I've been looking for a -34 for 25 years Iv'e never seen one.

Sadly, it's never going to Happen. Date on the article is 2010. When Collings tried to do an end run through Congress like they did with ther F-4, USAF blocked it with their own Congresscritters, then went on to permanently destroy EVERY Surviving Airframe and Engine, even those in Dayton, and at Eglin. They Saw-cut the tops off the main wing spars. Can't see it with the panels on, but they were one-piece Forgings that cannot be replicated today. They also spiked the High-pressure compressor sections of every Engine. Again, EXTERNALLY they look fine, but they'll never turn again. It's been an ongoing topic of discussion on the Facebook Thud pages, every few months someone brings it up, and the whole tale is told. I'll try to find my copy of the write up tomorrow, and post it.

Vietnam Mig-21 were very different variants than the Bis we fly in DCS, it was the older "Small Tail" (PF??) model,with some really weird stability issues because of how the fuel tanks were located

As Imp said... Shorter Bursts,

I eventually figured it out, had t put in a dead zone and curve to make the steering manageable, thanks for all the advice folks

I fly her every day Cobra.. BADLY, but I Fly her LOL

Yes that was a typo, bad able on they keyboard as i was typing

When I try to export my flight plan to a data cartridge i get the following message Export Failed: Access to the the path 'C:|Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Mods\Aircraft\AJS37\Cockpit\scripts\NavigationPanel\D evice\init.lua' is denied Any ideas how to fix???

Thanks, I'm completely new at this so I'll probably be pestering you with questions

Yoreh, I just bought the same radio head, can you give me an idea of what else I'm going to need in terms of hardware to do the same?

I made the decision I wss going to do it, waited till I got home from work to order, and found I missed the drop....I'm seriously kicking myself over it

Ok cool, I didn't realize that was you, I was planning to give your project serious consideration if I could find someone to do the printing for me

Same here,

For now, I'm using a Saitek/Logitech throttle quadrant with the Z Axis as Collective and the Y axis as Throttle...not the best solution, but with the number of switches and hats available on my Warthog Stick, it's workable. There's a 3D-Printed throttle available on Thingiverse ( https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2630031 ) that i'me in the process of having printed out until i have the funds for a set of Microheli.de Controls The biggest issue with the Saitek is that mounted on the Desk, the collective is essentially back wards..as i said not the best solution, but i can fly (Badly LOL) with it at least.

Pedals are Thrustmaster, I first went with the settings in Chuck's guide i juess ill just have to keep messing with them

I Must be doing something wrong in my Axis setups, I havent been able to get the Viggen off the ground yet, I'm constantly oversteering, both Taxiing, and in my takeoff roll, no matter how small my rudder inputs are, and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Sounds like you have your hands full Trip.. IMPRESSIVE Work Man... If you get the opportunity though could you tell us (Well, Me) a little about your original DIY Collective? Im in the process of working out how to build one now, and im looking for as many different ways of doing things as possible so I have some options. Thanks for your time, and this thread.

Yoreh, that is INCREDIBLE!! Really Superb Work. Question your Collective, did that start out as a commercially made item? or did you DIY that yourself. I'm in the process of figuring out how to make one for myself, with as many COTS parts as possible.

Hey Peter, I was wondering how you did the connection between your cyclic and th quadrant, a lot of the early photos aren't there any longer, I'm working on how to do the throttle and the top end (Huey only I'm not too interested in the shark) it's the connection to the saitek, that's stumping me. I got one cheap on ebay,, and in waiting for it to get here now. Thanks for the inspiration,

Howdy Big, I wonder if it would be possible to repost your pics for the Collective? They arent showing up any more, and i'm in the process of gathering my bits and pieces to try and assemble something, Thanks

I guess I screwed up then. I initially installed 1.5 for Steam, and couldnt get anything other than the initial page to open Trying to open ANy mission for either the Su-25T ot TF-51 would cause the program to kill itself. I then Downloaded 1.5 Non-Steam, had the same Issues, So I uninstalled everything and downloaded the 2 open beta, which of course didnt include any Terrain, I Bought Nevada, and couldnt run any missions (Same issues with the included aircraft), as a Last try I bought the Mig-21Bis Module, and it's been running great..occasional freezes, but that's on my computer's end, it's an older Laptop. Once the most recent update to 2.1 came out I can load both of the other aircraft in the quick flight area, but none of the training stuff. I tried to download 1.5 again, so i could have the Caucuses plus the training missions for the SU-25, but i coudn't do that on top of the 2.0. So, now Im womndering if I should Uninstall everything, and start with the 1.5, then download the 2.0 and update on top of that. Any Ideas???
