Sold. :) Thanks, Flyby.

:megalol:... Glad I'm not the only one this has happened to. :joystick:

Got mine this past Friday. They look great and fit perfect! Thanks, Deadman. Took about 2 weeks to ship here to Canada, so I'd imagine Germany would be 3-4 weeks... I'm not speaking for Deadman though... Just my opinion. -Mack

hehe, yea I hear ya. 120 GB seems to be the happy-medium for price/performance with SSD's right now. I saw some Vertex 2 120 GB on sale at newegg recently for $180.00, but they sold out quickly. Once SSDs become more common the prices will plummet. It's only a matter of time. The 120 GB drives used to be well north of $400.00 but they can be had for $250 now. That said, it'll be some years before we see affordable 1 TB SSD's. :( -Mack

I agree with Ethereal, the prices on SSDs are still quite high. But just to give you an idea of the performance difference, here's a rather telling screen-shot of some benchmarking I did today. On the left, you see my 2 OCZ Agility 120 GB drives in RAID0. These are relatively old now and performance is even better on newer drives. In some cases double... On the right, is my WD WD10EARS, 1 TB mechanical data drive. The difference is rather staggering, although it's not really a fair fight since the SSDs are running in RAID 0. Still, it should give some of you an idea of how big of a performance difference there is. :) -Mack

Helios has a GUI/WYSIWYG Editor (What you see is what you get), so it's very easy to setup and configure your panels. I've never used Hawgtouch, so I'm not sure if it's as easy. The last time I saw it you had to set things up via xml files. That may have changed, however.

I believe what you're looking for is Helios or HawgTouch. Either one would give you the MFCD buttons, among anything else your heart desires for controls =D Edit: Sniped. :)

Hi Everyone, ALL ITEMS SOLD I have a bunch of items here up for sale and willing to negotiate within reason. ALL ITEMS SOLD -Mack

You sir, have amazing skills. You should work for CH or TM. =D

I would go pedals first, track-ir second... Love the name, btw... and the show. =D

Hope you manage through the flooding without any serious issues...

Finally ordered mine today. Great idea, Deadman. My warthog is looking forward to these cozy dust covers. :) -Mack

if you're still struggling to remove the virus/trojan, try these two apps: Malwarebytes (malwarebytes.org) Trojan remover (Made by simply super software) The combination of these two apps has saved many of my clients machines from a rebuild due to virus infection. Hope it helps, Mack

worth every penny, imo. :)

Thanks Flim, I actually went and found that on the SC Simulations forums, shortly after reading your post. I don't feel put out and hope my first post didn't come off that way. Glad I could contribute to this amazing project. :) -Mack

+1 for this. I was having some issues with RSI when I had my old CH gear sitting on my desk. I had no easy way to mount the hotas low and centre. But when I switched to the HOTAS Warthog, I simply placed the stick on my seat between my legs. One tip I'll offer for placing the stick like this, if you find the base plate digs into your legs, just take the 4 screws out of the bottom of the Warthog stick and rotate the plate 90 degrees so it's wider then it is long and put the screws back in. This did the trick for me. :)

It's free now? Wow, I just bought it a week or so ago... Oh well, it was worth it anyway...

Just note that if you have them extended when you try to fire the GAU-8, PAC1 won't engage. Retract your air brakes before firing the GAU-8. This, I learned the hard way....:doh:

I have 2 of these screens and have never had an issue with them. Have had both for over a year now. I suspect your issues are driver or OS related. It'd definitely be worth trying it on another computer if possible. -Mack

ah, sorry for the double-posting, mate...

Don't know if this has been posted yet, but figured some folks here would be interested... A very scary landing at Rouyn-Noranda, Que airport: Wonder what caused the front gear to malfunction. Major respect to the crew and pilot for getting her down safe and sound. -Mack

I wish I had an answer to this but I think that one is a bug. I'd love to be corrected though! :music_whistling:

Ground crew will respond if your canopy is still open and engines still off, as if within earshot.

Sounds good - I may try livening up my top display after-all. :thumbup:
