After I bought my TrackIR, I cannot fly without it... When I watch the Producer note's I catch myself turning my head!!

Most (game)websites are so over-the-top, with bold colours and advertising that practically shoves the product down your neck... I like the present design of this site; however...If there was a webpage (i.e.-the home page of DCS) that had the obnoxious advertising, perhaps a recent news/article column, FAQ column, and some Screenies (and vids of course) with the bold colours and expressive text, [take a look at the Call of Duty sites] this Sim could draw in more mainstream 'gamers', which would make more profit for ED, and would eventually benefit us all. The only drawback would be that aforementioned 'gamers' would spam the forums... Of course this webpage could be made by the community, and link to the forums-(with ED's approval)-and wouldn't waste any of ED's time or resources. I've been monitoring this community for some time now, and the community is very constructive and creative, and could be a valuable resourse....Just some of my observations... Oh and VVANKS, could you make me a sig?! CrazySunDog

Ditto here, Cat. I've had the X52 (vanilla edition :smilewink:) for about 9 mnths, and it feels great!! I did make a minor mod though: I didn't like the stiffness of the spring, so I twisted wire around the gimbal spring, cinching the coil into itself, and did this in two spots. Now the stick has little resistance, just enough to return to center. Also, I used a small amount of silicone spray to help reduce the friction of the plastic plate. :joystick: This weekend I'm going to pick up my Saitek Pedals, and hopefully start working on another little project: a box with about 12-16 buttons/switches for use with the schval, cannon, and Abris!

Hello all, 'been lurking here for most of the year, and must say i'm really impressed by both the Product, and the community that has gathered around it!! I've recently purchased X 52, TrackIR4, and will soon be in posession of saitek pedals and a new PC, with QuadCore 6600+geforce 8800GT. Like SunDown, I keep watching the videos in hopes of catching something new to learn--so much so that when my spouse needs something to help her sleep, she requests Producer's notes! Look forward to chatting with you folks as the release draws nearer... CrazySunDog

...or less relevant; depending on your point of view...

I guess its time to bust my cherry on these forums...long time lurker, first time poster... As for Over-G, I've probably put in over 300 hours playing that game, and have every achievement. This is the most realistic flight game on a console, but it doesn't reach simulation. However, the gauges and displays in the cockpit work on all a/c. When you are near an airport or carrier(yes there are carrier landings and in multiplayer you can land and takeoff two at a time.) your ILS will come on. When you switch from nav to missiles, your radar changes as well. I had a blast with this game, and just recently switched to the PC sims. Unfortunately, this game was not advertised at all, and although has been out for 2 years, not many picked it up, but those that did still play it religously.
