  1. Agreed, Unfortunately, we seem to be sorely lack in Flight focused seats for sims, i.e. with a cutout. The only units that I've seen for sale in the UK are the Monstertech (cost=ouch) and the NLR, which I get the impression is a not the most comfortable. That's why I'm currently using a s/h car seat with my setup. The only Flight seat I've seen that looks likely to be comfortable is the SimFab unit, which I get the impression is primarily for the US market. There is an Eu seller. As for harnesses, I bought a s/h Willans 4 point, which had been used in a track car. Dirt cheap as they have a "best before date" and does help with immersion, even if it's doing nothing genuinely useful.
  2. No, we weren't using DCS. We used FS2024 or 2020. Whilst I tried a variety of manoeuvres, all just felt a little slow in their reaction speeds and as a result, felt less natural. As mentioned, with the cost, space issues and required tweaking involved, taking the risk that it "might" be possible to dial it in seemed a bit of a jump too far. In addition, I know someone who had a DOF3 and eventually sold it on.
  3. Hopefully just me being stupid, but I couldn't see any bindings or something to click on with the mouse to open the doors for the pilot and co-pilot. Am I missing something obvious?
  4. Sounds interesting. Just so we understand, do you have personal experience in this area?
  5. I’m part way through my semi regular walkthrough where I fly all of my modules. Helps me not forget, I like the variety and along the way I get to refine my kneeboards for my HOTAS layout and guidance.
  6. Heatblur did giveaway a T shirt with the F4
  7. I was out in the Mossie today, which I'm hoping one day will get AI Bill, i.e. a navigator. What struck me was that a script could be a really cool interim solution. What I was thinking of was a script that would: On a button press, advise the ID number of the next waypoint, it's heading from your aircraft, and estimated time to arrival at the waypoint based on the current ground speed. To keep it simple, for that to be a message on screen On a button press, to select the next waypoint, no need to display it On a button press, to select the previous waypoint, no need to display it Whilst it was the Mossie that got me thinking about it, it would also be useful in other multi-player aircraft, e.g. Huey, Hip, Hind. Apologies, my scripting skills are pants. Does anyone already have this as a solution or could put it together?
  8. Question for you guys, can you destroy the walls around buildings in Normandy?
  9. Just have multiple groups, put them in racetrack orbit at the opposite starting point and with 2000’+ height difference. Personally, I now give my tankers unlimited fuel, so as to avoid needing the set up triggers for replacements.
  10. Being fair, I had mine for probably 5 years and gave it away in working condition, though the throttle axis was clearly a bit "dirty" by then.
  11. And your speculation is based upon what?
  12. My first throttle was a CH Pro. When compared to say my Virpil CM3, the CH is frankly not in the same league. Fewer buttons, just one throttle axis, fewer buttons, nothing like as sensitive or accurate and felt like it was made of kids toys plastics in comparison.
  13. I put my thoughts/experiences from the DOF3 and DOF6 demo here: As mentioned in there, during the demo, I really wasn't that impressed, though I could certainly see the potential if it was possible to improve the response speed, and even more so whilst in VR. In the meantime, feels like a lot of dosh for something that might not really deliver, would require a re-think on the position of my current rig and I'm guessing will introduce a number of additional headaches with regard to maintenance of patches, interaction with my other sim bits etc. I think I'll be using the potential funds towards the next VR headset, whatever that might be.
