Anyone interested? I can post photos if needed

A bit pricey for 2 mounts to use with my joystick and throttle.

Could be as simple as making them screw on and off by hand... What evidence is there that the F-18 grip is in production already and not just still in prototype concept?

Have you guys thought about approaching thrustmaster or ED while the f-18 stick grip is still in development about the end user being able to easily hot swap the castle hat and China hat so that we can have accurate representation of a AV8B stick too? If not, do you think you guys from Razbam could get in touch with either ED or Thrustmaster and discuss the possibility of the addition of this feature to their future F-18 stick design?

this link gives you some insight as to what goes on in an air to air engagement from the perspective of the RIO, from search to engagement...which in this case was BIO Baranek. Also, dives into tactics a bit too... http://www.topgunbio.com/radarsearch/

Just saw this photograph on google image search when looking for KC-135 images and I was wondering if this was a F-15 dumping fuel

Better than paying $100 just for shipping from your competitor Virpil to the USA... Would rather put that towards some other device like MFDs... Are you guys going to make desktop mounts similar to what Virpil has done?

here is what we need folks, I have actually seen this very thing where I live (2 F-18s refueling off a KC-130) the navy flies training right over my house as i'm near NAS Pax River. These guys where flying really low and very slow when they were doing this training. (note I didn't take this picture, I just searched the web for something similar to what I saw) Apparently, the KC-130 can air refuel quite a bit of probe aircraft... F-14, AV-8B, CH-53, A-6, Mig-29... Etc, you name it... Now the only thing is, it is not launched from a carrier obviously but rather from a ground base. here is a web article on the USMC KC-130J from the commanding officer of one of the squadrons. http://www.sldinfo.com/the-kc-130j-and-usmc-operations-the-maturing-of-the-osprey-as-a-partner-for-change/ so, food for thought...

Is there a website similar to this USN one for USAF publications? https://www.cnatra.navy.mil And what is your buddy in training for?

Nice videos, just curious what you have been using as real life references? I am aware that the USAF and USN although similar, use different tactics and procedures as well as formations.

Our pilots need those special glasses tho, so they don't go blind

The part on the shapeways store makes it so you no longer have to lift up, now you just have to push past resistance at the military power detent.

I ordered the warthog throttle detent and it works like a charm... Very pleased with it. No more pull up and push for afterburner, just push through now, perfect solution

Please can we have working and effective helmet sun visors for all DCS modules? Right now only certain modules have them and it is sporadic. I would request that they be realistic and synchronized in multiplayer environment. For example, if IRL the pilot doesn't wear a helmet, then don't add it for that aircraft. Try to be realistic and logical with its implementation.

When the f-18 comes out will we get a working Sun Visor for the pilot?

Why doesn't the F-5 have a working helmet Sun Visor for the pilot? The Mig-21 has it, the M2000C has it... Can we please have it added for the F-5 since it is supposed to be a BFM beast?

Pretty sure we didn't know the Hornet was officially in the works until after the F-14 was officially announced.

For anyone interested, I'm willing to sell my Suncom HOTAS setup converted to USB VIA FUSBA from realsimulator.com... I upgraded to a HOTAS Warthog. The only issue I have with mine is one of the throttle POTs needs replacing in order to operate as a dual thottle, they can be slaved together so they mirror the same input and work similar to a single throttle using the FUSBA software. The realsimulator guys have POTs they sell for replacing, just shoot them an E-mail. http://realsimulator.com/html/fusba.html

But there lacks a dedicated thread for only hype.

I hope in the not too distant future, the shipping costs to the USA can be substantially reduced. Otherwise I would have no choice but to go lwith a competitor's products (VKB). I'm very interested in the desk mounts (competitors are not as adjustable and very expensive) but my desk thickness measures 1.5 cm not 2 - 6cm. Would it still work on my desk?

Why do we not have a Tomcat hype thread? I mean the Hornet has one and the Tomcat was announced first.

My USB converted full suncom setup is still for sale just so everybody knows Lots of suncom fans out there

But such a shame we have not heard any news on this yet, i'm very curious...

IDK, I may just have to bite the bullet on the shipping... But I really would like to put the $100 towards the stick grip.
