  1. Do these actually exist? I am looking for a not too expensive gamepad of PS4 or XBox configuration that doesn't rely on $0.50 potmeters under the thumbsticks.
  2. I've just received 3 27" 1920*1080 monitors and would like to know how to position them properly. They are AOC AG272FCX models, which feature a 1800mm radius curved screen. Should the monitors be lined up in one "curved plane" or the outer ones angled inwards by how many default degrees? What is the default viewing/camera angle? Can one change the angle and projection? Should I use 1 camera or 3 camera to minimize distortion? Also, how to mount them? I've looked into 3 screen desk stands, like Newstar PFMA-D700D3, but these seem for inline setup, which probably is unsuitable for curved screens. Ideally, they should be on a high stand to be right above the Helios touch screen, approximately at eye level. If I add two more, in L-L-L L-_-L ( _ is the Helios display) configuration, what would that bring? I'd like to glance down at the ground a little while in forwards vision ... The whole array is powered by nVidia 1080 graphics cards with the double SLI bridge. nVidia surround is set up, but all the 3 displays + 1 accessory need to be hooked up to the upper card. The setup as explained here https://www.geforce.com/hardware/technology/surround/system-requirements doesn't work. I can set it up, but it won't survive a reboot. It says 2D Surround-SLI is enabled, but how can I make sure PS: I've found the 40" screen unsatisfactory, not due to its size, but to its 19:10 aspect ratio which offered too little peripheral vision. Also, the DP 1.2 didn't allow it to be driven at 60 Hz. Thanks.
  3. Is there a native mobile version of this board without Tapatalk?
  4. F117 is de-classified? It would be an interesting option given its service record. Otherwise spyplanes like U2 or SR71 are boring high altitude flights. No combat action. Bombers probably also. Perhaps the interesting ones are old fashioned dive bombers like Stuka, for it has to get close to its targets and would be a challenge to fly and achieve hits.
  5. I have just copied the Caucasus map into 2.0.1. However, the A10C training Takeoff and Basic Handling has the aircraft facing the wrong way on the strip. Could there be a longitude bug? I'd like to trim down the number of installs, currently 1.2.6, 1.5.2, 1.5.3 beta and 2.0.1 alpha
  6. Here is how it looks now in my very temporary DCS setup. I ordered the 100mm British extension, as it has a 36 mm stainless tube. https://sites.google.com/site/warthogextension/buy The car part fitted right over the tube and the base. Only a tie wrap is needed to keep it securely in place. It doesn't hinder the movement of the joystick at all.
  7. Here is the kind of car part I am looking for to cover the ball joint of the joystick: http://www.mister-auto.nl/fl/aandrijfas-beschermhoes-met-accessoires/skf-vkjp-3265_g90271_a050VKJP!3265.html The top opening of this particular one is 33 mm, the bottom opening 110 mm. The height is 93mm The top opening can be enlarged easily by cutting the rubber. The bottom can be strapped round the base using a tie strap. I suppose other parts have different sizes, you just need to find the right one that exactly fits the joystick.
  8. What about a telescoping extension that can be height adjusted? Has this ever been considered? I've gotten myself some Gardena M36/2 fittings and will construct a PVC extension first to try and experiment, before I order a metal one.
  9. Молодец! That's a well flown rig I suppose. I'll better discuss home cockpit building in the appropriate threads elsewhere. Do you have problems with dirt getting in the ball joint fouling up the stick's movement and return to centre? That's why I am a little concerned with mounting the stick's base low between your legs where it might get soiled with crumbs, coffee, etc.
  10. What seat is that in the pictures? Did it have the indent in the seat cushion? Will you still crack your nuts with the stick often? I intend to order a stick extension also, since I too would like to mount the joystick on a pedestal of sorts, or perhaps a subwoofer box. Do you still use the original mounting plate? Are there conical folded rubber grommets of sorts to cover the ball joint? I have looked into these, but haven't been able to find them new on the 'Net I am thinking of scavenging a used car junk yard, for these parts are common in cars. However, you'll probably end up with a smelly, greasy piece ... Otherwise flexible plastic funnels might provide a substitute or one has to sew a canvas cover himself. PS: there might be a small commercial opportunity to manufacture and sell these covers ....
  11. New bee question: the gadrocksworkshop.com is still down or down again. I have the Helios package downloaded from the .dk shadow site. Does somebody have the Loz SM v2.1 rar file available and is willing to share it? I am new to DCS and would like to try a multi monitor setup in view mode first before spending the money on a secondary touch screen. Edited: the site came up later today and I was able to download the files.
