Thanks Meatshield this fixed all of my problems with the very sensitive 4 way (really is 8 way hat), coming from a Wathog my comms hat is now acting the same as it was on the Warthog whos hat is more defined in its operation.

And where would you disable it, I have looked right through the softwear and see no option to disable it, if you remove it it throws up an error. Cheers

Hi im finding the 5 way hat on the side of the CM3 very problematic, id like to disable the center press Button 16 (Physical 17) and turn the hat into a normal 4 way hat, is this possible I cant find any way to do it. Cheers

Its a wasted map, I wish ED had put the resources into something else as I dont see the point of releasing something that runs as bad as this does in VR compared to the likes of Syria, and not even bother to fix it, or if they are its not showing up as any better with new beta patches.

Thanks

Does any one know if the license can be taken of one computer and put on a new one, we are upgrading our server to a new box. Cheers

T5, 6, 7 already do up and down with the middle not registered as anything my understanding was the middle part could not be mapped.

Hi all I am trying to map some 3 way switches in the F16 (autopilot modes) and cant really work out the best way to do this with the CM3 switches, I have set T1-T4 as 2 way switches already so have upped the use of them. I cant find anything on the CM3 that could be used of configured for the 3 way style of switch that the F16 uses, anyone able to make any suggestions. Cheers

Just returned from holiday Vipil CVM2 and 200mm extension and was really happy with the Apache, now it bobs about all over the place and is very unstable (no curves)

Thanks really appreciate you doing that for us,

I believe its been done by design for the Apache, the views are centered on the TEDAC which is the main focus of the front seat, I see the post is now flagged as investigating, I hope they can re adjust it to the center of the seat for VR and I can truly use VR as intended The other solution is to allow the Cockpit Save Angles binding to hard bind the view to where you set it in a .lua so its always there until changed if you need too, current the saved position resets to what we have now once you exit the plane or helicopter.

I can also confirm the default none VR view is centered on the TEDAC and off to the LS of the center of the cockpit, I can see why in 2D though as you cant move your head around as much unless you have Track IR, 2D players how ever have the ability to adjust the view and save it,

I tried this and it doesnt save the VR view, it reverts back to the default VR view each time you get a new Apache, I think this option is only for flatscreen mode.

@BIGNEWYwhen you are in your G2 sitting in the seat are you centered on the TEDAC screen, if you look down you will see you are not centered in the seat, I bet your L bum check is sitting on the LH side raised part :), id be surprised if its not. I believe that ED have centered our VR view on the TEDAC.

how do you turn head tracking off in VR, or do you mean alter the view in 2D and save and then come back in the VR view and it use the same saved position ??

No HP G2 VR the default position is off center to the LH side, you can of course alter it with the Cockpit Camera keys and then used Save camera angles but it needs to be done ever time you enter the bird. The VR view is centered on the TEDAC which is left of the center of the seat and does not site in the center of the Apache, the default VR is worng and needs moving, I use VR so I can move my head and im happy to move l to look at the TEDAC.

Has anyone else noticed the default Apache CPG view is left of center of his seat, it seems its been done to put the view in front of the TEDAC, I have played around with the view.lua but can only find up/down fwd/back adjustments I have moved the default Pilot and CPG view back a bit but would like to move it right more, FYI this is the lines in the lua if anyone can find the L & R adjustments that would be great.

Anyone else noticed that the CPG seat view in VR is centered to the L side and you are not sitting in the seat centered, I have also moved the view to center it and hit cockpit save angle which works but doesn't save the view for next time and I have to repeat the changes. I have added a picture of what I see in VR showing it off to the L Side. Is there any chance of getting the VR CPG view corrected to the center of the seat. Cheers

Hi Bailey can you explain some more sorry as im not following what you mean by saying you bind the buttons on the axis and include the thumbstick, also the % range has me confused too.

Fail point, the solution is as follows I didnt realize I had to add a grip to the base here, it was blank.

Its ok I found the solution over at the Virpil forums, and I didn't need to buy a Virpil grip

Thanks but thats no help and stupid answer....geez

Hi all I have just attached my Warthog stick to a CM 2 base and set it up in the Virpil software as [SR4021] Thustmaster grip / DIR SR 4201 All buttons test ok except for 23/24 which are set as encoders on the mode, this is on the 4 way castle hat the one below the trim. I have tried to set them as Normal and save but it always goes back to encoder, DCS is not recognizing these buttons at all. What am i doing wrong ??, how do i get them to be buttons 23/24 Cheers

Its a funny thing, I just got a Virpril CM3 last week, replaced my Warthog throttle (5 years no issues), today after 5 days of continued use I moved back to the Warthog throttle, why you ask, the Virpril was beautifully made the throttle motion was lovely, the indent system was very smart, but the button and hat positions sucked, they are all over the place, you have to move your hand around so much on the Virpil to access the hats and out of way buttons and rotaries it was just overload on the workload when flying, the Warthog whilst less buttons is so easy easy to access every thing especially by your thumb 1x5 was hat, brake switch, china hat and boat switch all within easy reach, on the Virpil I had the 5 wat hat with large rotary by my thumb and then had to move my hand back to reach the 2 other 5 way hats, plus single push button, I could reach the 2 other puch buttons on t hat side ok though. Plus I found I got really bad hand and wrist fatigue with the Virpil, something I never got on the Warthog, after flying a few hrs I had had enough and also walked away with tired hands, this never happened with the Warthog so im back with it.

Guys what Virpil CM3 indent are you using for the F16 and F18, i need to find one from the many available that would also suit flying the Apache, I dont want to use the finger lifts just a push through one. Cheers
