  1. Working flawlessly for a few months now. The twist on the stick is a bit too easy to use involuntary, but otherwise it's great!
  2. In 11th and 15th of June, I ordered some stuff from Virpil since they now accept pre-orders. VPC Constellation Alpha-R VPC MongoosT-50CM2 Throttle VPC MongoosT-50CM2 Base I am happy to say that all products arrived yesterday, it only took a month. I am a bit concerned of comments that the product quality assurance might not be as good as before, but I will test the gear and provide my comments and reflections in near future. The initial reaction is positive. Sturdy good units which are well packaged! The intention is that these will replace my Hotas Warthog kit as well as my Logitech rudder pedals since I am trying to mount everything on a office chair so it all can be easily stoved. I am totally a newbie on Virpil stuff so this will be a interesting trip! The boxes Throttle box with content information The throttle, still wrapped in bubble plastic Unboxed! Also includes USB cable Lets check the other box Alpha Box Base box Box in a box... as usual Neat. Dogtags with the Alpha logo Grip and dogtags Grip and dogtags The base box, with instructions on cams and springs The base Grip mounted on base Kind of looks like the Alien in the Alien movie, doesn't it? Just beautiful! Looks really good and feels sturdy Throttle is just a button galore!! Throttle, base and the base plate I have had a go yesterday night with just some minor configuration to get it going and went for a mission with the F86 Sabre in the Museum Relic campaign. Everything works as expected and it surely feels like a great update to my old Warthog kit. The software is not easy to use, but once you understand it and use it, it grows on you.....
  3. I just want to thank You Hollywood for a great addition to DCS World. A very cheap buy for a excellent and very well made product! Thanks! :thumbup::clap_2:
  4. Logitech Trackman Marble to the rescue for me when flying. I was thinking of getting something like the Elecom Wireless Trackball for Left-Handed and try that out, or something similar to it.
  5. 1st day buy for me as well. You deserve some serious payback for your time spent so I ask everyone to buy the PRO version or send some donations. I am really looking forward to this! Hollywood, You have made DCS world so much better with your investment in VAICOM during these years. Respect!
  6. It looks like a update have resulted in adding this function. In the "Weapons" Category, I have two actions: "Weapon selector turn clockwise" and "Weapon selector turn counterclockwise". However, I can only get the "Weapon selector turn clockwise" to work. When using the "Weapon selector turn counterclockwise" nothing happens. I have tried remapping the keys also, but it does not seem to work. Have anyone had luck with the "Weapon selector turn counterclockwise" action? I can only use the mouse to rotate (or use the direct functions). I have a rotary that I want to use for this purpose :-)
  7. Thanks for the information. I now use Spad.next for my simpit using SAITEK panels. Even though it does not support DCS World (yet), the configuration options are great! Just a simple thing as using the Saitek Switch panel with the gear lever where you can configure delays and then switch the leds to different colors is great. Hope it will interact with DCS soon so that we can have radio channels visible in the saitek panel, as well as heading etc in the multifunction panel. It seem like I can program my Warthog Hotas to use 3-way switches as well, though I need to look into it a bit more. Thanks for the input Krono. Spad.next is now a permanent software member in my simpit :-)
  8. Ah, smart approach. I have similar issues so will try your tip out. Thanks rtimmons!
  9. Time to save up then. Thanks for the tip! :D Much appreciated!
  10. I have been flying the Viggen for a few hours now in VR (Rift CV1) and loving it. Done some training missions and some multiplayer. Yes, I also encounter some stuttering at times, and dials are a bit hard to read even with VR zoom, but you quickly learn the positions for different modes so that's no issue for me. Happy flying!
  11. +1 for this, it makes it a lot easier in a simpit environment. :-)
  12. phew... what a enjoyment that Grudge match was... even MORE hyped now :D :D :D Thanks LN team for showing it off :D
