Both sold.

It's a controller. It has encoders, and buttons. Honestly, it's great for what it's designed for, but since I started using VR exclusively, and picked up PtCtrl, I'm tired of trying to fumble for switches. The item works great. No issues.

For sale on eBay, two 1080p 8" monitors used for external MFD viewing. I had a couple of Thrustmaster MFD Cougars velcro'd to them, so there's a little cosmetic wear (sticky stuff). Anyway, they work fine. I just don't use them anymore since I use VR. Listing: https://www.ebay.com/itm/254508278206

I have two sets of MFD Cougars up for sale. One set is a little more bare bones than the other. See listings below. I've tested all 4, and they all worked without issue. Bare Bones: https://www.ebay.com/itm/254508254878 Full(er) set: https://www.ebay.com/itm/254508256965

As the title says. Lightly used, like new, just don't use it much anymore since I have VR, and PtCtrl. Listing: https://www.ebay.com/itm/254507860648

For sale as in the title (eBay). Perfectly working Mongoose T-50 BE. Basically, I just don't use it, so figured someone else might want to. Listing: https://www.ebay.com/itm/254507797540

So, the new electronics provide better reliability because of increased performance? Just want to make sure I understand exactly what you're getting with the electronics upgrade. I haven't had an issue yet with reliablity/processing speed with either my Mk1, or MkII.

I have a GF1, and a GF2. Oddly enough, I have X-axis issues with mine as well.

Thanks for the update Big Newy. Glad it's at least known, now.

Great news, thanks!

Big Newy, Thanks for the reply. I attached two tracks, one using the 'Joystick with No Springs or FFB' option, and one with the Default Trim option. I used the same stick for both tests, a Brunner CLS-E, but I turned off all hardware trim on my stick. Basically, this means it acts like a normal spring to center stick, no different than a Warthog, Gunfighter, T-50, etc. For both tracks, FFB is unchecked in the Misc options. In the track with trim set to 'Joystick with No Springs or FFB,' I take off, get the aircraft straight and level (with the pitch excursions, it takes a second or two to let it settle down), and then depress the cyclic trimmer. On the first press, you'll see from the controls indicator, that I don't move the controls, but the nose pitches down quite a bit while the trimmer is held down. I manually move the controls to arrest the rate of descent, and get back to straight and level with the trimmer released. This time, I depress the trimmer, and the nose pitches up while the trimmer is held down. I release the trimmer, get it straight and level, and try again. What seems to be happening is it alternates between pitching up, or down while the trimmer is depressed, opposite of the time before. In the track with trim set to Default, I take off, get the aircraft straight and level using the trimmer. Once straight and level, I depress the trimmer multiple times without moving the controls for various amounts of time, and get little to no excursions. Really any movement there, is probably me moving the stick a tiny bit. Nothing like you see in the track using 'Joystick with No Springs or FFB.' I didn't try it in the track, but if you look back through the thread (I know, it's a little messy as we tried to nail down exactly what the issue was), the bug seems to disappear if you turn the pitch attitude hold off when using 'Joystick with No Springs or FFB.' Of course, this isn't ideal, because now the damping, and stabilizing effects of the autopilot are not in effect. Whatever the problem is, it seems to be specific to using the 'Joystick with No Springs or FFB,' and the pitch attitude hold function.

Joystick With No Springs or FFB trim bug I thought I'd start another thread on this, as the original narrowed this bug down to a problem with this particular trim method. If you use the trim method mentioned in the title, there is an uncommanded pitch down when you depress the cyclic trimmer switch that increases the longer you hold down the trimmer switch. It can be arrested by manually applying aft cyclic, but definitely shouldn't be there in the first place. When the trimmer is released, the nose pitches up (again, uncommmanded) seemingly at the same magnitude of the uncommanded down pitch while the trimmer button was held. This seems to only happen when using the Joystick with No Springs or FFB trimming method, and while the Pitch Attitude autopilot channel is on.

It’s compatible with a win 10. Can’t say I’ve used it with the new Beta. Lovcar, you have to go to Brunner’s software page and register to get a login access. Here’s The link: https://www.brunner-innovation.swiss/software-download-page-2/ You need to then download CLS2 software to use with the CLS-E.

Any update is on this from the devs? I pm’ed Nineline a couple of weeks ago, and he said thanks, and it would get looked at.

Cool, thx FireCat!

FireCat/Miles, I happen to have two stations at my house, and was wondering if it would be possible to get added at the end of the list for another sensor and set of FCUs? I don't want to take away from someone who hasn't gotten theirs yet.

I bought mine in April, before they changed them. I’ve just been putting off sending it back.

I'd definitely love to help! Right now, the sim just reads the stick like a regular spring based stick, and I trim the direct drive motors using the hat switch, and buttons on the grip. The sim doesn't know it's any different, since I don't map any trim switches for any aircraft in game. This presents a small problem with the Ka-50, since the heading hold won't capture a new heading unless you press the in game 'trimmer,' but the work around is just shutting off heading hold, and using the pedals like an actual pilot. I'd like to use the heading hold function, but there seems to be a bug with the "Joystick without springs and FFB" option. See here: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=252975 True FFB integration into DCS would be ideal, but the work arounds with the Brunner stick are still way better than using a spring based stick. Hopefully one day Brunner's FFB integration will not be so hard to get working. In the meantime, I'll try to hop on Discord one of these days on the PtCtrl channel and chat about things.

Any chance the solder instructions for the hardware fix could be put up here? I started a trouble ticket to send my base back, but haven't heard from them. I wouldn't mind seeing if an electronics specialist nearby could do the fix.

I noticed the same thing. The email said I should have received it yesterday, but when I actually checked the tracking (after I received nothing), the website said today. Crossing my fingers.

At it again, huh Miles? This will truly be an awesome addition to any simpit when it comes to fruition. Currently, I'm using a Brunner CLS-E, which has buggy DCS support with regards to native FFB, but the hardware functionality makes it worth it. I would suggest doing something similar, where a gui allows you to setup parameters for standard trim functions, regardless of what sim you are playing. For example, with the Brunner, I can setup a force trim release button, and 4-way force trim hat within the Brunner software, and then use that profile for any aircraft within DCS, or any sim for that matter. I have a helo profile, and a fixed wing profile. The integration you're talking about, with a different set of effects for each aircraft, would be even better, for sure.

My vote is eastern Afghanistan. I served in all the RCs, but honestly, this is the area that is the most interesting to fly in in my opinion. Mountains are a challenge, especially for helicopter pilots, near the ground, supporting operations. No offense at all to my brothers and sisters in other RCs, at whatever time in history, but just my feeling thinking about the time I've spent there. Eastern Afghanistan feels different, and is what I think about whenever I think of that country. That said, I'll be happy with whatever we get.
