I can't really say, but sergios jetpad/jetseat was the first product i found and i bought mine like 10 years ago. There was nothing else execpt buttkicker or similar products with transducers and those where quite over my budget. I saw that the price increased but i paid for my first one around 200-250 with delivery. Only thing i really can say is that it's quite easy with the newer edition to swap out bad motors or replace broken cables. The shop is broken since the start of the war and the sanctions, but you can email him and ask about anything. He is a really nice guy and he does really quick support if something happens. I had like 3 complete sets but only one working connection cable at some point and wanted to order just a new cable, till sergio told me i should try to reflash the device and all 3 cables are working again.

There is a shop button to order a jetpad. I just said that the software for dcs is free and you need additional software for other sims. Edit: https://simshaker.com/hardware/jetpad/

https://simshaker.com/ software for DCS is free, but a couple other games need the wings or wheels software to function properly. But there are also a couple of other manufacturers out there. You can take a look into the hardware section of the forum for more information.

If you don't have one you should get a jetseat or equivalent of it. That's gonna leap you on another level of immersion. And i still enjoy VR with a much worse setup than you have. Still with minimum settings it's so much more enjoyable than a flight on the screen with more bells and whistles.

I am happy that you are still on your path, no matter how many rocks are in your way. I can send you an msffb2 stick, if you need one to implement ffb at a later stage. Just send me a msg, would be happy to contribute in some way.

Do you mean bergisons g-seat? https://bergisons.simpit.info/motion-integrated-g-seat I think he has also a thread somewhere on here, but haven't looked for it.

Really great concept for a campaign i love it. But when you mention the mission , where you have to bomb Saddams yacht. I can't stop thinking about this.

Maybe you have the new version with the arduino controller board. Mikhail switched to a new board for his latest collectives as far as i know. So probably the solutions i posted are for the older versions.

Hey Oriole! I had a similar problem with my collective and i was able to fix it through this thread. But i have one of the first versions of his collective.

With the active pedals it could be possible to program the software if you push one pedal forward the other could move into the opposite direction. And if you only have space for one simsetup and the money, it's gonna be a great solution to enjoy racing and flying on the same rig. Edit: I would shoot an email to the company who makes the pedals you are interested in and ask them directly.

Had a couple of miles leftover, paid only 36$. Can't complain.

If you go for a second setup and you have a bit of money to spend you should get a FFB stick. It can mimic any flightcontrols you want. If you look for a collective, there is user K51 who builds collectives. He got a own thread in the for sale section He also makes different heads now for his collective but you have to go through the thread since i bought mine in 21. But it's a really good product sofar and i only paid like 250€ with shipping.

You could backup everything that's "suspicious" to you, like folders and stuff you don't really know what they are for on an external drive. Delete everything suspicous and see if you can free up some space. If things start to fall apart you could use the backup from the external drive and put it back to onedrive. The whole user folder structure with saved games and documents and so on is going south the more stuff you install and uninstall. Because not every uninstall gets rid of all the files in the user folder.

I also can't fathom anyone needing a tourist guide when they go on vacation and it's still a very lucrative business. Also there is a big difference in how you learn for yourself through videos or being instructed by an experienced/professional person. I can take off and land almost every module i have, but i am quite sure i am not doing the proper landing procedures. Every new module i buy, i set up the controls go for a free flight and try to land it. Everybody has a different approach how they enjoy their install of DCS. I am going to read further instructions on how to setup weapons/navigation/... as i progress through campaigns or missions and i start to fail at some point. And the more i get into a module the more i learn and read about it. Till i am at the point where i know how to cold start it. But why should i waste time on cold start procedures when i can hit autostart and get things going, its a game in the end and i can restart anytime. Whatever floats your boat, i have never done a checklist startup ever and i lost a couple of canopies on the runway.

This whole thing with veterans teaching beginners could work, if ED would implement an official service for it through their website and new players have an easy access to the service. Click on a link, fill out a form, wait for the response of an instructor to get your training lessons going. They could add a L39 without the weapon systems for free probably for exactly that purpose. The entry barrier is a completely different thing in my eyes, because it's still a lot of work to setup everything and if you don't have a lot of experience with setting up games and controls, everything is overwhelming.

From my experience it depends if the actual switch, like in your state the dispensers switch, is pressed all the time, or if there is just a little impulse, when you switch it in position. If the button is permanently pressed, it should return the correct state in the cockpit. At least that is my experience so far with DCS and my buttonbox.

You could use it as an axis to controll the target designator. But i would use the button to add another modifier and double my buttons on the stick, like alt, ctrl and shift ist used. Or you could use it as a zoom axis to zoom in and out. You will always return to your normal flying position, as long as you fly on a monitor and not in VR.

I believe it's somewheree at the device list in the meta quest software. I am not at home right now, but i believe it's there when you setup everything, you can also setup your playspace.

https://steelseries.com/gaming-headsets/arctis-nova-1?color=black Thats my recommendation if you look for something lightweight. It's quite a good budget headset and the soundquality is quite good. But i have to say i game with it most of the time. It's comfortable and you won't hear much from your surroundings. I can't talk about the mic quality since i haven't used it much since i got it. But in the games i used it, nobody complaint so far.

I don't know if i remember it right, but before the announcement of the apache, there were talks about the cobra. And i think someone said the are using the apache as a testbed for the george ai and it will be easier to impement it into the cobra. Instead of doing it the other way around. But i could be false i mean it's a couple of years ago since there were talks about a cobra.

Thank you for the lecture. I am not a native speaker so every explanation is welcome. Didn't even know that it's a religious word, cause i've never looked it up before reading this thread.

Conan does, because he knows what's best in life! Sorry i couldn't resist on that one.

I bought mine with the damper and it works like a charm. I can't say they feel sticky, but different to pure springs. It's a bit hard to explain, i still can make small adjustments in warbirds and helis. But it doesn't feel sticky like the TM 16000 pedals or throttle i owned. It feels different to a normal spring.

But the beast is clearly a floor mounting device. Mine is quite heavy and if you don't own a steel table i wouldn't recommend a table mount.

It's mostly immersion, so you can feel the plane and what's going on. For example if you pull g and you reach a certain point the stick can shake/vibrate so you get feedback that you are pulling to much g and loosing to much energy. When you trim your aircraft or helicopter the stick stays on its position like in the virtual aircraft. So it's not centering in the middle like a spring stick. In warbirds your stick gets heavier the faster you go. And if you are a real pilot or know a real pilot, you can set up the stick so that it feels kinda the real aircraft. Precision depends more on an extension, because the longer your stick the bigger the action radius of the stick itself gets. Not every FFB stick will give you more precision, but if you are able to fit an extension on it, you are increasing your precision significantly.
