  1. The 480th Virtual Fighter Squadron opened its gates!

    We are the 480th vFS, an European Wild Weasel Squadron and part of JTF-1, a group that flys different airframes as real as it gets. If you are from Europe and you are looking for a realistic group to fly your F-16C with, and if you are a teamplayer that puts others before himself, that hates SAM's with a passion and thrives in a high threat environment, we are your pick.

     

    Requirements to join are the F-16C module, Persian Gulf and Nevada Maps. It is advisable but not mandatory, to have a good grasp on the basics of flying, startup, taxi and takeoff and landing, with a good grasp of formation flying. We'll teach you the rest. Age requirement is 21 years and up.

     

     

    Join our discord and drop by the 480th recruitment channel, say hi or ask for Vaper, the CO.

  2. No slack, it just broke suddenly.

     

     

    Yeah that I can replace, what's baffling me is what it's behavior is. I'll try and post a vídeo of what it's doing so I can get help in identifing what it's problem is and correct it. If I have to mod it I have zero problema with doing so just need help in finding how to mod it if this will extend it's lifetime.

     

    It's an amazing joystick that's why I asked for help, I still want to use it in the future.

  3. You need to open the joystick, to make sure which part has broken, and then contact Guillemot Support to see if they still have spares available.

     

    I've repaired mine twice, the last time was on late 2014 and the gymbal costed 15 euros plus 10 euros each potentiometer.

     

    Edit: This is a photo of the last time that a gymbal broke on my Cougar, the screws to open up the base are under its rubber foots, it isnt difficult to open up.

    Did yours also had that "slack" in the middle to one of the axis?

  4. Good evening all, as per title I own a DCS HOTAS Cougar which has given me numerous joy. But now it has a gimble problem (I assume) since it can't stay centered and the sensors sensitivity continue to "wobble" giving me negative input.

     

    Since I'm no tech adept I ask here is someone can help me repair this amazing hardware.

     

    Much obliged in advance to all!:joystick:

  5. Good morning all.

     

    My name is Pedro, I'm 39 years old Army Veteran from Portugal who finally decided to get serious and learn how to properly fly combat aircraft.

     

    I'm looking for a EU Squadron that has a newbie training program willing to teach from scratch. I own the following DCS products and I'm planning to purchase many more:

     

    - DCS Flamming Cliffs 3

    - DCS A-10C Warthog

     

    I also own TrackIR5.

     

    I bring the professionalism and dedication of a an Ex-Soldier but without the exaggerations, this is a game in the end.

     

    I'm fluent in English.
