Cheers guys, I think he just finds the controls daunting and just wants to play "simple- aided game.(where the aids the player) I will have another look at game mode for him.

Hi, Yes I have but he wants to fly along side me in an A-10c2. Just wondering if there was a simplified mode he could use. I had a quick look at Game mode but still think it could be a little complicated for him. Cheers

Yup works fine with SSA only issue that it only uses 6 of the 8 motors as SSA wasn't made for it. HF8 have their own software that now works with the seat, only Issus with this is that you have very limited options in what you can address the 8 motors to. SSA offers way more options than the HF8 software.

Hi Guys, Just want to know if this is possible. A friend at work would like to try flying with me only issue is he cannot use a Hotas and cannot understand all the keyboard commands required when flying the A-10c. I said I will ask on the forum for him if it would be possible to fly using a Game Pad and Keyboard but in some form of Game mode a more simplified version of the game with a lot less input instructions from the Pilot. I had a quick look at Game Mode but it still seems simi complicated unless I set it up wrong as never used it before. Any recommendation to help out this chap out would be much appreciated? Cheers

From what I remember seeing all Plane related. Some will of the settings may work indirectly for Helicopters but hopefully as previously mentioned this is still Beta so it may still be added later on.

Apologies for the delay but my stupid Norton's is not allowing the full installation of the application. Even if I disable detections it still blocks part of the installation I will give it another try later some time. Now the HF8 options for DCS only came up once and I was able to have a quick peak but there seems to be only limited options in there I think around 6 not as much as SSA has. I have not been able to get the options in the HF8 to appear again this maybe due to the failed installation. Only other observation was that the motors seems to have a more powerful feel to them when you instigate the test option they feel more powerful than when using the SSA and of course you get access to the full 8 motors with HF8 than the 6 with SSA. Will feed back when i give it another try.

Not tried it yet. Hopefully a little later tonight.

Version HFS_Setup_1-1-4-3-beta brings support for DCS!!!!!

Sent you my DM details

Thanks for supplying the information much appreciated.

I have windows 11 and a HF8 using Simshaker works fine.

I use the same brand, I have 12 Port and a 7 Port. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Powered-RSHTECH-Aluminum-Extension-RSH-A10S-Black/dp/B09NPKSGH5/ref=pd_ci_mcx_mh_mcx_views_1?pd_rd_w=XGSqW&content-id=amzn1.sym.6aea875e-359f-49f3-864f-cff62d586b6a&pf_rd_p=6aea875e-359f-49f3-864f-cff62d586b6a&pf_rd_r=DQ0D6AW43Y48AXDXQ2S5&pd_rd_wg=jvAvx&pd_rd_r=b881a97b-ec65-44ef-bd97-19b3afbb75b2&pd_rd_i=B09NPKSGH5

Where did you come by this spurious tit bit of information from my good fellow?

Yup mine does the same when firing the gun.

Don't forget to set it to force Feel and all settings are default "50" so may or may not "feel" anything depending on what you fly so turn them up and work your way back from there for fine tunning.

$800 very very good price.

Good to hear enjoy bet you wont be able to fly without it now. It will be interesting to see if they actually develop their own software for DCS would be great to compare SSA with it.

Sounds about right

Not had any errors yet. Try another USB port maybe a USB 2.0 and not USB 3.0

Worked 1st time out of the box using SSA

Mine has arrived.

Mine is here but they did not deliver it I have to wait to Saturday now.

I did see your short "overview" on the HF8. Mine should be with me this week Woohoo"!

Yes I have read that people have been using SS without issues.
