I don't play football and I don't build or design joysticks. But I'm sure TM doesn't need 5 to 7 years to design a new joystick. It was marketing reasons why it took so long. Who would have bought the new F/A-18 stick, as long as there was no F/A-18 to fly in any serious current simulator? :huh:

I don't think TM needed 5 or 7 years to desigen the new F/A-18 grip. The reason why it lasted so long is quite simple. There was no F/A-18 module to fly within DCS. Now with the F/A-18 module (hopefully) coming to the end of early access status, it was the right time for TM to bring their new stick to the market. :smartass:

No problem with the Open Beta here. Have you tried a repair of DCS World Open Beta? Did you try remapping the controls?

https://vkbcontrollers.com/?product=vkb-t-rudders-mk-iv https://mfg.simundza.com/products Two products I would suggest.

So what's the problem with the F-18 replacement stick? I don't think you can blame the new stick for your old one breaking.

Air refueling requires a working radio and as much as I know, you need SDK access on that. That probably will be necessary, no matter if you are the fuel donor or receiver. :(

I'm using version 1903 with no problems since two months. But I had no problems with 1809 either.

It's a good thing you think he's serious...

I don't think Delta started counting his kits at 0001, so he probably has earned a litte less. Anyway, he had a great idea and he produces a good quality product. That's why I have no problem with him earning some money. :) I bought his force sensing kit (https://deltasimelectronics.com/products/force-sensor-uprade-kit) and I can say it's worth every cent. :thumbup:

I'm fascinated... :smilewink: And this is important for a flight simulator?

:doh::doh::doh:

@ Xilon_x: What's your intention behind posting those video links? Proving that female, male, black, white and what so ever coloured pilots exist? I think we'll all believe your point without those videos, too. We're rather talking about wether it makes sense to implement pilots of different colour and gender in DCS or not. On a pilot model wearing helmet, visor and oxygen-mask there isn't really much of a skin surface to be seen anyway, so I don't understand what all the excitement here is about... :huh:

Is flying with one engine off really more economic, than flying with the engine on idle? I would rather expect the drag of a shut down turbine being higher than one running on idle. What is your practical experience? :huh:

Could we have an official statement from ED about this problem? Seems like being a general problem of SFM aircraft, because not only the A-4E but also the MB-339 is affected.

Just tried it in the Persian Golf map with an A-10A. Started on the runway. Everything was normal.

Great news! Thanks for your work! :thumbup:

As much as I know, the buttons of the stick in the cockpit aren't clickable, if that's what you mean. Most of the time I fly the F/A-18 with the stick switched to invisible with the 'backspace' key.

I would suggest to reassign the functions for the Warthog buttons. Try this video from Wags, post #126: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=194412&page=13 Works fine with my TM Warthog stick and throttle.

I don't think ED has the manpower to fix every reported bug for every module during the next one or two updates. We've got bugs known for months and years, that are still not fixed.

:doh::doh::doh: One of the most urgent problems in DCS...

Same problem here. Detonating submunitions have no sound.

Just dropped two AGM-154A on some Silkworms in PP mode. The BLUs were released at the planned altitude of 900 ft an hit their target. I just couldn't hear any explosion sound, when the BLUs hit the ground and target. The camera was something like 300 ft away from the impact point of the BLUs.

I don't think it's hard to understand, but rather wishful thinking... :)

Well, not even the version we have now, is complete. How long do you think it will take, until DCS will offer an alternative version?

I hope there will never be a tail dragger version of the Yak in DCS. I simply hate their ground handling. It's the main reason why I almost stopped using the Spitfire and the Dora. :(
