no, its the perfect tool for the average Bond villian to chase you around with.

So I am trying to streamline my flight setup and reduce some cable clutter with all the equipment I have amassed. My sim pit is separate from my computer, and I already have 2 monitors hooked up to my GPU - one HDMI and one DP, with another DP in reserve. Now I only have room for one up front controller for my pit; I have a TEDAC and an F-18 MIPS panel that I am trying to make swapping out as easily as possible. The cables attached to both of these are excessive in length, so Im already going to shorten these down to 1.5' The TEDAC requires another DisplayPort and 2x USB-A type plugs while the MIPS panel requires 7x USB-A only. I am looking for a docking station that can handle all these peripherals and knock my cable management mess down a few dozen feet and clean up a few things. I would certainly like a few opinions on what I can do and where I can go to find what I need; would also like to plug a monitor into the same docking station that the TEDAC is connected to without any conflicts in windows. My end goal is to just swap out the MIPS with the TEDAC as seamlessly and easily as possible, while utilizing my monitor and reduce cable loads under the table and clean up my pit significantly. I already have several USB hubs on hand, but Id like this to be better organized than that. Ideas are welcome! And for reference, I have the monstertech F-18 MIPS desktop mount.

its been corrected since. My skinner was able to redo the description on all my ships. thanks anyways...

coffee or hot cocoa...depends on what time I got home from work. might hit you up on that too if its as good as I think it will be...

you can copy/paste in the mission editor as well. Key commands are the same as in Windows: Ctrl C for copy, Ctrl V for pasting. It will paste everywhere your mouse pointer is located, and it copies all the aspects of the unit you just laid down - heading, type, aspects...havent tried this in a while either, but fairly certain you can copy more than one unit too with click and highlight. Doesnt just work for static objects either, does everything.

I found the solution - didnt know they recently added an off condition for a button, so the following would be the correct way to set up a 3 way toggle:

Ive a new handmade device that has a few 3 way hats that I cannot assign more than 2 keystrokes at a time for and need help getting the middle position to register as a button click. Ive tried searching the forum and quite literally everything popped up, so any help would be appreciated. This isnt a virpil, winwing or vkb stick as its custom made so Im fairly certain Im unable to use those apps to modify keystrokes.

and heres mine working fine! Thanks again.

got mine from alaindufour today and amazing work!

for those of you interested in seeing what problem Im encountering. Dont mind the talking in the background; I have a very pregnant beagle who puked on the floor right behind me while I was filming this, so yeah....also getting over a cold, so maybe turn the volume down if you dont want to hear it.

yeah ive been using that since you posted it. I have a ticket open with winwing, I have to make a video to show the problem...and its weird too. Im almost certain its a single monitor thats causing the issue.

Did that, didnt work. Still giving me that error. Ill review others posts shortly and see if I can get it working. --------------------------- There was an error! --------------------------- Use Ctrl + C to copy this error and e-mail it to s13solutions@gmail.com : System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null. Parameter name: path at System.IO.Directory.GetParent(String path) at KneeboardBuilder.Viewmodels.MainViewModel.BackupAircraftDefaultGroups(String _origPath) at KneeboardBuilder.Viewmodels.MainViewModel.LoadAircraftData() at KneeboardBuilder.Viewmodels.MainViewModel.Initilization() at KneeboardBuilder.Viewmodels.MainViewModel..ctor() at KneeboardBuilder.Views.MainView..ctor() --------------------------- OK --------------------------- This is the issue I am seeing. FYI, I have it installed in B:/DCS World Open Beta and not at the default location. Oddly, this thing asks me to update at the first run too; it will download a 0 bit winzip folder and call it quits immediately afterwards. I havent read the whole UP THERE just yet, but Im reading so bear with me. Edit: nope, different issue. No, I do not have any mods. I just uninstalled DCS and deleted everything DCS related on my game drives and saved games folders for an entirely new clean slate last week, and that is how it will remain for a while.

Found out that this uses OpenVR. DCS uses OpenXR, so the runtime would be different. Not really sure how to resolve that.

yeah Ill give that a shot and report back.

Yes I do...

are there any alternatives for this app? Ive used it for years, but tried using it for the first time in a while today and seems like its broken now.

Dead thread resurrected. Im trying to return my HF8 to NLR and I cant get anyone of them to reply back to my emails. Anyone else having issues? Ive had exactly one reply from an email and that was prior to the christmas holiday.

well that video answered my question...THANK GOD.

does that allow me to overlay my mips over DCS and I can align the two at the same time? also I guess this means I need to run steamvr in order to use it as well...

Id like to know if theres a way to overlay the outside world over the vr cockpit to get a 1:1 adjustment, but dont think it has anything to do with this thread. Ill have to research it for a while and see if its possible...

I was being sarcastic, my apologies. You dont normally see anything outside of your vr headset because of the obvious.

are any more missions planned for the future?

OK, I submitted a thread on their steam discussion and asked a similar question. Ill hopefully get a reply soon with some answers, but Im gonna have to figure out how to use this tool. Lot of info here that makes no sense to me.

Ill give it a look and report back, thanks. Edit: would you know a way to A) save my monitor positions indefinitely regardless of monitors being powered on, B) removing taskbars from the MIPS only, and C) prevent the mouse from traveling to the smaller monitors?

I assure you I dont. Just reinstalled from scratch DCS and solved 95% of my problems. Ive had nothing but problems with my computer not wanting to boot since I put these MFDs up, and yes Ive narrowed it right down to the actual monitor causing me problems (my left MFD). Id still like to see a way to turn these things off without the need to physically unplug these monitors. My monitors being relocated every single time I turn a monitor off in some random space...thats a Windows 11 issue, and to solve that I need to go to Windows 10 (and believe me, that sounds very tempting).
