    I have just moved from the warthog to a virpil throttle but on both, I mapped the Y to a press/release button on the throttle (press and hold) then click the Bits right DDI (4) with the right FCU PointCTRL before that I just clicked it with the mouse. I don't know how the real deal does it but I would imagine left across to the right-side panel (Y) and right hand to the DDI button. Just a thought.

    A German Beer Stein?:drink: If I'd have known you were that cheap a date.:megalol: For all the time you have put into developing PointCTRL, writing and rewriting software, being there for the community to answer their questions and help solve their problems this is a gift you deserve and I think I can happily say its not just from me but, in thought, from the whole community as I am sure they feel as I do with your persistence and ongoing dedication with your PointCTRL project. Thank you for your kind words re my help, I just chipped in, in the true community spirit that we have here. I am sure any member here would have started it sooner or later. I hope. No, the community hopes you have many happy immersive hours flying the F18 even though you are mostly a Helo guy. Please don't be upset with me as to me there is as much pleasure in giving as receiving and you Miles have given plenty to the community. Your friend on the other side of the pond,

    Yes agreed I think we need Miles son :worthy: to set Discord up for Miles that would be a good start and allow some discussion as you say instant chat. Edit ERR....yeh forget all that missed Miles post.

    Hi Miles, Sorry for taking so long to reply I was mulling it all over 1st to sort is picking a day and time people are available. Probably a weekend would be best for those interested to make it easier to join in considering time difference. Added a link to a site below to check and coordinate time. 2nd a server to join. there are quite a few public servers with targets to practice on, different maps to fly. We also have to take into account numbers the last thing we want to do is swamp somebodies server and crash it:music_whistling: might not go down to well. 3rd a way for us all to communicate Teamspeak, Discord, SRS. all involve setting them up and it would be good to have some advice from anyone using any of these or just to put me right, I like you, Miles, am from the old school. (Don't think we would look to cool with a telephone strapped to our ears:lol:) So anybody interested/advise/ideas in a bit of online flying and just to say high to Miles we know he likes Helo's so perhaps we could get him to jump in the Huey (or any other) and we all play follow the leader. Just a thought like I said ideas. If anyone wants to chip in please do. https://time.is/UTC FireCat.

    Hi, I had this problem and believe it was related to a mouse driver error see link below. After I uninstalled the driver that was showing for pointCTRL rebooted and plugged the HMS back in everything was fine. It's worth checking your drivers and to make sure PointCTRL is showing as "Windows-settings-Bluetooth & Other" as PointCTRLV.1 https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3975399&postcount=1361 just a thought as I said I had the same problem of not being able to install the firmware.

    Agreed, that's what I thought when watching. Although at the moment that startup is not yet in the ED F18C office:-)

    Sorted, good to hear. Now ot on a light note. I was wondering with ED's new Carrier will we as F18 pilots get to do this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yeij-YX9MdY :-) With PointCTRL. twisty fingers in the office. lols. just wanted to share the pros at it.

    I know you might think this sounds daft but what if you disconnect 1 of the monitors and go through the procedure to see the end result. It will at least start pointing at maybe a stacked monitor issue just a thought.

    Yes, I did and solved it thanks to Miles. So in the remote chance, anyone else has the problem or maybe something similar here is a possible solution depending on the circumstance. In "Windows-settings-Bluetooth & Other" I had a Pluralinput Mouse 1.0 Drive error showing this was also in Device Manager under "Mice and other pointing devices" How to resolve (well hopefully as it did for me.) 1/ Plugin the HMS. 2/ Now bottom right corner of your desktop click on the square [notifications] box then [All settings]-[Devices] under [Mouse, Keyboard & Pen] If you have Pluralinput Mouse 1.0 showing click on it to reveal Drive error. 2/ Open device manager [start]-[WindowsSystem]-[ControlPanel] click on Device Manager. In the window, you should now see the problem device in the drop-down under Mice and other pointing devices. 3/ Right-click on the problem driver and select uninstall. If a pop asks if you want to uninstall/remove the driver completely click yes. Note. If there is more than one instance of the problem driver showing (I had 3) unplug the HMS (this left 2)and carry out the procedure. Plug the HMS back in if the problem driver reappears right click and uninstall then reboot the computer. If all goes well on the reboot the HMS will now show in "Windows-settings-Bluetooth & Other" as PointCTRLV.1 On another note, PointCTRL puts DCS VR immersion on another level. I have spent the last 2 weeks in my headset enjoying every minute flying. It is now becoming so natural to point and click I could never go back to a mouse, it would quite simply destroy my emersion. Miles, you are a true hero you have breathed pure oxygen into my office and made me giddy with joy. Yes, its Christmas all over again. I spent a few days playing with the settings until I had it right for me. I first memorised the procedures and had a few dry runs looking at Miles great pdf's doing this made setting up a walk in the park. I found I had to keep my head very still looking straight out the hud as I went through the procedures to get the best results for me. I would suggest anyone waiting for their PointCTRL start walking your self through the procedures in advance, Miles kneeboard is great to use if you need to, but there is nothing like being prepared. Imagine you have the FCU's on, then point at the photo's in the pdf and go through pressing the buttons in your mind and what to do if XYZ happens. Know it off by heart it will go along way to making setup run smoothly for you. Big thanks to Miles and all the early testers what a great community we have.

    Thank you Miles. I had a great time with my Grandkids they really invigorate me. Make me feel young again.

    Did this as a PM but I thought right or wrong all should see what a great guy, a person, a man MilesD is. First part talking about grandkids. It's the best days of your life watching the kids grow up. Its why we are here and do what we do. I am sure you will both be grandparents in the future only it's not. You are parents all over again with the same worries as before. ONLY wiser. Also in the USA! it costs, Yes? Cost me my youngest is a timeout on her Masters. 1yr. Dr N.Smith cost me the equivalent of US $20K so far, but as a parent, I have done my job. I want to reiterate "STOP" my hands type faster than my brain. I wish to say again I really want to pay my way in life, as I always have. Also to give you, your due rights as a great developer of the awesome Complimentary VR hardware that is PointCTRL. (I put this about quite a lot under my pseudonym Rabid_Raven well given to me by my grandchildren G/Girls (12-13) G/sons (1-5-6) In other words. I do not wish to offend you and I am very worried about doing this. But I never did what I did to get something for free. Please, Miles, you have rewarded me by moving me up the list and outside the US. I will order if ok with you the cable and the Pimax adapter. Also the cost in full. I Hope I am not offending you, but it is the kind of person I am. I have not slept because I felt so guilty, I was away for a week I came back to watch the recurring Q's and try and point them to your last page and the links. Kind and sincere regards Terence. Tried to ring your home phone no luck said calls not allowed I would speak and thank you and explain in person far better from my time period but perhaps I am not there yet lols
