  1. I think this might be the solution. I noticed yesterday if I had the right throttle a bit looser than the left, it would push into the afterburner detent a tiny bit more than the left. This problem is not catastrophic or anything, but it can get a bit annoying in some aircraft. It can cause a very slight but noticeable roll to the left in the hornet at certain throttle settings, and while flying the A320 in MSFS, the autothrust detents don't always line up. Again, not a big deal, but just a matter of convenience. I'm curious - do the throttles axes line up perfectly for everyone else while using the sync lock?
  2. I had to remove & reinstall SimApp three times to get the vibrations working. I was playing with all the settings every time, so it's possible I only got the settings correct on the third try. As Zeufman mentioned, launch SimApp, then hit the cogwheel in the upper right next to the logout button. You want to make sure you have the correct version of DCS selected, with the correct folders set. Can't tell you which to select, since it'll depend on your setup. Here's mine, but I have DCS OpenBeta installed by itself on a separate drive:
  3. Yeah, ran through the calibration several times. I did more testing, and I think the issue I'm having is that the right throttle is a tiny bit more forward when they're synced together. Admittedly, I was quite excited when I assembled it all, so I'll take it apart later today to see if I may have missed something, or over/under-tightened a fastener.
  4. I'm not sure if anyone else has had to deal with this issue. I just received my Orion 2 throttle, finger lifts, and F15EX grips today. I noticed when I have the sync lock in place, the two throttles aren't at the same position. It's not a huge amount, but noticeable enough to cause issues with trying to maintain level flight in a few aircraft I've tested. I checked every fastener, and everything is tight with no play. I tried running through the calibration, but the issue seems to be more of a misalignment of the two throttles. I also noticed when I push both sticks to the AB detent, the right stick is a little further ahead than the left. Again, everything looks straight and kosher, but I think I may need to adjust something. I'm going to keep working on this, but has anyone had to deal with something similar? This is what I see when I have both throttles synced with the lock:
  5. Are you talking about this site? https://winwingsim.com/view/simapppro.html I'm not having any issues with it.
  6. It definitely takes a lot of practice though. I've probably done more damage to ground units with sling loads than bombs.
  7. I've noticed oscillations during aerial refueling. I'm fairly certain in my case it's PIO - I'll be a bit low, adjust to come up a bit, then notice I'm coming up too fast, so I adjust down, and end up doing a sine-wave dance below the tanker. I fly the F14, 15, 16, and 18 regularly, and this is the only aircraft where I experience this. Not sure if this will help you, but sometimes to rule out control issues, I'll put some exaggerated curves to see if the issue goes away. If it does, I adjust the curve, if not, I look elsewhere.
  8. My work schedule is way too unpredictable to commit to any multiplayer, so Jester it is. The only time I struggle with him is with A2A combat. I'm not proficient at controling him with the wheel at all, and it shows during combat.
  9. This one is already in my top modules. I'm enjoying it way more than I thought I would. It's quite effective at every role I enjoy - the long legs & huge quantity of armaments it carries makes for enjoyable long missions. I think the devs need to be commended for releasing an EA product with most of the major features working. Small things like TACAN, ILS, lights, etc. really go a long way in helping us forget it's EA. Looking forward to seeing how this aircraft develops with future releases.
  10. I really disliked the F14 when it first came out; it felt like the Wright Flyer after spending so much time in the FA18. After forcing myself to spend some time with the tomcat, it really grew on me. It's one of my favorite modules today, so I don't rely on my first impressions anymore. I do find we are reaching a point in DCS where modules are starting to overlap, but that's not complaint. I enjoy flying the same mission in different jets to see how it plays out differently. Aside from naval operations, the F14, F15, F16, and FA18 can mostly accomplish the same things, so it's a matter of taste at this point. Having more options is always a good thing.
  11. I find the F15 to be the easiest of the non-carrier aircraft to land. Just have to avoid landing fully loaded, much like any other plane in DCS.
  12. I noticed sometimes I can break the autopilot altitude functions. It tends to happen when I'm fighting with it, and at one point the autopilot will refuse to enable any kind of altitude hold function. I'll have to try to replicate it to see if I'm doing something wrong.
  13. I understand what you mean - I find myself using the helmet visor (left shift + N) for every daytime mission in the F15. The F16 canopy seems to provide quite a lot of sun protection compared to the F15, and the FA18 seems to be somewhere between the two. I only tested the Syria and PG maps, but sometimes without the visor I can hardly see anything. I'll try to take screenshots later.
  14. Can you include a picture/screenshot? What resolution are you running?
  15. Salut, I just tested it, and had no issues. Are you sure you pressed the space bar to "start" the mission after entering the data?
