I wouldn't throw any money at Combine Arms 2 considering the lack of any real development for CA in the last 3 years (in AI routines), id need to see some significant improvement to Ai routines, its use in VR for the CA weapon sights. As others have said here the whole ground war immersion needs to go up a lot of notches now the Apache has dropped as its by far the most popular helicopter and really is wasted on what DCS has as a ground war ATM.

Thanks Bailey, see my other post in here a couple hrs ago I'm asking for tips and suggestions, be very happy for you to share with me your tips

Coming from a Wathog I had a lot of conformity across my modules, I'm looking to do the same with the CM3, so I'm here for suggestions from long term users? . Mainly fly the F16, F18, FC2000, Hind, KA50, Gazelle, Apache, P47, Mossie, Spitfire. Across these modules id like to have all the same, (obviously some difference on the helis) flaps, gear, airbrakes, what do you use. Comms is sorted so im good there So far i have turned buttons T1, T2, T3, T4 in to up and down as separate buttons so I have more options on those T5, T6, T7 what are you using those for ?? The red button under the throttle ??, rear button on the throttle (in a slightly awkward place) The rotary on the LH side and the rotary on the RH side. Very open to suggestions Cheers

I just found out you cant do it, struggling what to use these keys for in DCS, i will ask the wider group for suggestions.

Can the CM3 throttle switch's T5, T6, T7 be setup to be a 3 way switch up/middle/down ??, just getting my head around the Virpil software and made the T3 & T4 as a 2 way up/down, wasn't sure about doing 3 way switched and if it was supported. Cheers

Ha ha me bad I read it as doesnt :)....sorry

Just some new ground AI routines would be nice instead of the turkey shoot that it is currently.

I will check with the current OB this weekend and test with the modules I have and repost back.

According to the Virpil web site the T50-CM2 base does support the Warthog stick if I choose to use it

Player only id say.

Its pretty rubbish's if I'm honest, I got one a few months as it sounded ok from reports I read here, tried it in VR in DCS and the experience was quite bad, about the coolest thing was being able to give the finger with a Nomex glove, save your money until its developed more for DCS is that ever happens.

Even a quick update so we can play from the front seat would be welcome instead of the pilots position, the back seats the boring bit in this bird in MP when your a single player without a human CPG :), all the funs in the front seat and with the sub par ground AI your not really too worried about how hi George would be flying you as the AI isn't really a threat in most MP coop missions.

I work in making manuals for lots of products to help people work out how to do stuff using a lot of pictures and graphics, to me the George menu is a little bit inconsistent and some change whilst we have chance would be great to see. First I would like to suggest a separate key for the short left which currently changes Georges mode to say RCtrl A or Q or something like that, ill explain why below Current in the FLT mode and H_B mode we have FLT mode Short FWD = Increase Airspeed Long FWD = Increase Altitude Short BAK = Decrease Airspeed Long Back + Decrease Altitude Now switch to H_B mode and these commands for altitude and airspeed are reversed. Short FWD = AGL Altitude +10ft Long FWD = Translate Forward Short BAK = AGL Altitude -10ft+ Long Back = Translate Backwards I would like to suggest the below change to the H-B mode to keep the press consistent with the key press, this way all short keys are used for speed and momentum and all long keys are used for altitude settings, this will aid with memory management in using these keys. Short FWD = Translate FWD Long FWD = AGL Altitude +10ft Short BAK = Translate Backwards Long Back = AGL Altitude -10ft The next suggest would be to take out the Short Right command to change mode, really the WASD should be left to give George a command and a separate key could be used to change the mode it would save mistakes being made. Now in FLT, H-B and CMBT mode we could have FLT mode Short L & R = Designate turn L and R (using the correct keys) H-B mode Short L & R = Designate turn L or R (using the correct keys) CMBT Mode Short L & R = Fly Dir Route The reason why I'm suggesting those ones is many a time I have been flying along and trying to turn left or looking left thinking I'm pressing the corresponding key only to realize I have put George in a different mode as I have hit short L The other option is to make the change mode to a long press (less easier to press) and put all the George command that current sit in the long press mode in the short press option. Cheers Hotdognz

You may have been in the wrong mode as each mode changes what George does and its easy to get into the wrong mode as it use short left to change it, you would need to be in FLT mode and long press up (W key) The way the interface for George works is the issue I think and a change would help out every one, if they had made the change so George mode was on a separate key to WASD and just kept the short/long presses for telling him what to do as far as going left and right and up and down it would stop us entering the wrong mode, many a time I have been in FLT mode and hit short L for designate turn when looking left as that is where I wanted to go buts its short R for going left or right in that mode, its a bit confusing and could be easily fixed.

Thanks that sounds easy then, so just a first time calibration in the Virpil software and then good to go, looking forward to seeing the difference vs my Warthog and it combined with my new PointCtrl

Hi guys I picked up the following from a friend who has given up flight Sims, all items are 3 months old. MongoosT-50CM2 Base - Constellation ALPHA-R stick MongoosT-50CM3 Throttle Currently I have the Tm Warthog being used without the TARGET software, everything's mapped for my modules and I have found it easy to use and I use a modifier to extend its use for more buttons, when I plug the Virpil gear in will I just be able to jump in to DCS and re-map my controls as I need like with the Warthog or do i have to jump through some hoops with the Virpil softwear. Cheers

Haven't tried in an Apache yet I normally just use a Gazelle L to sneak up and gun them...LOL

Its still broken after the last patch, we have tried many times to use this, some people can hear each other when in modules, others still cant but can see the transmit keys activating. We have set up everyone who cant hear on the same settings that others can hear each other on confirmed we can hear each other in SRS, nothing, its broken, we have gone back to SRS again. Will check next update

Which part the 0.0, -0.5 ?? Cheers

Hi has any one be able to move the controls indicator from its position to lower and right a bit, now the edit transparent indicators are coming out (I dont know why ED dont use these) it would be great to have it lower. Cheers

He needs to go back to flight school, he is very inconstant with height once its set, even at 500 I have had him come down to 100 or lower on a turn.

I have the same issue, I have found no fix yet

I'm not expecting it to change except the trim reset which will help, I have no trouble flying it or hovering it but to me it acts very strange in some flight aspects and can suddenly kill you by falling out of the sky> Still love having it, once MP dysnc is fixed and I can fly MP singularly from the front it will add another 50% more fun and feel like a good purchase.

Yep, I did a reboot and that seems too have sorted it out

I have followed the instructions to the letter and using 0.6 I keep getting this error, anyone have any ideas.
