Thanks for the plug!

If you're just looking for the HOTAS Commands to assign: // Command File // Game: DCS F/A 18C (SIM) // By: Ken King // Date: 9/8/2018 // // HOTAS // // Throttle // ATC-ENGAGE/DISENGAGE t CAGE/UNCAGE c COMM-1 RALT \ COMM-2 RCTL 2 DISP-FLARE d DISP-CHAFF e EXT-LIGHTS(OFF) l EXT-LIGHTS(ON) LCTL l RAID/FLIR/FOV-SEL i RDR-ELE-DOWN - RDR-ELE-UP = SPEED-BRAKE-EXTEND LSHF b SPEED-BRAKE-OFF b SPEED-BRAKE-RETRACT LCTL b TDC-DEPRESS ENT TDC-DOWN . TDC-LEFT , TDC-RIGHT / TDC-UP ; FINGER-LIFT-L/R 0 FINGER-LIFT-LEFT LSHF 0 FINGER-LIFT-RIGHT LCTL 0 // // Stick // AP/NWS-DISENGAGE(PADDLE-SW) a GUN-TRIGGER(2ndDETENT) SPC RECCE-EVENT-MARK r AMRAAM-SELECT LSHF d GUN-SELECT LSHF x SIDEWINDER-SELECT LSHF x SPARROW-SELECT LSHF w SENS-CTL-SW-AFT RALT . SENS-CTL-FWD RALT ; SENS-CTL-LEFT RALT , SENS-CTL-RIGHT RALT / TRIM-LEFT-WING-DN RCTL , TRIM-RIGHT-WING-DN RCTL / TRIM-NOSE-UP RCTL . TRIM-NOSE-DN RCTL ; UNDESIG/NWS s WPN-RELEASE RALT SPC // I have them assigned as they would be (as close as possible) per the NATOPS in both DCS as well the VRS Superbug.

I'm using a combination of the TM Warthog Stick and Throttle with CH Products ProPedals, two CH Products MFPs as well one and a half, CH Products Throttle Quadrants. Obviously, not listed are the MFPs, Throttle Quadrants and ProPedals.

Finally got Control Manager to cooperate in Win7 compatibility mode, so, you never know ;)

Heh, who do you think wrote that one? ;)

This may help... http://simhq.net/downloads/technology/HOTAS.zip

I stand corrected Sir. :doh:

Thanks, again. Gents believe it or not, this isn't my first rodeo. I actually get to work with (read play with) the UH1Y, AH1W, AH1Z and MH60S, in the real world. I played with the AH and UH at MCAS CPEN for 20 years. Now I get to play with the MH60S. I did contact BHTI on an unrelated project I was considering. BHTI wanted mucho dinero for any data they would have to provide as well permission to use any Bell related copyrighted material. I have the material I'd need to pull off the project IF PMA 276 were to grant me authorization to use (for personal use) the material I have available to me.

Yes, I know. I'm in the business ;) Bell Helicopter, Cessna Aircraft, Beechcraft

Fixed :thumbup:

DING DING DING! Thank you! So, again I ask: How does one get a licence through one company that clearly does not represent BHTI?

Agreed, not hard to Google, and I did before I asked the question which led me to more questions and scratching my head saying to myself, hmmmmm

Speaking in riddles? Copyright as in © as in Bell as in, intellectual property OF Bell/BHTI, NOT Skyjet International LLC. How does one get a licence through one company that clearly does not represent BHTI?

Apparently Skyjet International LLC (per the packaging of the module) is whom the licence has been acquired through? Am I mistaken? Like I said, not trying to stir any pot, just trying to be clear. Also, like I've stated, I've worked with Bell and NAVAIR for over 20 years. Bell/BHTI is VERY protective of their intellectual property. They own all the simulator software (the real deal) for the AH and UH currently in the inventory. Oh, and then there's this: http://www.bellhelicopter.com/legal/copyright-notice

BHTI = Bell Helicopters. I've been working with them/NAVAIR for over 20 years.

The lack of replies with 70 (at this point) views, speaks volumes to the "licensing agreement" with BHTI.

I hope. Who is Skyjet International LLC? Not trying to stir any pot here but I know that BHTI covets any and all of their intellectual property. i.e. images, data...

Thank you Sir! :thumbup:

There seems to be an issue with the Rotor Brake command (LSHF r) See Here

Oh Oh... http://www.gamespot.com/articles/mad-catz-cutting-37-percent-of-total-workforce-ami/1100-6434652/

Sorry, now that I look at your statement I may have read it and understood it wrong. Overall, I think we can agree options are out there. Here I am still flying the *friendly* skies with my now 16 year old FighterStick, still performing as it did when I brought it home from the factory (CH Products). Yes, that's where I purchased it from. ;)

Bash all you'd like. I'm not bashing, just pointing out the obvious. I hope, in time they do, do well. It's all about the options. Brands that is. I as well many other CH Products users have taken it (bashing), for years. No worries, I know the *look* as well *feel* of CH Products is dated, and there hasn't been a new product since the Eclipse Yoke. I get it, wish it weren't so, but it is. What they do produce, they keep up with the demand, no problem. Still, I'd rather spend $301.00 USD on a full HOTAS + Pedals, your mileage may vary. Nice discussion Forum there!

So let me get this straight; For $301.00 USD I can get one of these joysticks: (appears to be sold out at the moment) And for that same $301.00 USD or less I can get a full CH Products HOTAS to include pedals. Also, "scalable" depending on the stick choice: FighterStick, CombatStick, FlightStick. Sorry, I'll stick with what I've got. Thanks. Not to mention, there is also a working forum for CH Products for programming tips, software issues, questions... all answered by a very robust community of CH Products users (to include myself).
