excellent I look forward to this going live

Owned one of these for 3 months now, you will be adjusting this every 2 weeks or so with daily use

and another TIP better to use mono OGG files for audio etc as they are a lot smaller in size

Edited the mission to add a 60 delay before beacon starts and as I said initially said this is the same problem that has been about for many many years with radio beacons The beacon works , ED do need to fix it so that IF you connect after a beacon started you can hear/tune to it, but restarting the beacon every so often works around this, thats what most of us server hosters have been doing for years now Beacons_need_refreshed_on_dedicated_servers.miz

Yeah I will have a quick look, weird that your server cannot get radio beacons working at all , but they have been working ok on the Havoc Company servers for past 4 years (within the afore mentioned limitations)

+1 I can also confirm this , snow (not all of it but some) was passing thru the cockpit when flying

I do a mixture of COLD and HOT start on my server, as sometimes I just want to get up into the air a pew pew stuff

Very clever work around, nice one

here is a mission file to show this, load mission , play mission , observe AI being weird ai_infatry_bug_3445543.miz

@Flappie was observing some AI Infantry attacking some blue infantry and noticed this weird behaviour AI are shooting bullets without pointing directly at enemy, you can see this from the tracers

it is held down , one button per position

I use the mode dial on my throttle to control profiles in Joystick gremlin, I do it this way because I am lazy/efficient and like to do things the easiest way possible Benefits of Joystick Gremlin for using button press on device to keyboard press: example: you fly a bunch of different aircraft from different vendors DCS will auto assign a device button to a function eg flaps so for A-10C that maybe button #2 for M-2000C that might be button #4 for Mig-21 that might be button #5 So I have to remember a different button to do the exact same function depending on which aircraft I am flying ... or bind the same button in DCS to that function for each aircraft (PITA) The smart way, I use joystick gremlin to create a profile that handles this better eg I assign button #2 on my throttle to send keyboard press F to windows Now I know that button #2 does flaps toggle for pretty much every DCS aircraft I hope this explains why GJ makes life easier, I only bind axis for DCS in game JG does the rest

IS this stuff safe to use on Nylon ?

- Ive noticed the T-50CM3 throttle also has " mode select " buttons. Can anyone confirm that these will hold the " switch " signal with DCS? That was the problem with the X56. You would change the mode select button, but after 20-30 seconds the throttle would stop transmitting the mode select and you would default back to whatever your base map was. Otherwise, I guess I would use this like I do now for my ECM dial in the hornet, haha. You can configure it to act as a held down button if you want, but that is a bad way to use it - Virpil of course say that you can either use the control panels independently, or attach an auxilery cord that then merges the panel's together to become one big controller block. Does it work as they say it does, WITH DCS? Nope, you can add one control panel on the AUX port of a base eg throttle or CM2 base, you cant put two control panels together

I own both grips , I would recommend the CM2 grip over the Alpha grip IF you are using a mount , for desktop use Alpha is shorter and better suited to that

try the havoc company server, it is not PvP so you can fly about and do stuff without worrying about being shot down

great design from Eagle Dynamics, single point of failure with no backup IT was yet another hick up with ED master server

You will have to do this every so often as it will "work loose/wear" and start to flop a bit

is this done in the mission itself ? using the enforce option ?

this could maybe be a bug in the moose lua file causing this problem

Yeah but the OP is not talking about that button, it is about the axis not working until you use a button (page up) or scroll mouse on the throttle

yes indeed they do https://forum.virpil.com/index.php?/topic/5764-virpil-controls-black-friday-sale-2021/&tab=comments#comment-32257

Thanks @Flappie for sticking with us to get this reported, just ignore Tanuki44 clearly does not understand what the original post was about

this part of my review shows how the virpil collective is modelled on the huey throttle and how the inter-lock works

@Flappie It is indeed a bug I have seen some videos showing how the real huey throttle works in the cockpit When the throttle is at zero percent, you are able to twist it and increase it out of idle once it goes past idle it will not allow you to decrease it below idle without pressing the button on the collective (safety feature to stop you accidentally turning the throttle so low engine goes out) In the cockpit you should be able to increase the throttle and increase the fuel flow without having to use any buttons The issue specifically is you cannot move ( increase) the throttle axis out of off without using a button (page up) or mouse to scroll the throttle axis in the cockpit It is not about reducing the throttle , it is about increasing it from a cold start (as detailed in the first post)
