For my franken force fx I used 1/2" copper tubing, 45 degree fittings and epoxy to avoid any bending or hot work. I slotted the copper tubing to match the keys on the gimbal stud on the base. Then I used hose clamps to secure it in place. This has proved secure, easily adjustable and quick to breakdown for transport.

where do I get support for my invalid serial number

where do I get support for my invalid serial number
opformaster posted a topic in Bugs and Problems
Ive had to reinstall my OS and DCS:BS. When I try to activate my copy of BS the activation program tells me that my serial number is invalid. I contacted Star-Force tech support and after verifying that I am running the most recent copy protection software they told me to contact the publisher because "Serial number management is fully up to them." I tried to send an email to support & webmaster @DigitalCombatsimulator.com but both got bounced back. Do I contact The Fighter Collection or Eagle Dynamics about this problem?? Ive searched on the forums for a resolution but all the post say that I should contact Star-Force which hasnt really worked out. :cry: -
Logitech Force 3D PRO x Black Shark
opformaster replied to Sokol1_br's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
Yeah i have a Logitech Wingman Force 3D in my franken force. I think all i did was disable the centering force. I did notice when i used the stick in its stock configuration it was way to jumpy and the twist rudder caused allot of control issues. But after the conversion to franken force with a 14" extension the logitech FFB has proven itself. In the end Logitech gets a bad rap on their sticks cause the gimbals, the pots are low quality and the twist rudder issue i mentioned. But their force feed back circuitry is on par with whats available and a good base for a FFB stick mod. Dont use the logitech pots, they are complete junk in comparison to CH pots. I followed the tutorial on the CH forums and it was very easy to follow. Im now working on rudder pedals using a logitech momo wheel. Ill have some pictures of that in the thread i started awhile ago about my franken force. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=36248 -
Now there is a man in need of a copy of DCS:Black shark. For the safety of his neighbors and himself.

you can take advantage of affinity trick you just have to do it manually every time you load a mission. we dont get the advantage of a script. -op4

Boeing Considers Re-Starting OV-10 Program
opformaster replied to MBot's topic in Military and Aviation
Cool my uncle flew one of those in Vietnam. When I visited him and his fam when I was a kid he let me try on his flight suit and helmet. I heard they had a bunch in Thailand as well. Apparently there is a night fighting version (yes I know its an Observation plane) with a 20mm cannon sounds like sweetness. I know they have a OV-10 for FSX but its just not the same when you dont have to dodge the AAA. -op4 -
What OS are you using? I have an EVGA 8800GTS 640, I use WinXP 32 with the latest nvidia drivers no problems unless I do allot of alt-tabbing w/ pauses to start other applications. -op4

1 month with SSD(Solid State Drive) - Great.
opformaster replied to 815TooCooL's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
I bought a G.skill 128gb SSD (not the TITAN) in january, Im not really happy with it so I RMA'd it and will be reselling the new one when it arrives. Basically it boils down to this -WinXP stutters and hangs (I did notice faster loadtimes but that doesnt mean squat if it hangs for a couple of minutes after loading WinXp really quickly) -G.skill marketed and sold it as a HDD replacement -G.skill provides no compatibility lists and poor customer support (they actually recommend you go to the OCZ forums) -It is a non-returnable item But Newegg did me a solid and let me RMA it after my 30 days were up. -Ive actually notice an improvement in frames since I went back to my Raptor. And before everyone jumps on me saying you have to align partitions, etc... I followed the guides on the OCZ forum to the T and had no luck:mad:. Im pretty sure that my older NF4 Mobo and the SSD are not 100% compatible. G.skill has been so useless Im glad I never patronized them before cause I sure as hell wont again. -op4 -
Yeah im sure it will catch on with the FPS crowd like wildfire like every other FPS specific controller released in the last 10 years..... :music_whistling:. -op4

yeah ive got no deadzone or special setting for my collective, I use a CH pro throttle. Early on I thought I had to adjust it becuse it did not seem to move smoothly, but I soon realized to use the collective brake when I adjust the collective and it removed any jumpiness. -op4

Isnt force feedback part of the whole DirectX package? The other thing that is peculiar is the fact that they have chosen a system that isnt 100% sealed and has a sump! Sounds very interesting though. -op4

TIP.. Improve frame rate by 100% - 200%
opformaster replied to delevero's topic in DCS: Ka-50 Black Shark
delevero, You mention your OS is vista, what else you got under the hood? Your in game graphics settings would help us evaluate the effectiveness of this program. I personally have noticed an improvement using the manual method of setting affinity in WinXP32 but it is a PITA to have to do every mission. The biggest improvement came with a simple OC to 2.8ghz on my cpu. -op4
