Ravens, getting ready to place an order inspired by all your helpful postings. Any thoughts on your system now that you had it a while? Updated Pros / Cons? I was planning to get the DOF REALITY P2 since I fly 6 hours a day / every day (retired). Is there less issues / slop with the bigger motors. Also love the chair you selected. Thinking of getting something similar... https://www.amazon.com/ProCar-Scat-80-1606-61R-SPORTSMAN-Velour/dp/B002L1EQOW

Does anyone know if most DCS MP servers O/P Telemetry that can be used by Next Level Motion systems? http://www.ricmotech.com/Next_Level_Racing_Motion_Platform_p/nlr-gtump3.htm

TGP.

Thanks Andre. Will do.

Andre, I purchased the Jetseat in May 2017 and used it about 10 times due to my schedule. Today I noticed that motors 1 and 1 (under my left thigh) are not working but the rest are. What options do I have to get them working again? Given the time Ive owned it and limited use its gotten, this is kind of upsetting. :( PS I tried it with both DCS 1.5 and NTTR with the A10C which is the only jet I fly these days.

Has anyone successfully used a NEXT LEVEL MOTION PLATFORM V3 http://www.nextlevelracing.com/products/next-level-racing-motion-platform-v3/ with a Airforce Playseat? https://plus.google.com/photos/photo/102385542845985326590/6486899001952471042?icm=false&iso=true&authkey=CJbG25PFkeGn0AE I know there is an adapter assembly needed to mount the chair on the motion platform. Flying this in VR would be awesome!

Thanks! I will give it a shot. :thumbup:

I am definitely interested in your all Hawg squad. I have spent everyday for the last month (4 hours a day) learning all I can about its systems and operation. As a video editor ( https://www.facebook.com/tom.daigon ) that retired early to enjoy life, DCS and VR take a major role in my day to day fun. My simming and gaming have been spent as an offline / single player. But I am curious about the online / group experience. As a relative noob I would look forward to joining a squad that was not adverse to training folks like me. After checking other groups out, I have decided I want to join a USA based group (for better pings) that is comprised of good hearted, intelligent folks.

I tried the same training exercise as before. As it turns out there was no wind and the slip ball was dead center on the ADI when the same screwy things happened in CCRP mode with the ASL drifting and twisting as I flew near the target. I will see if I find the CCIP CR mode is more to my taste. If not, no more dumb bombs for me ;)

And just using the DCS shift function is quick and easy as well! Heres my HOTAS binding template. https://plus.google.com/photos/photo/102385542845985326590/6486437263081733602?icm=false&iso=true&authkey=CNXCgYeVt4-VCg

Not true. I use shifted functions on 90% of my Fighterstick and Pro Throttle buttons. DCS allows me to assign a Shifted Function to one HOTAS key. That allows me to double my usage. While NOT using the CH Manager.

Excellent explanation. Thanks!:thumbup:

Good thought. While I dont like the trade off of having to dive close to ground, for the few times I may need to use unguided bombs, it maybe a viable solution.

LOL! while I really do appreciate your feedback .... this is your idea of simplifying things to laymen's terms? My solution is not to use "dumb" bombs anymore. Hows that for simple? :pilotfly:

Not when Im flying in VR ;)

Thanks! I will stick with 'red triangle method' when its feasible (so far all missions have had a datalink) and learn the other approach for when there is no datalink. :thumbup: (I ONLY fly in sim mode).

Ive been learning 2 ways to use the designated target info I get from JTAC. 1. On the TAD I hook the Red Triangle, make it SPI then slave all to SPI. OR 2. Go to the CDU and spend quite a bit more time entering the coordinates then creating another waypoint. Then making that SPI and slaving all to SPI. Is one way more accurate then the other?

Bummer guys. Ive never seen or heard about this issue on my Win 10 machine. Maybe this is because Ive never needed to use CM for anything more then calibration. DCS recognizes my Figherstick, Pro Throttle and Pedals on boot up (and they all share a USB hub). I hope you are able to get a satisfying resolution soon.

As a noob I have to ask.....what is this coordination ball you are referring to? Is it the one under the ADI that indicates slip? Since I understand about half of your explanation, can you in more basic layman's terms tell me what causes this behavior and then tell me your solution ?

Appreciate your help but I am using the CCRP Mode NOT CCIP. And according to the manual CR (or Consent to Release) is ONLY available in CCIP. "Consent to Release (CR) (3/9 or 5 MIL) The two CR modes allow you to designate a target much as you would attack it with a CCIP Manual Release attack, and then pull up out of the attack with the target well below the HUD lower field of view. This can be a useful delivery when you want to reduce the time you are in an attack dive and it allows you to start your escape maneuver earlier. To use a CR mode, you will need to do the following: 1. From IFFCC Test menu, select the CCIP CONSENT OPT, press the DATA rocker on the UFC to select either 3/9 or 5MIL. By default, this will be set to OFF which provides Manual Release. When complete, place the IFFCC switch in the ON position. 2. When you are pitched down more than 3 degrees, a dashed PBIL and reticle will appear on the HUD. The reticle with central pipper will stay clamped to the bottom of the HUD. Maneuver the aircraft to place the pipper over the intended target and then press and HOLD the weapon release button." Ive decided not use use M82Air weapons since I prefer CCRP which demands accuracy in 5 mil with this bomb (which is the ONLY option)which Im not skilled enough to achieve at the moment. Fly safe. Moving on....

Sorry, I have no idea what you are referring to. In CCRP, 5 mil is the only option for the M82Air.

Good thought but there is no wind in the training mission.

I have a CCRP question. I am doing a A10C training mission using MK82Air in CCRP 5 mil mode. The SPI is set on target and I am able at first to keep the PBRL and ASL aligned to insure the 5 mil pipper passes right over the Solution Cue. But when I get very close to the target the PBL starts twisting and drifting so the release is aborted. I am flying straight and level throughout this process. 3/9 for guided bombs is no problem. But CCRP 5 mil is driving me batty? Any suggestions?

The calibration functions are necessary at times and work just fine on my system.

I have the CH Fighter Stick. I use the 4 way button on the side for the 4 Countermeasure controls. Then I use the ALT button I assigned on the Pro Throttle to activate the 4 AutoPilot functions on the same button. Works great. Id upload my A10C binding template but this site doesnt accommodate that function.
