result in unstable tracking and sudden changes in your view. You can determine this problem by looking at the camera view in the setup app. I you get red spots or blobs, you have a un-wanted light source. Close the drapes and/or turn off room lights.
  11. Try installing as Administrator. my install into win 10 was without problems. I don't use steam.
  12. Generator on line cue. When the Radar Inverter Warning Light goes out, the generator is online, around 45% power.
  13. Thanks for the link iFoxRomeo, thank you for the link. When radar inverter light goes out (about 45% power), the generator is online.
