No issues here beyond ensuring that I have enough powered USB hubs to keep them running. I have Virpil throttle, collective, stick and panels, WW panels, TM rudders, Total controls panel and an F18 replica panel.

I now use a pair of TM TPRs.

Sounds like you’re up and running. Two points that spring to mind, which won’t help performance, but might be useful: - out of the box, I found the QP very uncomfortable. My solution was a pack of 4 Zeltauto straps (£11 on Amazon). I use three over the headband and makes it massively more comfortable - the inbuilt audio is crap. Koss KSC75s. They’re dirt cheap and not amazing quality by a long way. They do however work fine and again are for me, comfortable to use

MFG Crosswinds now provisionally sold.

Looking forward to trying this out later today

I’ll leave that assessment to a DCS developer.

Me too, but if these were relatively easy to do, it might widen the usage of DCS, bring in more players and thus help fund future full fidelity modules.

Utterly awesome. This community really does have some amazing contributors.

Please come and add a log file to help them diagnose the issue.

I was just using the ME with the Afganistan map. Whilst adding some statics, the game stalled and had to be exited using Task Manager. Whilst checking in Task manager, DCS was using circa 20GB of RAM (showing as 9GB) in processes, was using ALL of 1 of my CPU cores, 50% of another and then a bit more (8 core CPU). Seems a little excessive for a flat screen editor. Log file attached. dcs.log

Last call on the remaining items for sale. If I get no offers in the next week, these will be off to the Bay.

Being fair to Moza’s marketing team, if Spud has been given a pre-release version, then maybe they’ve not had time to fully prepare guidance in multiple languages for users. It would seem to be very prudent of them to pull together guidance on how best to mount, hopefully include a vid walkthrough.

Depends. At the start of the invasion, Luftwaffe forces were basically negligible in north west France, with 2/3rds of their aircraft on home defence. In the days after the invasion, the Luftwaffe did push circa 1000 aircraft into north west France. However, the allies knew their were coming and where to, the Luftwaffe pilots were often poorly trained by that time and were short on fuel. So when the 1000 aircraft started arriving, they were still massively outnumbered, landed in bases not really well prepared or short on fuel and then were straffed on the ground. To add to the above, the loss rate by just accidents was circa 50%. IMO, the question about MW50 is almost irrelevant, if you’re thinking about vaguely accurate depiction of the time. Vaguely accurate probably means a decent chance of being straffed on take off and landing, and in your flight, walking into 25 Spitfires.

Have to say that he’s tried to mount it in a very odd manner. i would have thought it obvious to mount it really low and then add an extension.

If you don’t find a Squad, drop me a line. I’m in the UK and would love to find a wingman

Can anyone confirm if the FM and capabilities are basically the same?

Awesome! The Viggen was my first DCS jet and I still love flying it

It’s still missing somethings. Having said that, I can’t help but enjoy flying it

And shipping suggested for the end of Aug, ie two months from now. Exciting times

I have both Virpil and Monstertech mounts attached to my aluminium frame. The Monstertech are IMO more solid, though being fair, use the Virpil to hold my centre mounted base and it works well and with no apparent flex

We know the Starfighter is in development. The obvious next Spanish jet would be the Mirage 3.

That’s partly going to depend on the seat you use and how high that is. I believe that Virpil, WW and VKB sell 20cm extensions, but that is clearly not long enough to reach from the floor for most chairs. The only others that I vaguely remember are full on systems for helicopters and similar, which are a lot more expansive. Another point for consideration is the available deflection on the base you use. Virpil doesn’t recommend the use of their Warbird base with an extension partly because it’s available deflection with a long extension is potentially so wide that the grip would hit your legs.

Mark, might be worth updating the firmware in your collective. Mine wasn’t upgraded when I got it.

I see that we also have WW and Virpil looking to join the party. Excellent!
