Hi Bamse, any news on new product development? F-18, other planes?

Well I initiated the reinstall and pointed steam to the existing folder. It scanned the existing files and it was not necessary to download anything. A minor inconvenience, but it would be nice if the crash and subsequent deactivation could be fixed. Thanks Fragbum

I was setting up my new pedals, and while I was loading one of the quick play mission of the TF-51 the game hung during one of the loading screens. I could not end the program with task manager so I did a hard reset. After restarting Windows I tried to start DCS World again, and surprisingly I got the question whether I wanted to install DCS World. Steam no longer recognizes that the game is installed. But all my files (about 100Gb) are still on the ssd. Check local files does not work as all options are greyed out. Any help to prevent reinstallation and lose of activations is much appreciated. I am running the stable version of DCS world. Not the beta.

MFG Crosswind have been sold. I will leave the Obutto R3volution up there a little longer to gauge interest.

Yeah, it is humongous. Changed price on the mfg crosswind.

Yes, for the Obutto R3volution definitely. It came as a big set of flatpack packages. I don’t remember the weight exactly, but probably more than 20 kg. The Crosswinds on the other hand can be shipped for a reasonable price. I have updated the first post. I normally prefer that people come and pick things up so that they can try it and there are no problems afterwards.

Changed prices

MFG Crosswind rudder pedal set - SOLD Also interested in selling my Obutto Revolution also in excellent condition depending on offers. This includes the extra mounting set for the Thrustmaster Warthog hotas. It includes the monitor stand for one monitor. And some custom fitted cushions I have made to improve the comfort of the seat (see pictures). Retail price including delivery in Europe is 1026,14 euro. My asking price is 800 euro (delivery not included). This thing is so big and sturdy that shipment in Europe is probably around 180 euro. I also do not look forward to dismantling it fully. You can save yourself a day of work as well as a chunk of cash by picking it up pre-assembled (dismantled into two or three large pieces).

Hi Deadman. I was thinking of the Thrustmaster MFD’s situation where the housing is cheap and customers have an opportunity to mod in a screen if they want. I think quite a few people just use those as “dumb” button boxes, but like them because of their faithful reproduction. For me personally, I love the feel and sound of real buttons and using the mouse on the CDU has always been a bit awkward. Secondly, it might be useful in VR using muscle memory. However, if we will get much better finger tracking in VR as mentioned in the newsletter this may be an inferior solution. Anyway, I will stop hijacking the thread. Thanks for your replies.

I am really curious, what kind of price range did you calculate Deadman? How about if it comes without a screen and basically is just a USB keyboard in the shape of the CDU?

Hi Bamse, are you guys considering producing the A10 CDU? There is one competitor on the market, but I think their product at 980 euro is overkill for most enthusiasts. https://www.simparts.de/en/a10c-cdu-en.html If you could produce a competitive product around 200-250 euro similar in style to your UFC you could sell quite a few units. Is my impression of the latent market demand at least.

Thank you for your in-depth reply. I will keep my eyes open for the next opportunity. Enjoy your joystick!

I must be doing something wrong, but my program crashes each time I try to load the 476 mission (Jan 2018 version). I tried both the All ranges and the only 70s variants. I have installed the Range targets mod -June 2018- successfully in the saved games folder. And I can place the new objects in the mission editor, and I see them in my own custom mission. The first loading of the 476 mission goes ok, until I get the menu where I have to press start. Here the loading screen hangs until crash. I have also loaded the mission in the mission editor, starting from the main menu, and changed one of the client planes to player, but that didn't make any difference. I also tried placing the mission files in different folders, but that didn't make any difference. Do you have any ideas?

Thank you for the explanation. I hadn’t realised it was part of the same company.

It also works in the Netherlands. Thrustmaster TPR 385 euro free delivery in the Netherlands

Actually it is sold out. Hope I didn’t get anybody’s hopes up. I am still curious to hear people’s experiences with aliexpress purchases of VKB joysticks.

Hi Blatherman, I am wondering how satisfied you are with the joystick ordered from Ali Express. It is surprising to me as the price is 354 euro, cheaper than the VKB Europe website (405 euro before shipping) and it seems that they have stock available. Do you think it is original?

So I lubricated the motor with a cheap silicone spray and it is now back to the same power level as the others. I attached a couple of pictures for the curious. Thanks for the help.

Hi Andre, some feedback on the problem I was having. Knocking the detective motor brought it back to life. It is not as powerful as the others, but it is vibrating again.

Thanks André and Sporg, I wil check in a couple of days and let you know.

Hi Andre, after about two years of use one of the motors is dead. Do you have any tips for repairing or replacing it?

I have started playing the Georgian oil campaign for the SU-25T, and as it is pretty difficult I have to retry missions a lot. Very frequently the program crashes or freezes on the loading screen when I restart a mission. More than 50% chance. When I try to attach the log file to this message I get the following error message: dcs.log: Invalid File

Thanks for replying on a Friday evening. Well, the movement functionality suddenly does not work at all. I have tried to recalibrate it in the windows game controller menu, but the x-y axis are not recognized at all. All other buttons on the throttle, including the slew push button work perfectly. I don't play frequently so I just noticed one day, and I was thinking it may be a software issue. I tried the windows and the thrustmaster recalibration, updated the firmware, and also switched to another usb connector. That did not have any effect. I expect that Thrustmaster will just offer to sell a replacement part, and in that case I might as well just make the upgrade to your improved system. I finallly might open up the throttle to see if the connector came loose, but I think I will just order one of your improved parts as the slew was a major annoyance even when it was working.

Great initiative Delta. I love it when people in the community come up with their own (superior) solutions. My slew button is starting to malfunction. The press down functionality still works, but the x-y movement is not recognized. I am wondering whether your mod will fix this issue as it includes its own PCB. Can you comment on this?
