Before you buy the TMWH you might want to read these..... http://www.overclock.net/t/1468856/hotas-warthog-disappointing-experience https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=60291 I was going to get it, but after extensive research I saw the nightmare I was walking into.

Thanks.

As much as i LOVE DCS, this dark HUD is a real problem! I find myself flying the F-5 E less and less due the visibility problem it creates in such a crucial place. As if spotting targets wasnt hard enough ;) Anyone found any workarounds?

I will be just sticking with my CH Fighterstick. I get great performance and crap load of buttons. So glad I did my research and avoided buying the TM Warthog.

What system did you get?

CH Fighterstick / Throttle / and Pedals used plug and play. No issues. Use calibration software in frequently when needed. Was going to get the Warthog until I saw how many issues it had. What a POS. Love the performance, durability and design of the CH products.

Thanks. I figured that might be the case, but since I never assume anything I though it wise to post this bug report

F5-E HUD not transpatent. Spotting undoable Bug Report - On the most recent version of 1.5. the HUD of the F-5E is not transparent . Its a light black tint that makes it very hard to see thru . Spotting is impossible. Spoke to other folks that experienced the same problem.

In all my years of using CH HOTAS, Ive never once had the need to use the CH Manager. I do use the CH calibration software very infrequently.

I have used the CH Fighterstick / Pro Throttle / Pedals for the last several years with Elite Dangerous and DCS in VR and have had no issues whatsoever (Im on Win 10). They have proved to be very accurate and reliable and well made ( unlike the TM Warthog HOTAS with its rampant sticktion & inferior internal components issues). I never use the Control Manager but use the CH Calibration Utility when needed (not often). Personally, after reading so many postings from unhappy TM Warthog owners, I would stay the hell away from TM. FYI CH also builds joysticks for industrial and professional use. They know what they are doing and it is reflected in the performance and quality of their products.

I can read the dials very well in the F-5E using zoom and 1.5pd as well.

I live in Vegas as well. and I got mine in about 7 days. Of course I ordered the more expensive Express shipping so that might make a difference.

With all the problems folks have had with the TM Warthog (sticktion / defective buttons) I dont know why any intelligent person would even consider buying their crap. No need to get defensive about this, just Google it and you will see thousands of folks complaining about and trying to fix the terrible design of this joystick. You have to be nuts to support a company that charged so much for such a badly manufactured and designed item.

As it turns out after lots of troubleshooting the audio crackles were a problem with Rift audio. The Jetseat was not responsible for the problem.

Just tried this approach. NICE! Way better then messing with Tacan......

Ive seen some folks using Tacan to find a radial and use it as a reference to their waypoint goal. See fifth post down. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=175448

How to follow waypoints in F-5E?

Since I am using CH Pro Throttle, there is no detente for idle. So I assigned a button on the grip to Left Engine Idle and another button to Right Engine Idle. When starting up engines with air I use those buttons to set engine idle. Throttle was calibrated before session .

Thanks! Here is a track of me adding chocks, doing F-5E startup sequence and asking chocks to be removed with "Unable to comply" the response of the ground crew. Requested file is attached. Chocks.miz.trk

This bug is on most recent version of 1.5 and F-5E. I have been troubleshooting this issue for a week. The crew will place the wheel chocks. Then after I go thru entire start up procedure they say "unable to comply" when I request they remove wheel chocks. There are no lights on the warning panel and the canopy is down (or up). I can see the chocks are in place and can do nothing to remove them. If I do start up without the chocks then jet starts moving after engine startup if I dont continuously hold down the footbrakes which hurts and is a PITA. HELP! :)

I recently bought a Jetseat from Andre. I am using it with a brand new Origin Chronos designed for VR. It does a GREAT job running DCS on the Rift. But whenever I activate the Jetseat thru the appropriate Simshaker software, I get crackles and pops in the audio. I have troubleshot this for the last week by trying the Jetseat in both USB 2 and 3 ports on the computer. No change. If I unplug the Jetseat and reboot the computer, everything is fine. Im not sure if its the Jetseat or the Rift or DCS, but I have stopped using the Jetseat, unfortunately, since the audio is unusable while flying. HELP!
