Keep looking at these, as I do enjoy flying with my DK2, however still not convinced the resolution will be good enough. Trying to find somewhere where I can tesT both the Rift and Vive so I can make an informed decision. No idea how they expect these to take off in mainstream if you can't try them first. Really don't want to sp no 6 -700 on something if it's not gonna provide the experience I'm looking for. Cowboy10uk

Always purchased my track IR from Bob and Carol at RCsimulations. Very friendly people who do anything to help. Hell they even once went back through their records when I lost the serial number to my track IR three, highly recommended Cowboy10uk

Tried it but didn't really get on with it installed on the chair. So picked up a wheel stand pro with the Warthog centre pole. Works a treat. Stick still sat between my legs as it should be, yet full freedom when getting in and out of the chair. Cowboy10uk

Cheers mate, gonna be popping to the shop on Tuesday in that case then. :) Cowboy10uk

Cheers guys, will have a look for those lacking casters. Still researching chairs at the mo, as I'm not convinced the one I like above will be big enough for my jetseat. Cowboy10uk

Thanks for the offer mate, but fingers crossed you won't have to do that. If all else fails I'm tempted to drive to the shop which is an HR away and see if they would let me attach the jetseat to it to test. Just thinking the side parts will twist the motors around to the side of your body, not too sure if it would work like that. I have found a bigger chair, but sadly bigger chair = bigger price, so it adds another £100 on top of an already expensive seat. Cowboy10uk

Hi Andrey, sorry to bother you currently using the 908 which I love, but sadly time has come to upgrade my chair. I'm leaning towards the Vertagear SL5000, http://vertagear.com/product/sl5000/ but obviously I was wondering if the 908 would be compatible as since it's a racing seat the sides curve in. Do you know if I can mould the 908 to fit a racing seat or am I better off looking for a standard office chair. These things are quite expensive so would hate to get one that wouldn't fit the jetseat as that's a must have. Cowboy10uk

Hi guys, appreciate it's not strictly Hardware, but it is technically part of my upgrade. Anyway I'm looking at a new gaming chair as my current one although very very comfy is over 15 years old and has some rather big holes worn away in the arm rests and it's starting to go in the body so time to be replaced. I'm leaning towards the Vertigear SL5000, http://vertagear.com/product/sl5000/ which appears to have a nice black look to it and seems to have good reviews. However the issue I'm finding, not just with this seat but pretty much every seat that's out there unless it comes with a frame is that they all are on wheels. Now as I'm sure pretty much everyone here has had experience with, wheels are a pain in the backside when it comes to using rudder pedals. Press the pedals in one direction and the bloody chair goes off in the other. I was wondering how are the rest of you guys solving this problem, it's it worth swapping out the wheels for gliders, or get some sort of carpet to put down under the chair? The room is laminate so their is no current resistance. If anyone has any ideas, or even chair recommendations it would be appreciated. Budget for the chair is about £250 - £300 Cowboy10uk

Well can't talk for others, only for myself and my Sqn mates, but NONE of us have had the release version installed for years. Only ever use the open Beta or Alpha version depending on where we fly. Personally I find the Beta version as stable as the release version just with the added bonus of getting the modules earlier. Cowboy10uk

Damn this sounds cool, pretty sure I've got some old ogg files about from when the KA50 used to pick up radio. Cowboy10uk

Ahhh you sods, you just cost me money. ;) Thanks for the recommendations guys can't get enough of books like this. :thumbup: Cowboy10uk

Sadly deep down I know that, I'm just hoping this may be different. ;) Bloody shift work getting in the way of my flying again. :) Cowboy10uk

Thanks LN, looking forward to it, personally I can't see what the surprise was. EVERY module has been released to the Beta version first, so it was pretty obvious it would happen with the Viggen. Hell to be fair the Beta version is that good and stable anyway it's the only version I have installed apart from 2.0 of course. Cowboy10uk

God I hope she's released first thing in the morning, on later tomorrow so won't be able to fly until Monday otherwise. :( Cowboy10uk

yep hot refuelling is certainly a common practice, I can tell you its a thrill doing a hot refuel on a HOVERING Chinook, and just a tad windy. ;) god I miss that job. Cowboy10uk

Well looks like I lied, I couldn't resist after all. Don't tell the wife. ;) Cowboy10uk

Cheers BigNewy, will test that tonight. Fingers crossed it will work. Cowboy10uk

Looked on there, only have info about autopilot, nothing whatsoever about the AI gunners Cowboy10uk

Hi guys I'm trying to get the gunners AI menu to show, I'm pressing L win - H as per controls but nothing comes up. Anyone know where abouts in the files I can find the AI menu lua, and what are the default locations that it should be showing. Have a sneaking feeling I may have attempted to move it a few years ago, but forgot how I did it. :doh: Rather annoying not being able to tell how your gunners are set up Cowboy10uk

Hi guys, I know she's not out for another few days yet, but can I say congrats, every single video I see of the Viggen looks like you guys have hit a home run with this aircraft. She looks amazing and I'm sure will be fantastic fun to fly, I honestly can't wait. However I will apologise as I'm afraid she will also be the very first aircraft that I won't be able to purchase in pre order, as it's been a few tough months recently. :( However once I'm back on my feet, I can assure you that she will be the first purchase I make. Once again congrats and thankyou for bringing this aircraft to our hangars, she's gonna be an amazing addition. Cowboy10uk

Hoping this gets uploaded to YouTube, tried watching and it completely lagged out for me, was buffering every 2 secs or so. Sadly made it unwatchable Cowboy10uk

Yes but DIY isn't. ;) Wife won't even allow me to make flat pack furniture. ;) Cowboy10uk

I've thought about it, but it would mean reduced resolution obviously. Can't really comment until I've seen DCS running on one. I know when I've read about them before here, it seems to be a 50/50 split whether or not they are worth the reduced Rez. Certainly with the monitors I'm looking at the bezels are pretty much none existent. Cowboy10uk

Just wanted to say thankyou once again. I used mission 2 of this campaign to test my Rift yesterday as I had heard there had been some improvements to the way DCS runs on it. WOW, what can I say, mind blowing, just mind blowing. I felt like I was truely there doing the medivac. Thankyou for making this, I can't wait to do the entire campaign in VR. The absolute perfect campaign for VR. Cowboy10uk

Hi guys, I'm toying with finally upgrading my current triple monitor setup, like an idiot I purchased monitors without VESA mounts, so currently using the monitors built in single stands and they are raised on several VHS video boxes. While it's a cheap and dirty solution it kinda works, but sadly means I have a number of very large Beazles in the way and despite being all the same model, each stand fits slightly different which means it's impossible to line the screens up. Anyway I'm looking at replacing the current monitors with 3 x Ultrasharp U2414H's and with the vast amount of monitor stands out there, wondering if there are any you guys would specifically recommend. Want to pretty much make this my last monitor upgrade for a good while due to the cost involved. Monitors will be desk mounted on a corner desk. ( wife has the other half. ) Any recommendations? Current setup, you can see the vid boxes in the background. Cowboy10uk
