  1. Update Since the guy who won the auction never paid, I've put them up at eBay again. The warranty is valid until the end of July. https://www.ebay.at/itm/273773884810...84.m1555.l2649

  3. 1. Since they are more than a year old they aren't current ;) 2. That's apparently incorrect.
  4. No. The black box is not part of the pedals. They are connected via the original tiny box. http://vkb-sim.pro/project/tiny-box/ https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2604907&postcount=2
  5. Because I have unfortunately finally given up on DCS. I've lost hope that ED will fix even important basic bugs on e.g. the F-5 and that they will further develop their rather new 'professional' Yak-52.:(
  6. ooops, initially posted at the wrong forum. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=234045 https://www.ebay.at/itm/273744465621?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649
  7. FYI. I've started an eBay auction (90€) for my VKBsim T-RUDDER MKIV rudder pedals. Simple the best and most precise pedals I've ever owned. https://www.ebay.at/itm/273744465621?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649
  8. I'm flying airliners IRL and with their ultra low performance and no aerobatics they are simply super boring to fly. No, I never load any weapons on my planes. Hang all available external tanks onto the F-5 full and try to take off on a hot summer day without AB in DCS. That's worse than flying a heavy airliner (and a nice airplane handling training) Fighters always represent the maximum possible concerning performance handling and aerodynamics in airplane design. That's what makes flying them such an interesting experience. If you haven't seen e.g. an F/A-18 (with the updated software) IRL at an airshow, you have missed some very impressive flying! Btw, many decades ago I did enjoy flying fighters IRL very much, without any killing/destroying ;)
  9. Where did I write that? Did you even read my initial reply? Apparently I post because I'm still hoping and hence I'm checking the forum every few weeks. @norbot, if you would have read my previous posts you would know that I'm only interested in the flying part of DCS, not the destroying and killing part. So there are nice and realistic alternatives of course.
  10. Another option is to simply uninstall DCS and to use another sim like I did, to avoid any further frustration with EDs update 'policy'. ;)
  11. Interesting. How can you avoid to takeoff and land without the ground effect?
  12. The Yak isn't moving as fast as any of us like? Did it move at all? Btw, I should have been more clear since I'm only interested in the FLYING part in DCS. I'm talking exclusively about basic FM bugs/problems. e.g. Flaps & rpm/mp problem in the Yak 52. The tailwind/headwind bug & the tumbling AH in the F-5. The pitch down/suck down effect in ground effect in the F/A-18.
  13. I've uninstalled DCS many month ago due to the still remaining basic bugs with the F-5, the F/A-18 and the Yak-52. Wanted to re-install it when there are at least a few improvements concerning the above mentioned planes Absolutely nothing has happened in many month except that ED is constantly making announcements about new add-ons. Considering how simple the Yak it's unfortunately an eye-opener of how little ED cares about existing customers. Presently I'm not even considering re-installing DCS once they release their, for sure unfinished, F-16. Instead I did rewrite the flight model for the P3D F-16 and I'm quite happy with it. Too bad as Flanker and DCS always were my top flight sims!
  14. +1 The F-5 used to be my favorite module and the lack of updates (don't forget the tumbling artificial horizon) isn't exactly promising. Same goes for the rather basic Yak-52 module.
  15. +1 I'm really surprised that although this is a comparatively simple module, that there are zero updates. We still have to deal with e.g. the super high drag flaps and the wrong prop/MP relationship :(
  16. There must be something seriously wrong with your install since drag with the extended flaps is way too high presently. Even with full throttle you can just barely accelerate to the go speed in level flight, let alone climb and perform the go around as described in the various manuals.
  17. Why? google is your friend ;)
  18. Back in 1988? Seriously?
  19. R U sure that you know what you are talking about? http://www.migflug.com/jetflights/the-incredible-pugachevs-cobra-maneuvre.html
  20. This doesn't match mvsgas' observation at all and he's using the same build….weird.
  21. And? Speedbrakes are only effective at high speed. You are comparing apples and oranges since ailerons only need to create a roll moment. Btw, a few inches of aileron deflection don't cause a noticeable amount of drag. Not even full deflection causes a strong increase in drag.
  22. Not sure if it's not the other way round, because the Airbus does compensate for configuration changes and additionally you don't have trim when doing thrust/speed changes, but AFAIR on the 777 you have to trim when speed increases/decreases. The point I'm trying to make is that FBW doesn't change the way you fly a medium/heavy jet. If you are trimming or autotrim etc. does the work, it doesn't make much difference. In fact I found the A320 more difficult to fly on e.g. the ILS than the 767 because you don't feel any speed and/or vertical speed changes since the attitude is basically remaining constant. Don't agree on the last point. Especially on the ILS where usually only small thrust changes are required the pitching moment is usually negligible.
  23. I strongly believe think that the 'method I' and 'method II' description is an outdated, misleading and incomplete explanation, as you basically confirmed in your last sentence. A FBW airliner doesn't 'compensate' for anything regarding normal flying and there shouldn't be any difference concerning pitch/power handling if you follow e.g. a 3deg GS in a tiny ERJ170 or an A380.
  24. I don't understand the first sentence and what FBW has to do with it. You e.g. fly an A340 and a 747 the same way. And what 'basic rule' are you talking about?
