Great, thanks for the info Jar.

Maybe it was the Carl Vinson, cause I've been trying some more with CVN 77 with no issues. So when I takeoff from CVN 77 it's like there is an invisible ramp like the Russian carrier. Is that correct? Also when I select 1 in the turn for downwind it changes to landing mode and all the stuff works (G/S LOC, the ball, the Square on the carrier) But no paddles calls. Thanks for the assistance! Cheers, Wingnut

Very nice video. Sometimes I'm on what looks to be slope and when I hit the deck, it's like landing on a trampoline (launches me back up about 300'). :D Other than that it's an awesome mod!

Thanks for the download!

Our group tried using this last night and were getting errors and unable to hear each other. We had installed TS with admin rights and Aries. We are wondering if the latest patch for DCS may have buggered something up?

PRE-PURCHASE DCS: L-39 ALBATROS Discussion Thread
wingnut replied to terence44's topic in DCS World 1.x (read only)
Here's the Albatross from todays stream that Wags did. -
For the price, I'm happy with the X55. Unlike what ever giant hands tested it I couldn't reach the top buttons on the stick so I modded the hand rest which was pretty straight forward and you can see what I did here. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=144122

When his seat arrives it will be just like Christmas. Getting his present to himself :)

HiWay, I did have to eject the other day after ending up with a uncontrollable aircraft.:helpsmilie: Hang on to your hat or should say seat! :lol: For the multi players out there, I went onto the 104th server and tried the F-15 and A10c and the seat worked the same with all the vibrations as for when I'm offline.:thumbup:

My pleasure! Once work stops interfering with my play time (who am I kidding, work can be fun too) I'll try some different planes and helos and start making some adjustments and will report back with anything new. Cheers, Wingnut

So I ordered my KW-908 from Andrey on June 16th. Within 12 hours of the Paypal transaction I had a tracking number and link for the Russian postal site. The seat wasn't released from Russia till the 2nd of July and I received it on July 8. :) I had an couple of hours to try it out. First setting it up is a piece of cake. Download the two programs from Andrey's site then plug the seat in. Start the program and everything is up and running then just start DCS. Woo Hoo! The good stuff now. :) so if your looking for force feed back for your backside you came to the right place. This gives you that seat of the pants feel in some ways, unfortunately it doesn't give you yaw but what it does is great. Yaw would need to be something that presses on your side and not vibrate anyways. Your sitting on the runway and the seat is quiet, as you power up and go into burner you feel a slight rumble from your back then as you start rolling the vibes get heavier. At Vr start pulling back on the stick and once the main gear leaves the ground the vibes stop. Gear up and you feel each gear hit the up locks individually. Once cleaned up and with some air between you and terra firma, try some hard g turns and as you approach the stall you'll get intermittent vibes then pull harder and with the stall warning screaming in your ears your seat is on full tilt! Release the stick and it's all quite again. Now fire that cannon and and feel it in your butt. One of the slickest features I found was when dropping say a GBU-12 you will feel a slight vib from the side the ordinance left the plane from, yes you can tell which side of the aircraft it left from. I pickled one away and thought "gee I didn't feel it come off, weird" sure enough it was still on the rack! Coming back to home plate you deploy the boards to bleed some altitude and speed and feel the rumble in your seat. There is no excuse now to forget the boards and wonder why the performance now sucks as you add lots of power.....I'm sure I'll still find an excuse somewhere. So do the overhead break and take some flap, little vibe then throw the gear out and feel each main lock into place, don't pull to hard to get onto final or you'll get the shudder feeling again.:) Get into the groove in the flare and you got that sweet spot were you aren't sure if you are down (haha, all the time I know right:) well have no fear as soon as the mains touch the runway the vibes start. I knew the ground was somewhere down here. Taxiing in you still have the vibes of the stiffly suspended airframe. Get to parking and shut down, open the canopy and get a small vibe from it and your all done. I haven't played with all the adjustments for the vibrations and had so much fun feeling the bombs dropping that I only played around with the A10c and MIG21. If you want to add some more realism to your game, this certainly does the trick. Coming from a guy who has 17000 hours and flies heavy composite/metal for work and a Tigermoth and Cornell for fun. When I want to break air laws and shoot stuff down and blow stuff up then it's DCS. I can attest to the feelings of gear, flaps, speed brakes, stalls and ground movements adding to your sensory perception with the seat doing its thing. As far as throwing lead from the nose and dropping large metal objects from your wings, I can only go by what I've seen on videos and that seems pretty close to reality. Do I like it......Yes Would I buy it again.....oh yes. Feeling GBU-12s coming off the racks......PRICELESS! Thanks very much to Andrey for helping me get the seat and for doing the work to make it shake in all the right ways! Now only if I could figure out how to sneak this out and get it to fit in my house :))

That's how it goes most of the time. This is how much I would like to spend :), here's your bill:cry:

Lots of screen shots starting about an 1/8 down the page and the F-15 in burner near the bottom of the page but it doesn't do it justice compared to the stream. http://forums.mudspike.com/t/dcs-2-world-live-stream-1pm-21-june-2015/403/34

The Stream was great, I had no lag. Just had to refresh the page after the stream would crash or it would just keep loading. Very excited for DCSW 2.0. Thanks for doing the stream and look forward to the next one! -
Hi Apache600, I noticed in your Attack on team Bravo vid you use the X-55. You may want to check out my mod to the hand rest so you can reach the weapons release and trim hat easier. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=144122

Great stuff, thanks for putting it together and sharing.

Love the AAR and screen shots. They make you want to be there!
